Comeuppance Reviews Susan Morgan (Rothrock) has a happy life: she has a career as a successful female boxer, and her husband Sonny (Rudy) is a soccer star who plays for Jakarta. They live in a beautiful house, and they have a maid/friend, Sari (Esperance) who helps them out. But their lives are turned upside down when a gang of three thugs, led by the psychotic Diego (Drago) (his right hand man is Reb, played by Sam Jones) temporarily stash their stolen diamonds in their luggage at random, in order to evade detection, as well as cops, with the intention of picking them up later at their house. They do indeed show up at the Morgan residence, but Sonny claims he doesn't know where the diamonds are. After some unpleasant events, as well as some twists and turns, Susan decides to go after the baddies one by one and deal with them in her own way. Will she survive? And will her husband live to Socc again? We all know Billy Drago plays a bad guy 99% of the time, but here he outdoes himself, putting in an especially creepy, scary and weird performance. As his sidekick, interestingly named Reb, Sam Jones can't really hold a candle to it, but for an excellent Sam Jones baddie performance, check out In Gold We Trust (1991). Also, Cynthia Rothrock puts in one of her most powerful and emotional performances. One of the main problems, however, with Lady Dragon 2, is that it is very repetitive. There are so many scenes of Drago saying "I want the diamonds" and Rothrock saying "No", you can't help but think that maybe the structure of the plot could have gone another way. Considering the movie as a whole could have used some more Martial Arts fights, it would have made sense to have Cynthia fight more goons. But it doesn't quite work that way here.Director David Worth, who in a row directed Soldier's Revenge (1984), Kickboxer (1989), Lady Dragon (1992), Lady Dragon 2, and Chain of Command (1994), allows some interesting touches, such as the fact that Drago's gang wear shiny Jason-style hockey masks, and Sam Jones wears his with sunglasses. He even adds some horror movie-style touches at times to keep things lively, but the aforementioned repetition hurts things. With tighter writing and direction, and maybe a bit more energy and pep, and with less repetition and a shorter running time, Lady Dragon 2 could have been awesome - like a DTV action version of I Spit On Your Grave (1978). Alas, it wasn't to be. And to add insult to injury, there are some very cheesily animated muzzle flashes during the gunplay scenes. You can't help but wish for a little better this time around.We remain huge Rothrock fans, but we wouldn't recommend this one if you're just starting to watch her movies yourself, or want to turn a friend on to her work. For that we'd go with Honor and Glory (1993) or Angel of Fury (1991). If you want to watch this one later on, fine, but we wouldn't start with it.For more insanity, drop by www.comeuppancereviews.com

merklekranz 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

damnedstiff 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.

ersin 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 !!!
