TriStar Pictures released The Last Dragon to theaters on March 22, 1985. Michael Schultz directs the film which stars Taimak, Vanity, and Christopher Murney. ‘The Last Dragon’ Synopsis Ever wonder how black people thought about how white people made music and got it played on the air in the eighties? And what if there were a movie that has a killer black sound track and not that “Time After Time” bullshit? And, what if black people pretended to be Asian and the Asians pretended to be black people? And what if Michael Jackson (when he was black and alive) knew Kung Fu and lived in Harlem?  And what if Kung Fu Jackson was able to harness the power of Tron? In 1985 a movie put those questions to rest in the classic movie: Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon…or what I call Glory Part II – who’s the Master now? The film focuses on Bruce Leroy in Harlem. I know when you hear Bruce you automatically think Asian or gay then they tack on Leroy so you know he is black (who would have thought Motown would be racists). Hollywood made Bruce Leroy an Easter Oreo.  Bruce Leroy is told by his Miyagi that he needs to find the Master in order to obtain to glow. The glow is an electric aura that manifests itself around the body letting spectators know that you are a master. Now white people are saying this is the force – but remember this is way before Samuel L. Jackson took up a lightsaber – so blacks at this time can only let their soul glow – style over substance.   (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Please let us know what you think of the film in the comments section, and rate this movie from one to five stars below as well.
