Kiss of the Dragon
- Rating:
- Director: Chris Nahon.
- Starring: Jet Li, Bridget Fonda, Tcheky Karyo, Burt Kwouk.
- Details: US / 98 mins (18).
Chinese cop Li arrives in Paris to watch over the arrival of a Chinese diplomat but finds himself the subject of a French manhunt. An uneasy blend of Gallic chic and Oriental chop-socky, Kiss of the Dragon boasts a nonsensical plot; even Jet Li's martial arts pyrotechnics cannot salvage a clichandeacute;d tale.
