Dragon Inn Collection

The Dragon Inn Collection is a trilogy of films spanning from 1967 to 2011, totaling 340 minutes in runtime with a combined budget of $35 million and revenue of $127,709. Across its three installments, the series consistently centers on an inn as a pivotal location, witnessing the arrival of diverse individuals with conflicting intentions. These encounters often lead to confrontations, requiring the inn's inhabitants to defend it or engage in strategic maneuvers. While incorporating fantastical elements such as dragons and flying swords, the core of the narratives explores interpersonal power dynamics and the psychological impact of violence on those involved. Throughout the collection, the inn functions as a sanctuary, a temporary refuge, or a site of conflict. The owner of the inn frequently assumes a central role in safeguarding it from harm, often while pursuing their own personal objectives. Despite variations in setting and characters across the films, a consistent element is that the events within the inn have lasting consequences for the establishment itself, its proprietors, and the various factions that intersect there. The trilogy comprises three films: 龍門客棧 (1967), 新龍門客棧 (1992), and Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (2011). The collection's total revenue is reported as $127,709.
