Plot summary

In New York, racist Capt. Stanley White becomes obsessed with destroying a Chinese-American drug ring run by Joey Tai, an up-and-coming young gangster as ambitious as he is ruthless. While pursuing an unauthorized investigation, White grows increasingly willing to violate police protocol, resorting to progressively violent measures -- even as his concerned wife, Connie, and his superiors beg him to consider the consequences of his actions.

The set pieces are good, especially the Chinese

The set pieces are good, especially the Chinese restaurant shoot out and the train stunt. But Mickey Rourke just doesn’t put together a performance that makes you want to root for him or get you invested in the story as a whole and maybe that’s what this movie is missing. Caroline Kava is the best actor in the movie. Don’t be in a rush to see it.

Michael Cimino comeback film “Year of the Dragon”

Michael Cimino comeback film “Year of the Dragon” is a raw, compelling, and entertaining film! Mickey Rourke portrays Stanley White.. a captain for the NYPD and is assigned to Chinatown to stop criminal activity but has to face off against Joey Tai who runs the gangs and the mafia. Very excellent performances from Mickey Rourke and John Lone who portrays Tai. The movie can feel a bit out of tune at times and seems to be messy but is so entertaining. Worth the watch!

Entertaining, with plenty of action, and a solid

Entertaining, with plenty of action, and a solid cops‑versus‑gangsters setup. Oliver Stone and Cimino put together a competent script, and Cimino’s direction keeps it steady. The cast is strong. It wasn’t well‑received at the time, and the controversies didn’t help, but taken on its own, it’s worth a watch—fun enough, with a few memorable scenes.
