LEGEND OF THE WHITE DRAGON: The Long-Awaited Martial Arts Actioner Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Jason David Frank Sets Release for August from Well Go USA!
With the passing of martial arts/action cinema legend Chuck Norris just over a week ago, we’d be hard pressed not to remember other martial arts legends that passed away in recent years. One such prolific individual was Jason David Frank who rose to fanboy stardom with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Frank tragically passed away a few years ago but before he did, he finished his last passion project which takes its cues from the Power Rangers, The Guyver and more while forging its own destiny at the same time.
The film is called Legend of the White Dragon, and it has been in post-production for a few years now, but the wait is almost over for hardcore fans as Well Go USA has acquired the pic and is readying an August theatrical run for the film which promises extreme and legit fight action like no other.
Check out the official press releasee below!
Leading international and indie film distributor Well Go USA Entertainment has acquired North American rights to LEGEND OF THE WHITE DRAGON, the superhero action film starring Jason David Frank in his final film performance, directed by Aaron Schoenke and Sean Schoenke.
Aaron Schoenke of Bat in the Sun Productions co-directed, co-wrote, and also appears in the film alongside star Jason David Frank (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”). Sean Schoenke co-directed the film. The cast also includes Rachele Brooke Smith (Center Stage: Turn It Up), Jenna Frank, Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor (The Babysitter), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), along with David Ramsey (“Arrow”) and Mark Dacascos (John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum). LEGEND OF THE WHITE DRAGON will arrive in select theaters on National Power Rangers Day, August 28, 2026.
LEGEND OF THE WHITE DRAGON follows Erik Reed, a former hero forced into hiding after a devastating battle destroys part of his city and exposes his identity. Once celebrated as the White Dragon, Erik is now blamed for the destruction and cut off from the life and family he left behind. As corruption spreads through Virtuo City, Erik is drawn back into saving a world that no longer trusts him. He must confront his past and decide whether the White Dragon still belongs in a city that has already judged him, all while facing an enemy who wields the same mysterious energy that once defined him.
“Legend of the White Dragon not only delivers the thrilling sci-fi action fans crave, but also celebrates the life and legacy of Jason David Frank, who means so much to so many,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA Entertainment. “It’s truly a privilege to bring such a special film to audiences across North America.”
The film also stars several alumni of the Power Rangers franchise, including Jason Faunt (“Power Rangers: Time Force”), Ciara Hanna (“Power Rangers: Megaforce”), and Cerina Vincent (“Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy”).
