#Sinopsis film city hunter movie
the movie begins with backstory showing her as a young girl, and then before Ryo knows, she's grown into a lovely young woman, which makes his promise to her brother not to seduce her that much harder.
Running Gag: Will Ryo Saeba ever get to eat something?. Pac Man Fever: An extremely minor example, but while Ryo gets knocked into the Street Fighter II arcade machine, the sound effects and music that follow are from the SNES version, which is noticeably different (though more familiar with those who grew up on the SNES version). only for the hungry Ryo to see a chicken drumstick.
Meat-O-Vision: Carrie tries to seduce Ryo by showing her thigh. However, he does show interest in one of the guys. He immediately responds by kicking her away. Not Distracted by the Sexy: One of the ladies attempts to flirt with a henchman. At the end of the fight scene, Ryo compliments Bruce's performance, and Bruce responds in kind (obviously using recycled footage and a dub voice as this was made 20 years after Bruce's death.) Ryo uses Bruce's moves from the film to varying effect. Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the fight scene in the theater, Game of Death is playing on the screen. Kissing Cousins: Averted, Kaori/Carrie's suitor happens to be her cousin she is merely using him to make Ryo jealous. Kingpin in His Gym: We see The Dragon warming up for a bit long before he actually fights. Improbable Aiming Skills: Par for course, he's still the City Hunter. In the backstory, Ryo's best friend made him promise not to touch his sister. Ignored Enamored Underling: Kaori/Carrie. I Know Mortal Kombat: Ryo channels various Street Fighter II characters after he gets knocked into an arcade machine (this is presumably mostly in his head), but eventually wins by channeling Chun Li. the Big Bad's gun is the same giant pistol used by RoboCop. Giant Mook: Ryo takes inspiration from Bruce Lee's fight against Kareem Abdul Jabbar from Game of Death, which happens to be playing in the theater where they're fighting. She's been trained with guns, but her aim drags a bit low. Gag Boobs: One of the two female agents on the cruise. Extreme Sport Excuse Plot: Not the movie itself, but the early scenes in the skatepark. Dual Tonfas: The final duel between Ryo and the Big Bad has them using dual nightsticks, which is effectively the same. Averted with many of the female characters, who get hit on a regular basis by the bad guys.
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Played straight with Kaori towards Ryo."Die Hard" on an X: The main plot takes place on a cruse ship.Denser and Wackier: Many of Jackie Chan's films have comedy in them, but this one takes the zaniness Up to Eleven, with goofy sound effects, gags that would be right at home in a cartoon, and unrealistic effects of attacks (like flying across the room).Death Dealer: The Gambler throws cards and can cut, wound, or maim by kicking them.Death by Cameo: Michael Wong shows up for five seconds as Ryo's old partner who dies in the super-abridged backstory opening before the events of the movie.Dance Battler: Ryo twirls Saeko/Anna around like they're dancing, while firing the gun still holstered to her leg.Colonel Badass: More like Colonel Big Bad, but still.
