Year: 1985
Director: Michael Schultz
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

Body: [quote user="SkyPilot"] [quote user="leeroy711"] I wanna see The Last Dragon followed by Circle of Iron as a double feature. Who's with me? I talking to you SkyPilot. [/quote] leeroy711 you are a madman, and I like it! Have you seen Circle of Iron before? How about The Street Fighter? I think The Last Dragon is obvious in its attempt to be funny, while the thing that links The Street Fighter and Circle of Iron is the bafflement one feels about whether or not the movies are trying to be funny. Especially Circle of Iron, which is one WTF moment after another. I laugh at the Ape Man and Jaguar Man because they make me feel like crying. I forget the name of Terry's sidekick in The Street Fighter--I think he's supposed to be funny. His only line seems to be "Terry!" said in different ways, like in the "Malkovich Malkovich" scene in Being John Malkovich. Here's another DOES HE MEAN TO BE FUNNY? double feature starring DAVID CARRADINE: 1. Death Race 2000 -- obviously meant to be comedic, but Carradine is obviously not dwelling in the same dimension of comic timing that we are. FRANKENSTEIN: What were you expecting...another pretty face? 2. Death Sport -- one of the most masochistic pleasure/pain viewing experiences for me. CARRADINE: [fakes a punch to the guard's stomach] Heh heh heh! GUARD: Let's see you laugh after Deathsport. Yeah I'd say I love to hate Carradine's performances, whereas I don't enjoy disliking John Cusack. [/quote] I have seen a bunch of Carradine flick (thanks dad) in my day, I don't remember which were which but I am pretty sure that I've seen Death Sport. I don't recall whether I've seen The Street Fighter though. I think I'll put a Carradine double feature in my netflix queue. - How about The Street Fighter and Sonny Boy. This topic can't help but remind me of the Sonny Chiba double feature in True Romance. EDIT: I don't t think this topic is complete without a reference to Ed and His Dead Mother.

Body: Paul, is there really no love for the Zac Efron? You're going to make the fangirls mad.Their love is true. It is pure. It is beautiful. But the Paul Dano move was brilliant.Is it just me or does a movie like this need Jason Schwartzman to make it complete?

Body: I've waited to recast The Last Dragon myself, since I started this game. But now that a winner is chosen (to be announced on Friday's Filmspotting) I'll weigh in my cast for The Last Dragon remake: Paul Dano - Leroy Green Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical girl) - Laura Charles Alec Baldwin- Eddie Arkadian Chris Tucker - Sho'nuff Kim Basinger - Angela Viracco Martin Lawrence - Richie Green Delroy Lindo - Daddy Green Luis Guzman - Johnny Yu Michelle Yeoh - MasterDirected by Brett RatnerSome may find the selection of Paul Dano to break with the original blaxploitation genre of Dragon. But I thought that if Delroy Lindo could pass off being Dano's father whose white wife had split, it would be an appropriate politically correct update that would be necessary for making this movie today.
