The story centers around two men. Mozart (Kazu Patrick Tang) who is the wolf. As a child he was saved by a Shaman at the cost of his mother's soul. When she died he was "cared for" by his "brother" Julius (Johan Kirsten) the Dragon, giving us the title. They became successful hitmen in the city of Devil's Cauldron. The story starts out confusing as Mozart is killing Julius' men to the displeasure of their mutual boss. Through a series of flashbacks we discover that Julius attempted to have Mozart killed over a love triangle involving Mary (Macha Polivka) a woman with a dragon tattoo.
The film is basically a Thai grindhouse. It includes some classically bad dubbing on a few of the minor characters. The two hour feature allows us to develop some complexity for the two main characters as we have scenes of Julius visiting his dying mother. Perhaps the downfall of the film is its genre mixing as a martial arts grindhouse and love drama, the latter of which wasn't done well. It also introduces a major character 90 minutes into the film to tie up some plot points.
The film had enough blood splatter and pretty girls to keep be entertained. Its haphazard flashback construction left me slightly confused for the early stages of the film. A soft 4 stars. Worth viewing for grindhouse fans.
Parental Guide: Not much swearing. There were a couple of badly dubbed "Mother Fo's" And when I say Mother Fo I mean Mother Fo and not something that sounds like it. There was something that sounded like a quick F-bomb spoken by Julius when he first describes Mary's dragon tattoo. Sex scenes and a healthy amount of nudity including the main female leads Macha Polivka and Guk Srisawat.

HAVE SOME CANDY?
Solid action let down by some poor acting and a weak story
This martial arts action film is set in a city called The Devil's Cauldron were might is right and only the strong survive. Mozart and Julius are two such survivors; they have looked on each other as brothers since they met as children but now they are mortal enemies; the reason... they have both fallen in love with the same woman. As the film starts the trying to kill each other; we learn why via a series of flashbacks.
If you enjoy martial arts action this film delivers many fine fight scenes as well as a fair amount of brutality... unfortunately these scenes are linked by a story that isn't really strong enough. The acting is very mixed; I thought Kazu Patrick Tang was pretty solid as Mozart; Johan Kirsten was okay as Julius and Macha Polivka was good enough but underused as Mary, the woman who gets between them. I liked Guk Srisawat's performance as Umiko although she felt like a character who had wandered in from another, probably better, film. Many secondary actors were distinctly poor. At times it felt as though the makers had seen other, better, films, notably 'Sin City' and 'Kill Bill part One' and decided to combine them with little success. Overall I'd say that this film has its moments but overall it was a bit disappointing... probably best watched with a few friends and several beers.
Good Film
I think the quality of the films presented in this movie is great because a lot of the best scenes in view of these impressions. Dragonwolf it tells the story like the dragon against the wolf which was the best strength to calm him down.
But it would be nice if which issued in the form of the action movie genre like this involve other genre of professional players like Stephen Chow, or other actors to make it more interesting and more challenging and watched good for longer.
to make the best possible first scene that target destination. For the second scene looking for opponents to play good and the selection of an equal adversary in the final stage where the opponent look lost first leading role in efforts to win new experience merebutkan women.
hopefully there is a continuation of the film dragonwolf which tells the same story but different enemy opposing players where, the story goes according grooves and interlocking in the ce
