- Russell CrafterDecember 18, 2024Definitely a classic film
- RichyE7h agon the neon-lit streets of New York City, Leroy Green (Taimak), a humble martial artist, embarks on a quest to achieve the final level of mastery known as The Glow. Along the way, he must face off against Sho’nuff, the self-proclaimed Shogun of Harlem, and rescue pop singer Laura Charles (Vanity) from the clutches of a deranged music promoter. 🎶 Highlights Iconic Villain: Sho’nuff (Julius Carry) is one of the most flamboyant and quotable villains in 80s cinema. His swagger and style are legendary. Motown Magic: Produced by Berry Gordy, the film is infused with a killer soundtrack and musical energy that elevates every scene. Martial Arts Meets Funk: The fight choreography is stylized and fun, blending kung fu with comic-book flair. The Glow: A metaphysical martial arts concept that becomes a visual metaphor for inner strength and self-belief. ⚖️ Verdict The Last Dragon is a one-of-a-kind cult gem that mixes martial arts philosophy with Motown soul and 80s excess. It’s cheesy, over-the-top, and absolutely unforgettable. Whether you're here for the fights, the music, or the Glow, this film delivers pure entertainment.
- tlhintoqJune 3, 2025You have to watch it through the lens of 1985, the era of 'chop saki' martials art movies at the theaters on Saturday mornings, and that this movie is deliberatly taking the mickey out of those films. Its not trying to be a serious low-budget Bruce Lee movie - its just trying to be a fun poke nod to the genre. It does what it set out to do, very well. It **entertains** the audience which is so much more than most of the 2020+ movies do.
