Interesting facts

The Little Dragons is a 1980 American martial arts film directed and produced by Curtis Hanson, about two young brothers who use their karate skills to rescue a friend after she is held captive for ransom. It stars Charles Lane, Ann Sothern, Chris Petersen and Pat Petersen.

Production

Director Curtis Hanson was hired, in part of what he referred to as his "chequered early career."

The film stars the Petersen brothers, Chris (born in 1963), and Pat (born in 1966). Casting included Charles Lane, a "sharp-featured character actor... one of the most familiar faces in film... though he is one of those ubiquitous players, whose name is known to only a few." Pat E. Johnson was the film's fight choreographer.

Copyright on the script was filed in May 1978. The film was shot in the summer of 1978. As of that October, the film was scheduled for release "this Christmas." However, for unknown reasons, its release was delayed until July 1980.
