Seriously, it's a great movie. You gotta watch it.

Summary: Classic!
Comment: This is hands down, one of the best urban-type movies from the 1980's!! So much so that my brothers, cousins, friends and I still find ourselves making references to various scenes 'til this day. It was like we really lived this movie during our childhood, not to mention practiced some of 'Bruce Leroy's' martial art moves as well. Plus, he is just so handsome and charismatic with his "moves" in the movie, you'll fall in love with him and his character. I love this movie so much, I'm going to surprise my 2 brothers with a copy of this movie for each of them for X-mas this year!:)

Summary: Pay homage to an 80's classic
Comment: I 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.

Summary: Who's the master?

Customer Rating:
Summary: SHO-NUFF
Comment: THIS 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.

Get ready for some seriously big hair. 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
