lee nicholson (dolemite72) Where do you begin, when describing a movie, like City Dragon?This movie has it all, cool guys, rap music, hot chicks, serious issues and 'bitchin' kung-fu.....City Dragon has all these elements....and more! The hero, Ray (played by the amazingly named M C Kung-Fu) is a rapping romeo of the streets (seriously, 96% of his entire dialogue rhymes) and he hangs out with his two 'homies' Philthy Phil and (pretty fly for a white guy) 'rhymin' Rick (who's a self proclaimed 'wigger')This epic movie opens up, with Latino homeboys trying to carjack Ray, and falling foul to his amazing kung-fu skills (fools!) followed by the three heroes meeting up in a club, free-styling over the ladies they've loved (no joking, these guys constantly brag about the daily rota of girls they do the 'wild thang' with!) Ray spends little time in bedding a cutie (rhyming throughout, of course) and even leaving her a 'rapping' dear Jane letter, the following morning. Immediately afterwards Ray hooks up with a buxom (Shannon Whirry look-a-like) in white Lycra, who, after some more romantic rhyming, reveals an impressive set of 'chesticles' (gotta admire Ray...keeping it multi-cultural)No sooner than this, Ray is rapping on the streets (a lovely ditty called 'Scandalous', that puts all other rap songs to shame) and keeping his eyes on the ladies, whilst Philthy Phil and 'randy' Rick are posing as music producers.....Philthy Phil, could very easily be in the music biz fo' real, when you hear him 'dropppin' rhymes in overtime' to his (haunting) rap ballad 'Night-swim' Still though, our three heroes still have time to meet up in the dojo (and in true Three Muskateers style hand on hand chant) recite their credo for life and love:"One...Two...Three.....Three home-dogs getting' busy.....Knocking boots, we make girls dizzy...Three of us, having a ball.....so many women....we'll have em' all!"Touching stuff, i'm sure you'll agree?But then fate strikes, when Ray meets the love of his life, Tina (replete with psychotic ex-boyfriend baggage) and settles down (can a stud as bad-ass as Ray leave the 'game'.....and will the 'game' let him leave?). If Tina's ex-boyfriend doesn't kill Ray, then Ray's oversexed demanding (female) boss, will!To say anything else, would spoil too much of this great movie (and so far i've only covered the first 13 minutes of this 98 minute masterpiece) For all those, craving the days of Dolemite and The Last Dragon/meets Breakin.....add City Dragon to your collection, it's way better than all the tripe that Hollywood is putting out.....without a doubt.....ray turns it out....he's got the clout.....to knock you out (see, one viewing of this movie, results in a all-day 'rhyme-fest'?)

drtturner I read the reviews for this film and I was considering buying this at the dollar store that carries it, however my mind changed when I found a great alternative on television 1 minute later that I was able to record for FREE. It is called Master Demon (1991) and although it is in Spanish, the acting is so hilariously overdone with dialog that alternates between missing and grunting, you hardly notice what language it is in. While recording portions of this movie, I read your reviews on City Dragon and it is pretty safe to say we are talking two of a kind. Tacky editing, A muscle bound he-man woman dressed in scantily clad leather, villains who appear to be wearing a grotesque version of a Nixon mask, but with no explanation or reference to it, we are suppose to think that it is a real face. One guys karate move was to turn his back and wait a literal 5 seconds for the opponent to karate chop him to the now exposed region. Where did he learn that move ? Again, another laugh out loud so dismal it is actually good film.

smiley-32 City Dragon! I bought this film last year.. and up to now, I haven't seen it! Until I saw it yesterday. I must admit, it's one of those low budget rap, chop socky, kung fu, urban ghetto, romance stuff of a movie! What I find so bad is, why would someone like director 'Philthy' Phil Phillips come up with so much pappy show - where our hero 'raps' when he talks to people, and even so when he flirts with the girls? Where does he get all those acting talents from..?The bad John played by J.Daran.. I don't really see him much of a bad guy.. but I guess with that performance - he was just trying it on.There were so many flaws about this movie that I felt it sucked! The acting was way below par.. Somehow the volume of the movie wasn't really that serious.. and when you think about a martial arts movie.. The storyline has got to be top notch. Solid! This one was too soft.MC Kung Fu may've made his name on there. But I felt he could give his character more depth, rather than be just this 'gigolo' who wears fancy clothes, have muscles like Schwarzenegger and have this 'rockabilly' hair cut.After watching this movie.. I felt this wasn't my kind of movie.. It's a shame that Phil Phillips made only one movie.. Maybe the audience felt this sort of film wasn't really up to their standards. Yes! They would laugh.. But at the end of the day, this is one movie they wouldn't want to pay their money to see..I bought this 'City Dragon' DVD free with another DVD at some secondhand shop.You know what? I sent it back there and got £2.00 for it.Sorry Phil, your movie's awful! 0 out of 10!

Obi_Will_Kenobi How can something this bad be this good!?!?!No budget + Dire acting + Comical fight scenes = City DragonThis film had me and my mates laughing our smelly little socks off for hours! at first i thought it was just the alcohol but on second viewing (in a more sober state) it was even funnier! The star of the show "MC Kung fu" is one of the all time great comic actors but the thing is... He's trying to be serious! He looks like a cross between Sly Stallone and a Michael Jackson's latest attempt at a face. and to top it off he has a hair cut that i'm sure he borrowed from a member of Duran-Duran.MC Kung Fu spends his days starting fights with strangers for reasons such as stepping on his ice cream and ... wait for it ... spilling his Pepsi! Chatting up girls via the medium of rap! with such poetic rhymes such as "Tina, Tina, My African Queena" and "your so sweet even diabetes wouldn't stop me overdosing on you!"He also enjoys wearing fingerless gloves, vests, and suit jackets with some of the biggest shoulder pads you'll ever see on a 32 inch screen!The film was clearly made on a budget of £3.50 but thats the best thing about it. the shaky sets, the "hot new night clubs" with only 3 extras in the background, the fact that they couldn't cast anyone with any acting talent!It is without a doubt the funniest thing I've ever seenSeriously I'm pleading with you RENT IT, BUY IT, BORROW IT, STEAL IT JUST PLEASE WATCH THIS FILM!!!!!!!!
