5/24: *face palm*

There's a little concept that's called "story." If none can be found, there's no movie. Apparently, nobody associated with City Dragon had heard of it. Instead, I'm treated to 100 minutes of rapping dialogue, soft porn, and a lot of nothing. Oh, yeah...there's martial arts stuff thrown into the mix, but it's few and far between.

Out of the blue, a bunch of males decide to have a fight with the protagonist, Ray, who can pick up nunchuks that happens to be on the ground and shows off his skill with it for a minute before proceeding to take out everybody. Also, at the end, when Ray has a finale battle with John, the baby is left on the ground, and they proceed to fight while the baby is still laying there.

Often shirtless, Ray can approach a hot-looking female and say the cheesiest pickup lines ever, and she'll sleep with him right away. One of them agrees to marry him, but he cheats on her with his boss many times. She finds out about it and leaves him, but at the end, she's back with him. Why?

While I was reading the opening credits, I happened to notice a name that's mentioned five times in four different ways. "Philthy" Phil Phillips, Philthy Phil, Phil Philips (no, that's not a misspelling), and Philip Phillips. Also, MC Kung Fu and Stan Derain, which appears four times, are one and the same. Maybe I'm stupid, but why his name twice as an "executive producer" and a "producer"? Aren't they the same thing but with more responsibilities?

All in all, I hope never to see anything like City Dragon again.
