City Dragon

I understand that this was a comedy with martial arts action, but really, where was the good comedy and good martial arts action? I never saw it at all. I did see a ton of horrible acting and forced crappy comedy. The martial arts in the film was almost as impressive as TMNT, but without the fun of the turtles. Everything about this movie made me ashamed that I even considered watching it. I do believe that if I was given the option to watch this film again or have my first born killed in a very torturous way, I'd consider the latter. And I do love my first born very much. This movie may be one of the few films in the world that Michael Bay could do a remake of and it would turn out much better than the first. If stick figures were used to reenact all the action in the film it'd be better. The closest thing to a saving grace in this film is the rapping. That rocked the movie, but did not give it enough to make the thing worth watching.

I would never suggest this film to anyone unless you fully want your eyes to bleed and your ears to explode.

I think the overall production was done well, but a little bit to much rapping liquor store fight scene was the best had legit looking hoodlums.

I'm not exactly the writer/director/producer of this vanity project was going for, but it only makes for a mildly entertaining movie.

He plays the ultimate badboy. He charms the ladies, he can fight, he can rap.......like many in this genre he can do it all.

Our main character immediately beds 2 women but meets the ultimate woman, one who resists his charms for about 48 hours. There is a background story of a violent ex that is willing to get violent to get her back. You would think that is the main plot, but they don't revisit it until the very last moments of the film. In the meantime, our hero gets the ultimate woman pregnant and proposes to her so now he has to get a job(even though he owns a top notch Corvette.) His new boss is a lady who wants a piece of our ultimate hero. This makes for drama.

Throughout the entire film all the main characters talk in rhyme/"rap" to eachother. Funny for 5 minutes of this 90 minute film. Also gangs of people are regularly trying to assault our hero usually for next to no reason, including buying ice cream.

The production is low budget as you would expect, poor camera work, lighting and acting are in abundance. The stunt work is mostly guys circling the hero, stepping up to him and getting dispatched of in one hit. I will admit the hero looks good, but he is one and done with his fights as opposed to the back and fourth you might find elsewhere.

This vanity project has some good-bad film qualities but really isn't a must watch. The baby mamma drama is the meat of the movie and counterbalances the rest of the nonsense plot, bad characters and illogical fight scenes.

So I couldn't tell if this movie was a soft-core porn or just a cheesy action flick for the first 20 minutes*. There are some awesome lines about sugar and cream. Thank goodness MC Kung Fu fell in love and started wooing his woman then we could get to the heart of this movie, the dialogue. Solid Gold. All of MC Kung Fu's guy friends "rap-talk". The women don't say much unless they're getting seduced with a 1992 Camero. Hello hot car. The fight scenes are few and far between, but there are some awesome Segal-esquire moves. Well early Seagalese stuff. MC Kung Fu actually does kicks. If you like bad movies I say you should check it out.

*I actually have no idea how long this took as time ceased to exist during this film.

My friend bought the DVD for this at a 99p store, and I can honestly say it was the best 99p he ever spent. Possibly the funniest film I ever saw, it focuses subtly on all issues- domestic violence, pregnancy, safe sex, mental illness..this film has it all, except a car chase. ps. there is a certain fight scene- a "bruce lee tribute" that everyone should watch. If this is on, and you have a couple of friends, watch it. You will laugh more than ever before.
