Movies - Dragon Gate Inn


Dragon Gate Inn (TC: 龍門客棧, SC: 龙门客栈, pinyin: Lóng mén kè zhàn), also known as Dragon Inn, is a 1966 film directed by King Hu starring Shang Kuan, Chun Shih, Ying Bo, Jian Tsao and Han Xue.

Plot summary

Civil War has broken out with the capture of a famous General, loyal to the Emperor. The General is beheaded at the hands of the Emperor's enemy, East Chamber. Three travelers are followed as they attempt to free the two surviving children of the General, who have also been captured for ransom and propaganda. As the heroes attempt to escape across a border from an encroaching army, they are forced to assume fake identities while being pursued into a dusty Inn, operated by misfits and a madame with secrets of her own. Outnumbered by a mercendary army and trapped in the border inn by a terrible storm, the heroes attempt to find a secret way of escape before its too late.

The New Dragon Gate Inn

The movie, starring famous Chinese beauty Brigitte Lin
, was the first in the line of a series of re-makes of the original 1966 film.

The New Dragon Inn is shot in standard wuxia fashion, a fast-paced supernatural action-thriller with Imperial China as a setting. Kungfu action, clever comedy, and drama ensues. Hailed as a movie greater than Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon by Chinese audiences, the movie is considered a staple classic.
