Saw this on a double bill with "Springtime in a Small Town".
What an odd pairing!
"Springtime" was a deliberately paced, beautiful period piece and "The White Dragon" was an in-your-face laugh riot.
Another movie patron warned me that I would be wasting my time, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.
Never laughed so hard at an Asian film!
A lot of sight gags but Francis Ng's over the top performance won me over. Cecilia Cheung does a credible job as his foil.
Certainly not "high art", but if you desire a little levity and silliness, you won't be disappointed.
The late afternoon-evening that I spent watching these two films is one of my favorite solo adult experiences, so they'll always hold a place in my heart.
