Review: Legend of the Dragon is satisfying light hearted fare which also is another variation on the "fish out or water" concept: You have Chow's character removed from his remote home(Lautau),and then is placed in Hong Kong, a setting that is entirely different from the other. This conventional premise though is done right with laughter ensuing from his misadventure(s).

Stephen Chow has such an arresting on screen appeal whether it's his famous no nonsense talk or his slapstick visuals; in Legend of the Dragon he manages to steal the scene in which Amy Yip has a cameo, which is quite a feat. Chow also has the ability to humiliate yet at the same time pay homage to Bruce Lee through mimicking Lee's trademark mannerisms: Every now and then you'll laugh/cheer for him when he breaks into a Bruce Lee scream or pose. Stephen plays his character, Lung, with a nice touch of humor and innocence that belongs to a child. Mo Shun Kwan is an amiable on-screen presence as Mao; the banter and antics between her and Chow are insanely funny to watch. Yuen Wah, in great shape as ever, can keep up with Stephen Chow and possesses throughout the film an almost dry sense of humor.

Legend of the Dragon sports a few inventive fights scenes choreographed by Corey Yuen and Yuen Wah that also showcase Chow's comedic and physical talents. Though what would a film about Snooker be without actual snooker playing: Danny Lee makes the pool table action quite elaborate and enticing with flashy tricks and also with a short role from professional Snooker player Jimmy White.
