Dragon Lord
''Dragon Lord'' (also known as ''Dragon Strike'', ) is a 1982 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film starring and directed by Jackie Chan, who also wrote the screenplay with Edward Tang and Barry Wong. It was originally supposed to be a sequel to ''The Young Master'' and even had the name ''Young Master in Love'' until it was changed to ''Dragon Lord''. The film was experimented by Chan with various elaborate stunt action sequences in a period setting, serving as a transition between Chan's earlier kung fu comedy period films (such as ''Drunken Master'' and ''The Young Master'') and his later stunt-oriented modern action films (such as '' Project A'' and '' Police Story''). Plot Dragon (Jackie Chan) is the son of a Chinese aristocrat who is always getting in trouble, and likes to skip his lessons.
