YesAsia Editorial Description

Dragon Squad is a gun-blazing, thrill-seeking cop thriller busting at the seams with a sexy cast and a stylish visual edge.

Taiwanese pop star Vanness Wu, from the boy band F4, stars as Hao, an American Chinese cop who teams up with Shawn Yu's Hong Kong detective Lok, former undercover agent Suet (Eva Huang from Kung Fu Hustle), Chinese super sniper Lu (Xia Yu) and former British operative James (Lawrence Chou) to take down a seriously evil bad guy. However, when he gets rescued by a gang of even less friendly mercenaries, headed up by Colombian Petros (played by American actor Michael Biehn, from Aliens and The Rock) the streets of Hong Kong becoming a shooting gallery as the two sides engage in all-out war.

Co-starring Simon Yam, Sammo Hung and Maggie Q, Dragon Squad dazzles with its combination of knowing style and high octane action, including an incredible twenty minute gun fight where the two sides square off in an alley way. From director Daniel Lee, who previously worked with Vanness on Star Runner, Dragon Squad succeeds as old-fashioned Saturday night fun, the likes of which appears all too rarely in Hong Kong these days.

Director: Daniel Lee

　　香港警方與來自五湖四海的國際刑警阿豪、阿樂、杰仔、少軍、阿雪聯手押運極度重犯段邊豹，誰料，段邊豹竟被一班神秘高手劫走，國際刑警在香港的首個任務鎩羽而歸。警方矛頭直指段邊豹的胞兄段邊虎，年青的國際刑警初生之犢不畏虎」，誓死緝拿段邊虎歸案，將功贖罪。然而，他們卻被勒令不許在香港執法，國際刑警陷入進退兩難的局面。阻撓並沒有吹熄他們的決心，相反卻燃燒起他們的鬥志，可是，「劫犯案」發展卻愈來愈撲朔迷離……

　　A team of young Interpol agents arrives in Hong Kong to give testimony at the trial of local crime lord `Puma' Duen. Among them are American agent Andy Hui (Andy On), Taiwanese cop Vanness Chang (Vanness Wu), and local lawman Lok. They are greeted by Hong Kong police commander, Hon Sun (Simon Yam). The heavily armed convoy taking Puma to court is attacked by a ruthless team of North Korean agents, led by international terrorist Petros Davinci (Michael Biehn). Petros is seeking revenge for his brother in arms, who was killed by Puma and his brother, `Tiger' Duen. At Petros' side is his fierce enforcer, Ko (Jun-ho Heo), and a lethal lady sniper, Song (Maggie Q). After Puma is snatched, the Interpol team insists on tracking down Petros themselves. Hon Sun rejects their request and places the team in the care of veteran police officer Kong Long (Sammo Hung). A burned out cop who has never come to terms with either his personal or professional history, Long Kong is reluctant to get involved. Finally, inspired by his young charges, he rises to the occasion, and leads the Interpol team on their quest for Petros and his team. The mean streets of Hong Kong form a backdrop for a battle of wills, wits, and urban warfare.

Dragon Pipsqeeks Customer Review Rated Bad 0 - 0 out of 10
The name of this movie should be renamed "Dragon Pipsqueeks", all too often average budget movies with allstar casts fall short of expectations. This is one of those movies. This is my first review and I only posted it, because I felt it was necessary to unleash my hatred towards this movie and to spare others from wasting 90 minutes or so of their lives.

Let me just preface this review with a confession. I hate Vanness Wu, his acting is up to par with a dead fish. From what I've heard he was part of an asian boy band. All I can say is, he should have stuck to his day job. His acting in this movie follows suit with his other movie, "Star Runner" just plain rubbish.

Now, with an allstar cast featuring Sammo Hung, Simon Yam and Shawn Yue. One would think this would be a pretty kick butt martial arts movie. Wrong, this film utilizes cliche gun battle scenes that have been done over and over again in asian and western cinema. Nothing about the story adds up. Having an all star team of "kids"(as they put it) battle opposing forces just makes me think the director of this rubbish played too much CS(CounterStrike, its a game. look it up). In fact, all the weapons are commonly used in the game, from blades,mp5s,ak47s,sniper rifles, etc... Nothing tactical or strategic about the way they used these weapons makes it at all interesting. Everyone was just spraying and praying that the bullets would hit someone. In fact there's a semi-long weapons battle where all the weapons were used and after 15 minutes of shooting and god-knows how many bullets, no one is hurt.

One of the worst things about this movie is that there are way too many flash sequences introducing the characters over & over & over again.

The only reason, I even sat through this trash was to see the beautiful vixen Maggie Q, but even her role as a "Vietnamese Sniper" just doesn't sit well with me. Do yourself a favor, read through all the previous reviews and come to your own conclusions. If you feel like torturing your friends buy this movie for them. Otherwise, save yourself from such waste. Check out, "Flashpoint" starring Donnie Yen or "Eye in the Sky" another movie with Simon Yam.

 Eva Huang Shengyi............. Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
I mainly bought this VCD to see how well Eva Huang acts, since my last film with her in it was Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle", and also the cover look appealing. The blurb written at the back cover sounds like a decent storyline. But the film somewhat fall short of its promise. This film is more to do in introducing a new crop of actors who are yet to make it big. Looks good, but leaves you with an empty feeling.

"Hollywood-wannabe" Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
I was actually excited to see this movie in theaters, which I failed to do so. With all the "casting coup", and lavish promotions,it's so hard not to be tempted to watch this movie. But... one word is enough to describe this movie after i watch it...DISAPPOINTING!!! Trying so hard to be "hollwood-like", but it failed. Action scenes are well executed, but kinda bad acting for some of the actors! Sammo Hung & Shawn Yue delivers...but the rest...I cant really say. I've been expecting much from Vanness Wu's performance, but failed to deliver.He looks too "feminine" to be an action star. I think he should concentrate more on singing or dancin & performing on stage, coz he definitely kicks *** than acting!

 OMG Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
Sammo and Shawn Yu was too good for this movie. The ending made no sense. Vanness and his whole crew shouldn't of even lived at the end but they did. They messed up pretty bad. If you like senseless action, I guess this movie is for you. Other then that it's not that good.
