Invincible Dragon (2019)

九龍不敗

Der Undercover-Polizist Kowloon (Max Zhang) übernimmt immer dann, wenn die Ermittler bei mysteriösen Fällen nicht weiter kommen. Dabei ist Kowloons Erscheinung mit einem riesigen Drachen-Tattoo auf dem Rücken selbst mysteriös. Für seinen neusten Fall begibt er sich unter anderem nach Macau: Ein Unbekannter ermordet scheinbar wahllos Polizistinnen. Da die Öffentlichkeit ein wachsames Auge auf die blutigen Mordfälle geworfen hat, müssen schnellstmöglichst Ergebnisse her - in nur zwei Wochen soll der Täter dingfest gemacht werden. Als Kowloons Verlobte entführt wird, beginnt die Sache für ihn persönlich zu werden. Oder war sie das schon von Anfang an?

Wissenswertes

The Invincible Dragon is a 2019 Hong Kong crime action film directed and co-written by Fruit Chan, and stars Max Zhang, Anderson Silva, Kevin Cheng, Annie Liu, and Stephy Tang. The film follows a dragon-believing police detective (Zhang) investigating a serial murderer targeting policewomen which results in the death of his fiancée (Tang), as he hopes to enlist the dragon's help along the way.

Production

The screenplay of The Invincible Dragon was first conceived seven to eight years prior to the production, predating director and writer Fruit Chan's 2014 feature film The Midnight After. Originally conceptualized as a police detective film, Chan wished to add more indie film elements to the project and turn it into a cult film, where co-writer Jason Lam proposed to include a dragon.

Principal photography began on 30 October 2016. On 20 November, filming took place in Sai Kung. On 24 November, Annie Liu was reportedly injured her arm while filming a fight scene with Anderson Silva. Filming relocated to Macau in January 2017, with a scene shot at the headquarters of the Public Security Forces Affairs Bureau of Macau on 12 January.

Due to an extensive amount of VFX effects and editing, post-production spanned around three years. The special effects were jointly handled by South Korea's Macrograph and Hong Kong's Different Digital Design. An official trailer was released in April 2019. Distribution rights in China were acquired by Bona Film Group in the same year.
