Kiss of the Blue Dragon (2004)
“When he doubled over, I uppercut my fist into his nose. The impact sent a jolt of pain through my shoulder. When he reeled back, I brought him down with a leaping roundhouse kick to the head.
Mike dropped down from the hatch above and immediately jumped into a dragon pose, ready to strike if the crumpled heap rose once more. “Who is it?”

“No,” the dirty brute said as he struggled to recover his breath.MoreLess
