City Dragon

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!

How amazing are the raps in this film!!! Also I found that Philthy Phil is one hell of a man, not only did he write the songs, appear, edit, produce and direct but I think he did every other job with his video camera. I swear that when they made this film they said, "hey lets go into a charity shop, buy all the clothes, plus a pink frisby. Now lets get all our mates and their mates and put them in front of my video camera. The best parts of this film are how MC Kung fu manages to get into fights with various people who just shout abuse! Every other person starts a fight with him, its hilarious. The guy in the dojo is good who's wearing a mickey mouse club t-shirt, and the way MC Kung fu raps to chat girls up has really helped me with girls, they all think I'm disabled. This film is one of the unintentionally hilarious films I've seen in my life, I don't think I've lost so much bodily fluid crying with laughter. Make more!

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.

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.
