Year of the Dragon (1985) Film Synopsis
In New York, racist Capt. Stanley White becomes obsessed with destroying a Chinese-American drug ring run by Joey Tai, an up-and-coming young gangster as ambitious as he is ruthless. While pursuing an unauthorized investigation, White grows increasingly willing to violate police protocol, resorting to progressively violent measures -- even as his concerned wife, Connie, and his superiors beg him to consider the consequences of his actions.

Deutsch Captain Stanley White hat sich die Befriedung von New Yorks Chinatown aufs Panier geschrieben. Durch seine unkonventionellen, oft rabiaten Methoden macht er sich nicht nur in der Unterwelt, sondern auch in den eigenen Reihen zahlreiche Feinde. Trotzdem gelingt es ihm, entgegen aller Intrigen und Widerstände (auch privater Natur) einen Keil in die chinesische Unterwelt zu treiben und den aufstrebenden Jungpaten kurz vor der endgültigen Machtübernahme unschädlich zu machen.
Italiano C'è un patto di non aggressione tra la polizia e gli "anziani" della comunità cinese di Chinatown. Quando però arriva il poliziotto Stanley White le cose cambiano. Dalla parte avversa milita il giovane e ambizioso Joey Tai, che sta tentando la scalata al potere della Triade, la spietata mafia cinese. White cerca di convincere la giornalista televisiva Tracy Tzu ad aiutarlo nella sua guerra.
Français Chinatown est à feu et à sang. En seulement quelques jours, alors que les fêtes du nouvel an chinois battent leur plein, des truands sont parvenus à éliminer le chef de l'association criminelle Hung-San, à pousser un commerçant réticent à se plier à la loi des gangs et à décimer la clientèle d'un restaurant. Le capitaine Stanley White, un ancien combattant du Viêtnam qui ne porte pas les Asiatiques dans son cœur, est chargé de l'enquête. Il comprend rapidement que le gendre de la première victime, Joey Tai, a commandité tous ces crimes et que son insatiable ambition promet encore d'autres assassinats. Entre les deux hommes, un duel sans merci s'engage...
Español Stanley White (Rourke) es un veterano del Vietnam que, tras quince años en la policía, es destinado a Manhattan Sur, un distrito de Nueva York. Su cometido es acabar con las bandas juveniles que dominan la zona. Sus investigaciones lo conducen a la peligrosa mafia china, dirigida por Joey Tai (John Lone), y cuyos métodos para controlar el tráfico de drogas son extraordinariamente violentos. Acabar con el crimen organizado se convierte para White en una obsesión, pero su traumático pasado y su situación presente lo arrastran más allá de las órdenes recibidas.
עִבְרִית סטנלי וויט (מיקי רורק) הוא שוטר ניו יורקי שמבקש ללכוד את ראשי המאפיה הסינית במנהטן. את וויט לא מאפיינת זהירות יתרה בעבודתו, והדבר מתבטא במרחץ הדמים שבדרך ללכידת מנהיג המאפיה. הוא נעזר בצלמת יפנית שנמשכת לקשיחות הבולטת של השוטר, ובו זמנית נרתעת מכך. מייקל צ'ימינו (צייד הצבאים) ביים סרט מתח עשוי היטב, המשלב גם את האלימות והארוטיקה הדרושים לאווירה. את התסריט כתב אוליבר סטון (נולד ב-4 ביולי)
Dansk Stanley White er en kompromisløs New Yorker betjent - udmærket for sit arbejde i de hårde kvarterer og for sin indsats for USA i Vietnamkrigen. Han er nu blevet bedt om at rydde op blandt de barske og voldelige bander i det berygtede Chinatown. Her støder han på Joey Tai, en af de respekterede og frygtede ledere i Chinatown, hvis mål er totalt herredømme i den kinesiske mafia. White får offentlighedens støtte gennem den smukke journalist Trazy, men må sande, at han er tilbage på Vietnams slagmarker, dog denne gang i sin egen jungle - og nu vil han vinde.

български език Режисьорът Майкъл Чимино, известен с филмите "Ловецът на елени" и "Вратата на рая", се е насочил към автентичния Чайнатаун за декор на високоскоростния екшън "Годината на дракона". Мики Рурк е в ролята на грубо полско-американско ченге, което си е поставило за задача не само да запази Чайнатаун безопасен за местните, но и да унищожава дълбоко вкоренената престъпност и наркокартели. Никой не подкрепя ченгето в неговия кръстоносен поход, и когато той се сблъсква с привидно любезен, но лукав престъпен бос и сексапилна новодошла, той май поема върху себе си повече, отколкото може да понесе... Хаосът и убийствата ще осеят улиците с трупове преди още пушекът да се е изчистил и прахът да е слегнал, и преди смътното, несигурно бъдеще да е настъпило.

Zavedení pořádku v Čínské čtvrti se pro něj stává osobní věcí.

Michael Cimino's controversial epic of corrupted idealism, set during the bloody Johnson County Wars of the 1890s, was detested by a majority of film critics upon its release and is now the subject of the "re-revisionism" that affects the reputation of many films and works of art. Some critics now regard "Heaven's Gate" (the film that almost brought down an American film studio) as a masterpiece...a film ahead of its time. The enormous cast includes Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Sam Waterston, Isabelle Huppert, John Hurt, Brad Dourif, Joseph Cotten, Jeff Bridges, Geoffrey Lewis, Richard Masur, Terry O'Quinn, Mickey Rourke and Willem Dafoe. The extraordinary cinematography is by Vilmos Zsigmond.
