Tim Hunter on

Dragons Forever

Released 1988
Distributor Golden Harvest

In Sammo Hung’s Dragons Forever, three Hong Kong superstars go against type, but when the going gets tough, they stay true to form. The usually wide-eyed Jackie Chan is a slick lawyer, gun-shy Hung plays a savvy private investigator, and the street-smart Yuen Biao is a bizarre inventor. The trio joins forces to expose a drug-smuggling operation. Though not a typical Chan blockbuster when released, the film’s reputation has grown over the years.

In TV, he has directed episodes of Twin Peaks, Homicide, the Beverly Hills 90210 pilot, and most recently episodes of Mad Men, Dexter, American Horror Story, Hannibal and others.  Although he doesn’t see retirement from directing coming anytime too soon, Hunter spends much of his down time on an editing bench in Sante Fe cleaning, restoring and repairing old 16mm prints – presumably good for the soul as well as the prints.
