Lady Dragon 2 (1993)

I love this movie so much

Overrated

Don't Believe the Hype

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

If you want to see Billy Drago and Cynthia Rothrock together, then "Lady Dragon 2" is your movie. The action begins immediately, with Drago and his gang stealing a valuable bag of diamonds from the "Mob". Hiding the diamonds in Rothrock's baggage, the gang follows her and her husband to Jakarta. When Drago can't get Rothrock's husband to turn over the diamonds, he kills him. The remainder of the film is Rothrock hunting down Drago and his men. A simplistic script does offer a couple of surprises. The whispering Drago is especially menacing in this movie, and his final fight with Rothrock, especially brutal. For an action film, "Lady Dragon 2 " delivers. "Don't worry, I'm going to take real good care of that new widow." (Billy Drago) - MERK

I think this movie might make it as a cult classic if more people knew about it. The reason I say that is because Billy Drago's character Diego is one of the most demented and unintentionally(?) hilarious movie villains I've ever seen.The plot centers around a bunch of diamonds that Diego and his men stole from some mobsters. They plant the goods in a couple's luggage to get them through customs, with the intent of invading their home at night to retrieve them. The couple happen to be a women kick-boxing champion "The Golden Angel"(played by Cynthia Rothrock) and her husband, a soccer superstar named Sonny.Sonny wants to use the diamonds to help "his people" so he plays dumb when Diego comes looking for them. Diego knows better. He gives "soccer man" a career-ending stab in the knee and rapes his wife.Another visit by Diego and his men ends up in a house-trashing, wheelchair-spinning round of soccer-man tormenting which reminded me a bit of a scene from Clockwork Orange. For his refusal to give Diego the diamonds, soccer-man gets a bullet to the head, after which one of Diego's men poses for a picture with his corpse! LOLThe rest of the movie is a cat-and-mouse game as the Golden Angel seeks revenge and Diego continues to torment her for the diamonds.One scene had me laughing long afterward....the Golden Angel hears a noise downstairs and confronts the intruder with her shotgun...only to discover that it's her husband's corpse, which Diego and his sidekick have exhumed and left sitting in his wheelchair for her to find...with maggots crawling on him and a soccer ball in his lap.That scene alone is enough to make this movie worth watching.

I actually don't know the length of this film. It is a very poor one, and the tale of death, rape and revenge by the widow has been told so many times, both in major, and cult movies!... This film has two outstanding elements, though, that make it mandatory viewing for fans of Cynthia Rothrock: herself, playing her character to the hilt, despite she's surrounded by mainly C-grade professionals; and the most violent, well played, well filmed 3 minutes of women karate you possibly can have. Ring action is interspersed with the credit titles, and apparently non-related scenes - however, important to understand the following dramatic events. Therefore, you feel as if the actual ring time is longer than it is, and therefore adding to the strong, powerful scenes of karate - excellently played by sportswoman Cynthia and, no doubt, an Eastern black belt who has never been seen in movies before, or after - at least under that name.

This movie called in USA as Lady Dragon 2 but the real name is Angel of Fury. There was a movie called Angel of Fury in USA so they had to change the movie name to Lady Dragon 2 . In Europe " Angel of Fury " is still the name of this movie .C.Rothrock "Queen of b-kung-fu video movies" had a great performance in this movie. Billy Drago is the bad guy in this movie and he has also a good performance.The story is cliche but the real fans of C.Rothrock will love this movie, like me.Great kicks and punches from C.Rothrock.If you like C.Rothrock you will enjoy this movie .Do not rent this movie if you are looking for serious movie to see !!!
