Review :
A vintage 1980s kung fu/comedy classic
I have always loved this movie. Sure, it's a little bit kooky, but Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon just about has it all: plenty of kung fu action, comedy, romance, great vintage mid-80s music, a little bit of funk styling, and plenty of tributes to the great Bruce Lee; it is also the only film I know of whose two main characters are known by only one name in real life. I actually saw this film twice in the theatre back in 1985, and I can say that of only a few movies. Taimak plays Leroy Green, better known around the New York streets as Bruce Leroy for his impressive kung fu skills. His pursuit of the martial arts is a search for truth and mastery of self, and he is only one step away from acquiring "the glow," a state of being wherein mind and body are one. His pursuit of a new and final "master" keeps getting sidetracked, however. Sho'nuff (Julius Carry III), a particularly nasty dude who proclaims himself to be the Shogun of Harlem, is constantly provoking...
"Just direct-a your feet-sa to Daddy Green's pizza!"
As a kid growing up in the 1980s, I used to watch this movie all the time on HBO. The Last Dragon is one of those movies you see as a child, and you remember it for years into the future. I don't quite know what it is about this film, but it certainly is memorable. I agree 100% with the other viewer that said movies in the 80's had a certain quality about them that you just don't get anymore.
The Last Dragon is as charasmatic as it comes. Part martial arts beat-em-up, part drama, part comedy, and part romantic love story; the formula sounds like a disaster on paper but The Last Dragon pulls it off nicely in an all-around enjoyable film.
I take the film to also be, at least in part, a social satire as well. The cast of characters includes people from a wide variety of racial/ethnic backgrounds, and the movie itself abounds in stereotypes. However, there is a major dose of role reversal, as the stereotypes are moved around and attached to different groups. Thus, we...
WHO'S THE MASTA?!
SHO'NUFF! THE SHOGUN......OF HARLEM!
This has got to be one of the funniest and cheesiest Kung Fu movies I have ever seen. However, don't let that disuade you from looking into this title. I gaurantee you'll have a blast watching it!
Martial Arts student Leroy Green is on a quest to obtain an elusive power known as 'The Glow'. However, in his search to find the one Kung Fu Master who can teach him this final level of Kung Fu greatness, Leroy must contend with the evil, powerful Shogun of Harlem, known as Sho'Nuff!! Aside from that, Leroy must also rescue a beautiful singer from the clutches of an obsessed record producer, who dreams of his no-talent wife having the spotlight! Now, Leroy has two foes to contend with, as well as strive to obtain The Glow!
It sounds cheesy...but don't let that fool you. This movie, quite surprisingly, is a ton of fun to watch! The action is actually pretty good, with some surprisingly decent special effects toward the end. Julius...
