After her new husband receives a fatal shower of .45 caliber rice, a vengeance-seeking widow must learn an ancient fighting technique in order to bring down the bad guys in this amusing bone-cruncher of a film. Five-time world kickboxing champion Cynthia Rothrock may be somewhat inexpressive in the lead role, but whatever she lacks in charisma is more than made up for by her sheer kick-ass athleticism--a trait director-cinematographer David Worth captures admirably. (In true exploitation-fu fashion, every impressive kick or punch is shown a minimum of three times at differing speeds.) Former 1970s action presence Robert Ginty (forever known to Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans as "That Paper Chase Guy") lends an authoritatively stoic hand as a shady ally. Rothrock's final coup de grace to beefcake baddie Richard Norton is guaranteed to inspire a collective sympathetic wince from male viewers. This full-frame DVD includes production notes, cast/crew bios, and the marvelously histrionic original trailer. --Andrew Wright

This one's great but the second one is awesome! May 1, 2007
John T. Ehrhart (Katy, TX USA)
This Lady Dragon movie is fantastic but, I loved the second one better. But in this one, Rothrock goes undercover to get close to a guy who is into bad things and she gets a job as one of his secretaries to find out more about him. She gets injured and is saved by a deaf old man and his son and revive her. She helps them out along the way but when the bad man and his secretary are on to her, they torch the old man's home to put a scare into the woman to get her to fight back....I know that this one is on DVD, but I wish whoever it was that posted it on DVD would post the second one on DVD too because it deserves attention just as much as this one got.
Angry "Lady" Seeks Evil Tycoon September 20, 2003

Lushly photographed in exotic locations, "Lady Dragon" merits
prominent mention in the roll call of Richard Norton-Cynthia Rothrock movies, in particular, and among martial arts films in
general. The two leads demonstrate a combustible chemistry as
screen adversaries that rivals their combined magnetism when they portray allies in movies such as "Rage & Honor" and "China
O'Brien." Direction from David Worth ("Kickboxer"), a former
cinematographer, gives "Dragon" another edge over the hefty number of martial arts movies from the Nineties. Also making the
difference is Norton, who devours his role as an elegant villain
and refines it to a perfect pitch. He's a South Pacific entrepreneur whose reign of terror leads to the death of Rothrock's husband. She vows revenge and infiltrates the ivory
towers of his organization. Nascar dads will be thrown a curve
ball by the two stars' final showdown, but most audiences will relish the gender neutral fight between martial arts experts of
opposite sexes. The bare knuckles brawl, in a decidedly inelegant warehouse, delivers one of the sexiest entanglements on
film and one of the best movie fights ever. This "Lady" packs a
powerful punch!

Lady Dragon is the blueprint that countless martial arts films are built from. The action scenes are incredible and the star, Cynthia Rothrock is a wonder to watch.
