The title of this French-Canadian film translates to In the Belly of the Dragon, but don't assume that it's just another kung fu epic.

It is the doctor's contention that a person's intelligence can be artificially increased. La Haye proves her right...up to a point, that is. Extremely popular in Canada, Dans le Ventre du Dragon has yet to receive proper distribution in the States.
