Returning to Jessica's hospital bedside, Liu removes an acupuncture needle from Jessica's neck, promptly waking her.

Richard suffers and dies from the "kiss of the dragon" just as Liu departs with Isabel. However, the bullet injury fails to prevent Liu from disarming Richard while sticking an acupuncture needle into the back of his neck, in a forbidden location known as the "kiss of the dragon," which stimulates all the body's blood to travel to the brain to cause a painful death by brain aneurysm. Richard tries to kill Liu, but he only manages to shoot him in the shoulder. Even though Liu is unarmed, he tells Richard that if he kills Isabel, then he will have all the time he needs to kill him. After managing to defeat Richard's personal henchmen, Liu enters his office and finds him holding Isabel as gunpoint. Liu arrives at the police station where Richard is holding Isabel hostage and he fights his way through another horde of policemen. Liu manages to get her to the hospital in time and becomes driven to retrieve her daughter. During their escape, Jessica is shot in the chest. However, Richard anticipates this move, and ambushes the duo at the orphanage. Jessica manages to get the tape, so Liu and Jessica head to an orphanage where Isabel is kept. Liu decides the tape would provide the best evidence, and sends Jessica to Richard's office to steal the tape. He realizes she can prove his innocence, but she refuses to go without retrieving her daughter, Isabel ( Isabelle Duhauvelle). Liu discovers that Jessica was the second prostitute at the hotel during the night of Mr. While his situation worsens, he meets Jessica, whose daughter was kidnapped by Richard to force her into prostitution. After Liu escapes, he is forced to maintain a low profile. Liu is then forced to flee from a horde of cops and GIGN commandos. However, Richard's men spot them, and the liaison is assassinated. Liu meets with one of them on a ferry and passes him the tape, revealing the truth. However, the liaisons do not believe the story Richard provides. After the events, Chinese liaisons are sent to France to investigate the matter, as Richard makes Liu the primary suspect. Realizing he has been set up, Liu manages to escape from the hotel with a surveillance tape showing Richard shooting Mr. Jessica hides in the bathroom during the commotion. Big and the woman with Liu's police-issued handgun, framing Liu for both murders. Big's life, but Richard enters shortly after, shooting Mr. He then attempts to call for help to save Mr. Overseeing the events from another room, Liu rushes in and subdues the prostitute. After pretending to seduce him, the other prostitute stabs Mr. Big kicks everyone out except for the two women.

While Liu and the rest are watching through the surveillance camera, Mr. Big is introduced to two female prostitutes, one being Jessica Kamen ( Bridget Fonda), an American woman, who he takes back to his room for sex. Richard tricks Liu into believing he is simply providing reconnaissance of a meet involving Mr. He meets Inspector Jean-Pierre Richard ( Tchéky Karyo), a corrupt and violent police detective, at a hotel. Big ( Ric Young), who is involved in heroin smuggling. As with most soundtracks, there is little worth hearing here, and offers very little for the imagination.Liu Siujian ( Jet Li), a Chinese intelligence agent, is sent to Paris to help the French authorities apprehend Chinese mob boss Mr. The negative aspect is that these four promising tracks are all lumped together, and once you sift through those, the album falters and never really regains its footing. Bathgate's tirade draws a thug resemblance to Eminem, and while relying on humorous shock value, it succeeds in entertaining, as does Chino XL's contribution. Slum Village's remix of Daft Punk's "Aerodynamic" pulls the song in a more regulated hip-hop direction, and goes to show that these electronic wizards could easily find a successful career in album production and programming if they ever felt the need. The soundtrack does pick up with offerings from the talented N.E.R.D., whose "Lapdance" should please fans, as it's more programmed nature differs from the altered, more organic sound of the track featured on their In Search Of. Mystikal's offering, "Mystikal Fever," feels less like a rap song and more like an advertisement for his memorable name and gritty rap stylings. Kiss of the Dragon is a mediocre soundtrack that has bulked its lineup with an assortment of dismal and faceless hip-hop groups that offer very little new in the way of music.
