Synopsis
Heart of Dragon (龍的心, 1985) is a Hong Kong action drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by and starring Sammo Hung alongside Jackie Chan. Hung plays Dicky, a mentally impaired man in his thirties; Chan plays Ted, his younger brother and reluctant caretaker, who works as an elite police officer and quietly dreams of an overseas assignment he can never take.
The drama turns when Dicky gets mixed up with a gang of thieves who see an easy mark. They underestimate the situation considerably. Ted's response involves the kind of close-quarters fight choreography Chan's Hong Kong films are known for, but the action here is sharper because of what's at stake — this isn't stunt work as spectacle, it's a brother settling a score.
What makes the film stand out is Hung's performance: he plays Dicky without caricature, finding the dignity and frustration in the character rather than going for easy sympathy. For fans used to the pair's comedies, this one lands differently. Watch Heart of Dragon (1985) online on iFILM.
