'City Dragon' (1995) – Philthy Phil Phillips.

This enjoyably eccentric Hip-Hop head-knocker features buff, poon-playing pugilist Stan Derain aka 'MC Kung Fu' as the relentlessly rhyming, alpha dog Ray. Ray proves equally adept at dazzling the honey's with his cunning linguistics, or heroically handing bellicose barrio nitwits their asses with dynamite dexterity! City Dragon is some righteously next-level BMG, and 'Bad Movie Genius' of this magnitude comes along all too rarely! Like 'Samurai Cop' & 'Miami Connection, 'City Dragon' is another gnarly example of O.G Kung Fuckshituppery! The almost continuously rhyming dialogue provides inspired comedic continuity, and I honestly can't readily recall seeing anything quite so dementedly dope as 'City Dragon'!

Saccharine Hallmark dramaturgy, scintillating syntax, unexpectedly hot chicks, explosive nun-chuckery, Kentucky Fried Kung Fu, plus a mentalist rooftop climax that can be considered one of the most singularly strange confrontations ever conceived! Check out 'City Dragon' with alacrity, and give your chuckle glands a monstrously rigorous workout! Everyone should watch at least one vanity actioner starring a cocky, super-ripped dude called MC Kung Fu! For all its galloping cheapnis, and prodigious absurdity, 'City Dragon' remains far more watchable fare than any of the dully recycled drivel Netflix/A24/Blumhouse routinely inflict on the world. City Dragon would make a seamless pairing with, William Lee's equally stupendous D.I.Y actioner 'Treasure of The Ninja', since both are clearly made as a loving tribute to the legendary Bruce Lee.
