Corruption. Extortion. Sometimes, even assassination. For the tradition-bound mob bosses of Manhattan’s Chinatown, there are age-old ways of running things. And now there’s police captain Stanley White’s way.

Mickey Rourke portrays White, a war veteran who has a Vietnam-sized chip on his shoulder when dealing with an emerging blood feud in Chinatown. John Lone plays the crime lord standing in the line of fire of White’s relentless campaign. And Academy Award®-winning* director Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot), working from a screenplay based on the novel by Robert Daley (Prince of the City) and coscripted by Oliver Stone, fills the screen with adrenaline rushes of action and excitement.

Mickey Rourke stars as Stanley White, the “most decorated cop in the history of the New York Police Department” in this stylish crime thriller that combines streetwise grit and neon noir. Vietnam veteran White still carries the psychological scars of his service, so his one-man crusade to clean up Chinatown summons more demons than angels. Directed by Michael Cimino with a screenplay co-written by Oliver Stone, Year of the Dragon proved to be a seminal action classic whose character study, chiaroscuro color palette and ballet of violence climax continues to influence cinema on both sides of the Pacific to this day. Reinvigorated thanks to this new High Definition Master, this Blu-ray presentation showcases this mini-masterpiece with the spotlight it deserves. SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary by Director Michael Cimino; Theatrical Trailer (HD). 16×9 Letterbox
