Dragon Tiger Gate Review

  • Dragon Tiger Gate has it all: copious martial arts, hot young idols, righteous posturing, noble comic book concepts, and above all, Donnie Yen. At its best, Dragon Tiger Gate is an energetic action fix, and Yen is the man who makes it happen.

Synopsis

Oriental Heroes is a popular Hong Kong-based manhua created by Wong Yuk Long, a writer/artist responsible for also creating a number of other popular manhua titles. It was created in 1970, and it continues to be published today. The book was the first Hong Kong manhua title based on action and fighting, often borrowing from the wuxia literary world. It established a new action genre of Hong Kong manhua and spawned many imitators. The theme of its stories often revolve around brotherhood and the fight for justice. The 2006 movie Dragon Tiger Gate was based on this manhua.
Oriental Heroes is the book's official English name. Its Chinese name is pronounced in Cantonese, Lùhng Fú Mùhn (simplified Chinese: 龙虎门; traditional Chinese: 龍虎門; pinyin: Lóng Hǔ Mén). This name translates as 'Dragon Tiger Gate' in English, and is in reference to the name of the fictional kungfu school and organization that is a major subject matter in the book.
Oriental Heroes was first published in 1970 under the title Little Rascals (traditional Chinese: 小流氓; Cantonese Yale: Síu Làuh Màhn). It featured stories about young people living in public housing estates in Hong Kong fighting gangsters and criminals. The heroes of the stories exhibited antisocial behaviours, but routinely fought for justice. In the early years of the book's run, the fighting was very graphically illustrated. Various weapons were used, where spilled blood, internal organs, guts, and bones were shown in the injuries that the characters sustained. People criticised the graphic violence depicted in Oriental Heroes and other similar action genre manhua, eventually leading to the enactment of the Indecent Publication Law in 1975, banning explicit violence in manhua.

The fare is just NT 12 (approximately US$0.50). The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas belong to the temple Cihji Palace (慈濟宮), which is located right across the street. Cihji Palace houses Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝), who along with other deities, are the patron saints of the area. The original Cihji Palace was built in the 17th century. Dragon Tiger Gate is one of the biggest hits to emerge from Hong Kong during the mid-2000a. It is an effective run through the Hong Kong style of martial arts filmmaking – a genre that has started to dry up somewhat in the early 2000s.
