The Last Dragon--or, to call it by its full title, Berry Gordy's the Last Dragon--is a stunning example of 1980s camp cinema. One-name kung fu wonder Taimak plays Leroy Green, a.k.a. Bruce Leroy, a humble student of kung fu who has achieved the highest level of skill, but hasn't yet found his inner master. Wandering through the streets of New York in a Chinese peasant outfit, he accidentally becomes the protector of nightclub hostess/video jockey Laura Charles (played by former Prince protégé Vanity, who also costarred in the trash classic Action Jackson). She's being threatened by a height-challenged mobster who wants her to play his girlfriend's video (the girlfriend is something of a Cyndi Lauper look-alike, played by Broadway star Faith Prince). Meanwhile, a man who calls himself Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, wants to kick Leroy's ass and prove himself the baddest kung fu master in town. Add to this Leroy's smart-mouthed brother Richie (who calls Leroy "the chocolate-covered yellow peril"), a dregs-of-Motown soundtrack (DeBarge is a high point), ninja battles, pseudo-Eastern philosophical babble, and a jaw-dropping club performance by Vanity, and you have a hilarious example of why we're all so very glad the '80s are over. Featuring a bit role by William H. Macy (Fargo, Magnolia). --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Pay homage to an 80's classicI loved seeing this movie on HBO when I was younger. Afro kung fu masters, 80's pop icons, and stereotypes everywhere, it's a movie that you just can't help but laugh and enjoy. Don't take it seriously obviously but the fight scenes are somewhat impressive. Overall, if you lke 80's flicks, take this one home. Rating: - Who's the master?Just a great 80's movie and really shows why we had so much fun during the period!! Rating: - SHO-NUFFTHIS IS CHEESY & A BIT OVER THE TOP, BUT I STILL LIKED IT. BRUCE LEROY IS FINE - SHO-NUFF. THIS IS A CLASSIC AND SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK AT OVER AND OVER. Rating: - A feel good classic cult!I love this movie! It's innocent, sweet & funny. The movie is the typical cheesy 80's but that is why it's a cult classic! It still gives the warm fuzzy's at the end of the movie with a smile and that's what entertainment is about. Rating: - Great Movie, Ok DVDI'm glad this movie was released on DVD...finally! Picture quality could have been better, but I'm not complaining as its better than my old worn out VHS copy. This will always remain one of my favorite movies of all time! Browse for similar items by category:
