Dragon Lord (Chinese: 龍少爺) is a 1982 Hong Kong martial arts sports comedy film written, directed by and starring Jackie Chan as Dragon Ho. It was originally supposed to be a sequel to The Young Master and even had the name Young Master in Love until it was changed to Dragon Lord. The film experimented with various elaborate stunt action sequences in a period setting, serving as a transition between Chan's earlier comedy kung fu period films (such as Drunken Master and The Young Master) and his later stunt-oriented modern action films (such as Project A and Police Story). Dragon Lord also featured sports scenes incorporating martial arts stunts, later inspiring Shaolin Soccer.

Dragon (Jackie Chan) tries to send a love note to his girlfriend via a kite but the kite gets away and as he tries to get it back, he finds himself inside the headquarters of a gang of thieves who are planning to steal artifacts from China.

In its original Hong Kong theatrical run, Dragon Lord grossed HK $17,936,344. The film did not make as much as it was expected to in Hong Kong but was a big hit in Japan.

This is the first Jackie Chan film that includes outtakes (bloopers), which was inspired by Jackie Chan
