A biography that looks almost as ludicrous as any of its star's films, Dragon still work quite well as entertainment. And there are some chilly overtones involving Lee's son Brandon, killed earlier that year while filming, as the movie dwells at length on the nightmare 'demons' that pursued both father and son. Scenes where Lee is drawn into fights after coming to America, then starts a martial arts academy, may be authentic but fit less cosily into the scenario, while a sequence where Lee is attacked by restaurant staff wielding kitchen choppers may give rise to more laughs than thrills. Jason Scott Lee and Lauren Holly catch Lee and his wife well enough, and Rob Cohen's direction keeps the film moving at a pace that (apart from a very slow credit sequence) keeps us occupied without stretching our minds.
