Dragon Tiger Gate Review

• Dragon Tiger Gate English Dub
• Dragon Tiger Gate Full Movie

Review: Wilson Yip delivered a fine piece of Hong Kong cinema with his dark and gritty 'SPL'. No wonder that expectations were pretty high for his new movie, but any way you look at it, 'Dragon Tiger Gate' is just a big disappointment. A money-making, colorful and CGI-loaden exercise in stupid over-the-top action, that no one really needs. Dec 03, 2007 Tiger was raised at the virtuous martial arts academy The Dragon Tiger gate by Wong (Yuen Wah), while Dragon was raised by crime lord Kwun (Chen Kuan Tai)- two awesome martial fathers if you can get em'. Anyway, the two long lost brothers cross paths when Tiger disrupts a meeting between Kwun and mystery bad guy Shibumi- cue teahouse fight.

Dragon Wong = the third and final 1/6th release of DragonTigerGate-trio:
~ click on image below to read/view my short toy review of the figure ~
Dragon Wong, together with Tiger Wong (Dragon's younger brother) and their friend; Turbo Shek, were released as 1/6th articulated figures in conjunction with the 36th anniversary of the HK comicbook; Dragon Tiger Gate, better known as Oriental Heroes or Lóng Hǔ Mén (龙虎门 / 龍虎門)
:: the story of my 1/6 DTG ::
i was first 'attracted' to this series becoz i had chanced upon an earlier incarnation of an older/adult Tiger Wong (pictured here) and had lurved the comic/anime-ish headsculpt and dug the long hair (rare in 1/6th-sculpts) 'at a younger stage in their life' and more 'comic-book'-inspired, and hence without even looking at the product (no images were found online by myself), i plonked down a full advance for the trio of figures ... this was indeed foolish and totally goes against my purchasing-principle of see-before-you-buy ahahaha :p
all three figures worked out to be near SGD$120/USD$78, which was not half-bad for a full figure, really ... but considering t'was only the headsculpt i was gunning for, SGD$30 for a piece'a head was mildly ridiculous hahahaha

Dragon Tiger Gate English Dub

but i like 'em! especially Dragon's, with the teasing-fringe hahahahaha (as plastiky and bootlegged they might look LOL) ~ my thoughts and opinions on the figures are in my reviews:
-

Dragon Tiger Gate Full Movie

Dragon Wong / multiplied
- Turbo Shek / multiplied
- Tiger Wong / multiplied
and one of the main reasons for featuring these trio on my blog is, at least there'll be a record of these figures online, that hopefully will/would be easily/easier to access (at least in the English-language searches) *heh*

Synopsis Oriental Heroes is a popular Hong Kong-based manhua created by Wong Yuk Long, a writer/artist responsible for also creating a number of other popular manhua titles. It was created in 1970, and it continues to be published today. The book was the first Hong Kong manhua title based on action and fighting, often borrowing from the wuxia literary world. It established a new action genre of Hong Kong manhua and spawned many imitators. The theme of its stories often revolve around brotherhood and the fight for justice. The 2006 movie Dragon Tiger Gate was based on this manhua. Oriental Heroes is the book's official English name. Its Chinese name is pronounced in Cantonese, Lùhng Fú Mùhn (simplified Chinese: 龙虎门; traditional Chinese: 龍虎門; pinyin: Lóng Hǔ Mén). This name translates as 'Dragon Tiger Gate' in English, and is in reference to the name of the fictional kungfu school and organization that is a major subject matter in the book. Oriental Heroes was first published in 1970 under the title Little Rascals (traditional Chinese: 小流氓; Cantonese Yale: Síu Làuh Màhn). It featured stories about young people living in public housing estates in Hong Kong fighting gangsters and criminals. The heroes of the stories exhibited antisocial behaviours, but routinely fought for justice. In the early years of the book's run, the fighting was very graphically illustrated. Various weapons were used, where spilled blood, internal organs, guts, and bones were shown in the injuries that the characters sustained. People criticised the graphic violence depicted in Oriental Heroes and other similar action genre manhua, eventually leading to the enactment of the Indecent Publication Law in 1975, banning explicit violence in manhua.
