After several movies together, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung split up. Due to two missed opportunities, the Three Dragons never reunited.
Jackie Chan could have starred in two more Three Dragons movies, but these plans never came to fruition. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao were a trio of martial arts actors who made a string of movies together during the 1980s. Over time, they became known as the Three Dragons.
Trained in kung fu by the same martial arts master, the three actors have a storied friendship that dates back to their childhood. After all three transitioned into acting, they began working together and were eventually able to headline movies, with the three actors typically playing the protagonists.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2 Movies Almost United Jackie Chan’s Three Dragons Dragons Forever remains their final film together, but that’s not to say that efforts weren’t made to get the three actors to share the same screen again. In fact, there were two movies where a proper Three Dragons reunion almost happened. The first was Don’t Give A Damn, a Hong Kong martial arts comedy starring Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung.
Years later, it was Chan who tried to organize a Three Dragons reunion via his 2006 movie, Rob-B-Hood. Yuen had a supporting role in the film, but Hung was absent. Similar to what happened with Don’t Give A Damn with Chan dropping out for Rumble in the Bronx, scheduling conflicts once again stood in the way, this time with Hung not being available.
They moved on, with Jackie Chan obviously finding the most success after the split. Yuen too embarked on a career as a solo star, making a number of kung fu films in the 1990s. As for Hung, he became an accomplished martial arts movie director and continues to find work in the industry to this day. Yuen hasn’t acted since 2016, but it’s not impossible that yet another opportunity for a Three Dragons reunion will one day present itself.
