Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Comeuppance Reviews 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

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'?)

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!!!!!!!!

rosie125 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.
