Scene of the Week: City Dragon

Have you ever watched a movie that was so bad that you could not even finish it? Did you then take that movie, box it up and mail it 2300 miles away before it some how tainted the quality movies in your collection? One such movie for me was 1995’s City Dragon.

Now I knew going in City Dragon was going to be bad. The cover art that looked like something I could create with my limited Photoshop skills. The 3.3 rating on IMDb. The fact that it starred a guy named MC Kung Fu (his government name is Stan Derain).
