New Dragon Gate Inn (1992) watch online

New Dragon Gate Inn (新龍門客棧), also known as Dragon Inn in North America, is a 1992 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Raymond Lee and produced by Tsui Hark, starring Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung, and Donnie Yen. A remake of Dragon Gate Inn (1967), New Dragon Gate Inn was shot as a standard wuxia action thriller, with fast-paced action including martial arts, swordfighting and black comedy set in 15th-century China.

Both New Dragon Gate Inn and the original Dragon Gate Inn centre on the familiar wuxia motif of a corrupt Ming‑dynasty eunuch in power and a band of martial heroes striving to rescue the descendants of a loyal official. What distinguishes New Dragon Gate Inn is its incorporation of the innkeeper archetype Jin Xiangyu (金鑲玉), adapted from the proprietress Wan Jen-mi (萬人迷) in the 1973 wuxia film The Fate of Lee Khan. The remake weaves this character into the narrative and expands the story with a web of turbulent‑era passions, rivalries, and entanglements.

The film received a total of nine nominations across the 29th Golden Horse Awards and the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, ultimately winning the prize for Best Action Choreography.
