The Last Dragon had everything a kung fu classic should have. As a chlid this was one of my favorite films. Tamiak surpisply never did another movie but it's still a lot of fun. Soon I'll own the DVD. Check this movie out for a good time.

Why have this movie got so long a rating? Probably the most funky martial arts movie ever made. An absolute 80s masterpiece. Full of honour for Bruce Lee and that period as well as containing the spirit of Van Damme and the 80s - and afro-american funk as well as saturday night fever dance movies. This movie definitely got the glow!

In New York City, Leroy Green (Taimak) is given Bruce Lee's medallion by his teacher. He is to seek out the Master to reach the final level. Sho'nuff (Julius J. Carry III),The Shogun of Harlem, is also after the final level and sees Leroy as his only competition. Meanwhile, video arcade king Eddie Arkadian (Chris Murney) is desperate to get his girlfriend Angela Viracco (Faith Prince)'s music on Laura Charles (Vanity)'s show. He threatens her manager JJ (William H. Macy). When she rejects him, he sends his henchmen to kidnap her only to be defeated by Leroy. In the chaos, Leroy loses his medallion and Laura picks it up. Eddie sends former fighter great white hope Rock (Mike Starr).

This is exceedingly stupid and cheesy but it's loads of fun. It's basically a spoof but it undoubtedly loves the old Kung Fu movies. At its core, there is a sweet charm to Leroy. The stereotype switcharoo is hilarious. While the Master reveal has some fun, it should be more to teach him a lesson. If he actually fought his teacher, it might be a lesson on him being his own man. It does run on too long. It struggles to maintain the tension once the comedy runs out of steam. The final fight simply goes on too long.
