Dragon Inn Reviews
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
King Hu's masterwork is guaranteed to out-Marvel any of the major blockbusters on this summer's release schedule.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
...the rare coalescing of disparate artistic modes into something so new, so bold, so defiantly different that the history of a genre can be demarcated into eras before it and after it.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Violence in "Dragon Inn" is exciting not just because it's choreographed exceptionally well, but because there's a genuine sense of danger and excitement in each fight scenes.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A sight to behold, tightly choreographed and beautifully shot, establishing Hu as a true master of the cinematic language.
Dare Daniel
Daniel Barnes
Dragon Inn still feels fresh and timeless, and the bold colors and old Hollywood aesthetic make this feel as much like John Ford's lost kung fu movie as a fifty year-old martial arts picture.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
There is action aplenty from start to finish and the fight choreography is splendid, especially considering that this is a 50 year old movie.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
We've grown accustomed to wire work in wuxia films...so it's all the more astonishing to watch swordsmen and women somersaulting through the air or chopsticks used to thwart weapons, all stunts accomplished in camera or through editing.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
Dragon Inn, therefore, represents King Hu's commercial apotheosis, the bridge between his popular hits and the more individualized path he'd continue to blaze with diminishing commercial results.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Director King Hu makes kinetic use of the widescreen frame: the action is dominated by gonzo knife throwing, and arrow fire has seldom felt so lethal.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
If the story is familiar, it's only because it's been used in centuries of Chinese fiction beforehand and countless movies since.
Metro
Matt Prigge
It's not often that an action movie as beautiful as it is ass-kicking, but any filmmaker who wants to excel at both can always study 1967's 'Dragon Inn.'
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
It features the tragic sweep and striking natural vistas that became hallmarks of Hu's later films, but it is also loads and loads of fun.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Dragon Inn delivers pure cinematic pleasure. I'm not sure it can be overpraised.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
I had an absolute blast with Dragon Inn and have no reservation suggesting it's among the very best wuxia titles I've ever seen.
Pittsburgh City Paper
Hannah Kinney-Kobre
For a genre so concerned with the distant past, wuxia's popularity in China is not premised strictly on nostalgia.
Village Voice
Luke Y. Thompson
This cast takes the project super seriously even at moments when you can't - and dammit, they'll make you believe.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
If you don't know the name King Hu, now's the perfect opportunity to remedy that.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Hu directs his fight sequences with a showman's flair but also a pickpocket's sleight of hand. He puts you inside the action.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
King Hu's Dragon Inn stands alone - a seminal example of a genre that continues to thrill admirers and fans throughout the world.
CBR
Howard Waldstein
A masterpiece of composition, choreography, and a lesson in minimalist storytelling.
