Fire Dragon (Template:Zhl) is a 1994 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Yuen Woo-ping, starring Brigitte Lin as the eponymous protagonist.
Plot
Yingxia, nicknamed "Fire Dragon", is an assassin serving under the Sixth Prince, who has sent her on a mission to retrieve and destroy a letter containing evidence of the prince's treason. The letter falls into the hands of Xuanming, a wandering swordsman. Both Xuanming and Yingxia go undercover in a travelling acrobatic troupe led by Lianru while trying to draw each other.
As Yingxia gets more involved with people who welcome her into their homes, she gradually changes from being a cold-hearted killer to a generous, warm-hearted person. When the Sixth Prince learns of Yingxia's betrayal, he sends her friend Yingxue to kill her. After Yingxia kills Yingxue in a duel, she is determined to give up her past ways. With help from a few chivalrous friends, she stands up to and eventually defeats the Sixth Prince.
Cast
Reception
Andrew Saroch of fareastfilms.com gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Taking a popular narrative and adding a unique sense of charm to it, Yuen Woo-ping creates a strangely captivating atmosphere with a familiar cast. Brigitte Lin is superb as the beautiful assassin who finds herself in a conflict between her head and her heart. It's very refreshing to see her move away from the traditional ice-queen and portray someone with a slowly unravelled vulnerable side. Although very dependent on wires, Yuen Woo-ping's stellar choreography is of his usual high standard and there is still a few moments of genuine physicality that will have fans looking for the rewind button. Overall then, 'Fire Dragon' offers a very pleasing evening’s entertainment that is unlikely to disappoint."[2]
Cherycok of darksidereviews.com gave the film a rating of 5.5 out of 10.[3]
