DESCRIPTION
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
