What a waste of my time!!!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ray (MC Kung Fu) is a carefree rapping lothario who is also adept at martial arts. He spends his time rhyming everything he says and hanging out with his two "Home Dogs" Rick (Williams) and Philthy (Phillips). When not chatting up the ladies at the local dive, he's getting into fights with people of various ethnicities. His life changes when he meets Tina (Barbour), a "fly honey" of the first order. He gives up his womanizing ways after he falls in love with her. There is a problem, however: Tina's abusive ex-boyfriend John (Haran) isn't prepared to let her out of his iron fist and he wants revenge on Ray. You know he's evil because a. he's white, b. he beats Tina and c. he doesn't even rhyme everything he says. What a chump. As you'll see, John gives new meaning to the term "insanely jealous". Amidst all his many problems, will Ray be "dope" enough to come out on top? City Dragon is really something. Yes, it's shot on video and everything from the acting to the editing and everything in between is incredibly amateurish and incoherent...but that would be missing the point entirely! Philthy Phil Phillips, a multi-talented man, actually made this movie and got it into stores. Sure, the movie isn't technically perfect, but you must see it to believe it. Ray/MC Kung Fu is like some sort of out-of-control cross between Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen and Wordsworth the cat from the old Heathcliff cartoon. And where did they find the guy who plays Rick (the self-described "wigger")? Presumably this isn't the same John Williams who composed the score to Star Wars (1977) Although we're still not entirely sure. With his bug-eyed, super-fast rhyming style and whiteness, he predates Eminem by many years. But where are John Williams' millions of dollars and record deal? Injustice I tell you. Injustice.The clothes are phenomenal. Ray's wardrobe alone is amazing. He mainly wears a barely-existent muscle shirt in his daily life (which he is constantly taking off and doesn't even bother to pick up off the ground after his fights, he must have a closet full of them), but when he really wants to hit the town and look classy, he simply puts an over-sized silver sport coat over his black tank top. And that's just one character.But what's really unusual about City Dragon (besides everything I've just described) is how the plot moves from upbeat rapping and fun to become a family drama which tackles many serious themes: gangs, violence, domestic abuse, family strife, abortion, workplace harassment, blackmail and all manner of racial animus. Not to mention how you shouldn't step on someone's miniature ice cream cone or spill their soda unless you are looking for grievous bodily harm. Why Philthy would think audiences wanted to see MC Kung Fu's domestic and workplace issues remains unclear.The saga of Ray makes for a one-of-a-kind movie. You may love it, you may hate it, but you can't ignore it. Well, you COULD, but you shouldn't. The "home movie" style may grate on some viewers, but the movie is funny and unique. Plus you can usually find it for a dollar or less on DVD. Unfortunately, the alcohol you will probably want to go along with the movie is sold separately.For a movie that makes Cool As Ice (1991) look like A Clockwork Orange (1971) don't hesitate to make yourself an unofficial "Home Dog" and watch City Dragon.for more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

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.

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!

This is possibly the best so-bad-its-good film ever. It doesn't make any sense but that doesn't stop it being an undiscovered classic of the nineties. I give it 10/10 for the terrible acting, hilariously bad outfits sported by MC Kung Fu (where is he now?) and the general porno atmosphere. It actually has a great casio-keyboard-hip-hop soundtrack that would compliment any great party. Highlight scenes include "Philthy" Phil rapping and the actually very unattractive Ray chatting up bimbos in the street. Its shocking that virtually none of the cast have gone on to do anything since. They could've at least done a sequel, it couldn't have been any worse. Look out for it on DVD in a pound shop near you!
