Year of the Dragon (1985) Tough guy cop Mickey Rourke crashes into New York's Chinatown, where his bosses won't believe there's a Chines mafia of Triad gangs. His wife is fed up of being messed around while he's busy planning to bust every Chinese criminal enterprise and cause chaos. The cop starts chasing a Chinese reporter when he's not chasing gangsters, one of whom sends young punks to kill the cop and his wife; but only the wife gets it.
   A Chinese undercover cop is shot to pieces but he passes on the details of a ship bringing in heroin from Bangkok. His bosses turn against him so the cop goes after the young boss bad guy alone; and lets him blow his brains out after their final encounter. The film ends where it started; with a bad parody of a New Orleans funeral in New York's Chinatown. This is the sort of film that seems to go on for ever and ever.
