AMERICAN DRAGONS* (VHS Release USA 1998)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

American Dragons contains some realistic and brutal fight scenes. Overall it’s worth a watch due to good story, acting, and portrayal. It seems to ask for a sequel, but as of 2020 a sequel has not manifested. Not shabby. It’s worth its watch.
