Format:DVD
This movie rates among the ten best kung fu movies of all time. The movie starts with a duel and from there, it is a continues action all the way to the end. The movie ends with the white dragon taking on an army all by himself. It is one of the most dynamic ending that I have ever seen. I will recomend this movie to anyone who is a martial arts fan. It would be worth purchasing this movie though the quality is very poor it will make up with the reasonable price

Format:DVD
This movie offers a great sense of character and storyline realism in the way it was filmed. Everything: the casting, the fight scenes, the plot, the original musical score--even the dubbing--comes together quite well in this movie.
Wang Yu portrays a lone fighter, "the White Dragon," who expertly wields a silver spear and gives allegience to no one. However, his fateful involvement with a young boy and pretty inn keeper place him on a true hero's path of interior change and even transcendence, through the situations he finds himself in while helping these two.
In addition to the merits of the film itself, for the price,... it is easily one of the best bargains among the many martial arts films I have purchased. The video transfer on my Platinum Video version of the DVD is a bit soft, but still acceptable. The video transfer on the Diamond Entertainment Release is superior, but the audio inferior, to the Platinum disc.
Top shelf all the way! Blood of the Dragon rightfully deserves to be on the "top ten" list of many a serious subscriber to this movie genre.

I must've been about seven years old when I first saw this chinese cult film. Starring Wang Yu as a spaghetti westernesque Clint Eastwood in the role of the "White Dragon", this film is sure to please as far as entertainment goes!
A young boy named Nichu stumbles upon a dying man who is a true patriot. The man asks, as a dying wish, that the boy give a bamboo tube (containing a list of names) to the young prince of the palace. When Nichu returns to the inn with the bamboo tube, he explains to Miss Yen, his guardian, that he must deliver the tube to the prince. But before he gets a chance, two guards enter from the Mongolians who demand the tube be given over. The White Dragon intervenes and saves Nichu from the guards' violent wrath. After Nichu explains his entrusted promise from the dying man to White Dragon, they both go on forward to deliver the tube. Unfortunately so, a man only known as the "Red Dragon" is leading his men of the Mongolians to find the list...and destroy all who oppose their oppression.
Quite a great film for it's small budget, including an awesome ending clash of blood and swords! I would recommend this great cult classic to those with a taste of old style chinese sword fighting. Truly a cool experience! 3 & 1/2 stars!

The last part is OK..
The main gimmick is that the main character uses a silver spear; to stab, poke and slash with great aplomb. Read more

Hard to rate - but worth the watch.
I was torn between a 3 and 4 star on this film (It is worth noting that I have the Platinum version rather than this version- so I will not speak of DVD quality). Read more

Better Than Average Kung Fu Fair
Blood of the Dragon does a few things that the "traditional" Kung Fu film does not do. For one, it does not indiscriminantly kill off characters. Read more
