Synopsis
The Hong Kong action film New Dragon Gate Inn (1992) is ready to watch online on iFILM. Director Raymond Lee and producer Tsui Hark drop the story into a dusty Ming-dynasty desert, where a remote roadside inn turns into a trap for everyone who walks through its door.
The year is 1457. The all-powerful eunuch Cao rules in the boy emperor's name and orders the bloodline of a general he executed wiped out. The heirs are marched toward the lonely inn at Dragon Gate, where killers already wait. Two wandering swordfighters step in to shield them, played by Tony Leung Ka-fai and Brigitte Lin. The innkeeper herself — sharp-tongued, light-fingered Jade, played by Maggie Cheung — robs her guests and slits throats with the same grin. Among the eunuch's blades is a young Donnie Yen.
This film reopened the wuxia genre for the 1990s and handed it one of the great closing duels in the sand. If you like fast blade work laced with scheming and black comedy, it lands perfectly. Stream New Dragon Gate Inn (1992) online on iFILM.
