The Dragon Inn trilogy revolves around an inn setting across different timeframes, featuring distinct characters with varied agendas. Each film showcases enemies or unwelcome guests entering the inn, prompting the protagonists to defend, fight, or ambush them. Despite fantastical elements like dragons and flying swords, the narratives focus on power dynamics and personal battles rather than typical fantasy tropes, exploring the mental and emotional effects of violence on characters. The inn serves as a haven, safe-house, or battlefield, with its owner often playing a central role in protecting it from harm while pursuing personal motives. Despite different settings and characters, all films end with significant ramifications for the inn, its owners, and the factions involved.

《龙门客栈》三部曲围绕着一个跨越不同时间框架的客栈展开，以不同议程的不同角色为特色。每部电影都展示了敌人或不受欢迎的客人进入旅馆，促使主角为他们辩护、战斗或伏击。尽管有龙和飞剑等奇幻元素，但叙事侧重于权力动态和个人战斗，而不是典型的幻想比喻，探索暴力对角色的心理和情感影响。客栈是一个避风港、安全屋或战场，它的主人在追求个人动机的同时，经常在保护它免受伤害方面发挥核心作用。尽管背景和人物不同，但所有电影的结局都对旅馆、旅馆主人和相关派系产生了重大影响。
