I started watching this years ago but I never finished. Maybe I can find it on a streaming site.

1 or 2 flops is forgivable. It's what he did with his career afterwards

A flop on the scale of Heavens Gate is already unforgivable then you follow it up with Year of the Dragon and The Sicilian :huhldup:

The Silician was a horrible movie for many reasons

Year of The Dragon is a great movie and was unfairly was hated on since it came out after Heaven’s Gate

But if judged by its own merit or if it was directed by another director, Year of The Dragon would receive more love

Crazy action
Great performance by Rourke
John Lone was pretty good too

My issues with the movie are small enough where they don’t kill the enjoyment

Definitely left an impression on me

Yeah it’s classic 80’s in a nutshell

A damn shame Cimino and Rourke couldn’t really have a great director/actor run like Scorsese and De Niro
