Southern Dragon Style in Popular Culture
- Dragon is one of the 3 fighting styles utilized by the character Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat series (as seen in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Mortal Kombat: Deception) and the character Jarek in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. It is also Liu Kang's grapple style in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Onaga, the boss character of Mortal Kombat: Deception, also uses a fighting style named Dragon. However, this is not the true Dragon style (as used by Sub-Zero), but is simply named as such due to Onaga being an actual dragon.
- The Dragon fighting style is used at times by the police officer, Lei Wulong, in Tekken.
These are all examples of Beilóngquan - rather than the aforementioned Southern Dragon (Lung Ying).
Jackie Chan and Khalid uses the Southern Dragon Style in the movie Dragon Fist.
