Chinatown: Sa Kuko ng Dragon (lit. 'Chinatown: In the Claws of the Dragon') is a 1988 Filipino action film directed by Pepe Marcos and written by Humilde 'Meek' Roxas. It stars Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr., Tony Ferrer, Eddie Garcia, Aurora Sevilla, Mia Pratts, Rez Cortez, Christopher Paloma, Rommel Valdez, Baldo Marro, and Ruben Rustia. Produced and distributed by Four-N Films, the film was released on December 8, 1988.
Critic Lav Diaz noted Chinatown's intense violence, which he thought was influenced by the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, and he expressed mixed feelings over the varying quality of the film's action scenes. The film received four FAMAS Award nominations, winning Best Picture - Action and Best Sound (Rolly Ruta).
