Plot: The TV prints of this entertaining melange whittled down the film's original self-serving title (Motown king Berry Gordy was the producer), and settled on merely The Last Dragon. Taimak stars as an African American martial-arts whiz, so devoted to his hobby that he dresses and behaves in what he thinks is true Chinese fashion. Taimak falls in love with sexy veejay Vanity. Gangsters intrude on both their lives when crook Julius J. Carry III tries to promote his talentless protegee into rock stardom. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A simple word on the film
Added 9/22/2009

I once saw a ninja jump a mutant shark on a motorcycle made of biceps, all while causing a kitten's head to explode from pure awesomeness.
Today, a challenger has stepped to the plate.
This film really brings an army of brilliance to the "Awful Good" film genre. I mean, the bad guy martial arts master is named "Sho Nuff" for pete's sake!

This is in my top three movies. I have watched it a dozen times. My kids do not like it. (They are weird)

I dare you to watch this and not be humming "You are the last dragon..." for the next few days. Look, it is what it is - don't expect a Francois Truffaut film, but expect to be entertained by a B-list film with nice hooks and of-the-era 80's special effects, goofy costumes, and settings. This is one of our guilty pleasures, and we haul it out every so often to get our fix of Bruce Leeroy!

Awesome movie

I fell in love with this movie as kid in the 80's and had to add it to my collection on DVD this time! Ahhh the 80's were a pretty good time for entertainment. We had Prince, Vanity, Shelia E my favorite! Vanity and Shelia E really worked it back then when sexy was classy! Vanity with the Last Dragon and Sheila with Crush Groove!! Two movies you want to keep in your collection. I think all the actors did a superb job in this movie. You know how sometimes you can actually spot a first time actor, that wasn't the case in this movie. Rather they were first time or not they all delivered wonderful believable performances. I think Vanity would have gone on to be an Oscar winning actress if she were still in entertainment. She had such raw talent that would have landed her some major roles. She's a happy go loving evangelist now. Anyway The Last Dragon get 2 thumbs up in a circle back in the 80's and 2 thumbs up and a fist bump in 2009 love this movie still!!!
