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.

Full and perfect is,
But now begins; for from this happy day
The old Dragon underground,
In straiter limits bound,
Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
