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 protege 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

 The Last Dragon Fan Review December 1, 2008
This is a very good quality movie, but I am a little bias. I grew up watching this movie and hearing quotes from it from my older brothers. It has a fair amount of action and some music that will get stuck in your head by the end. I thought the movie had a good unique personality for an action/music/romance/comedy movie. It is from the '80s so fans of strictly newer movies may not like this because of the music, style, and language in the movie. It is definitely a memorable movie and one that I think everybody should watch at least once even if you're not a big action fan because it has a good mix of a lot of elements. It is one of the only movies that I can watch a lot of times in a short period and not get bored. Get some friends and watch this movie, but just don't take it too seriously though because you will miss out on a lot of good moments in the movie.
Just What I Ordered October 18, 2008

This is one of them classic 80's movies that I felt I needed in my collection. It really captured the era great... I mean, people back in the 1980's used to glow, right?
Seriously, it's a great movie. You gotta watch it.
