The Last Dragon
The Last Dragon (sometimes listed as Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon) is a 1985 American musical martial arts film directed by Michael Schultz, written by Louis Venosta, and produced by Rupert Hitzig for Berry Gordy. The film stars Taimak, Vanity, Julius Carry, Christopher Murney, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Faith Prince. Choreography was created by Lester Wilson and Lawrence Leritz.
The Last Dragon was released in theaters by Tri-Star Pictures on March 22, 1985. The film was a financial success despite a mixed reception by critics and is considered a cult classic.
In New York City, martial arts student Leroy Green (also known as "Bruce Leeroy") has dreams of becoming a great martial artist like his idol Bruce Lee. His master explains that he has almost reached the final level of martial arts accomplishment, known as "The Last Dragon". Martial artists who reach this final level are said to be able to concentrate such mystical energy into their hands that they begin to glow. Only a true martial arts master would be able to exhibit "The Glow" over his entire body.
Leroy doesn't fully understand and, in possession of a medal supposedly belonging to Bruce Lee, Leroy embarks upon a spiritual journey to find Master Sum Dum Goy, who supposedly has the other half of the medal, and who his master claims can help Leroy unlock the power of "The Glow".
Another martial artist, Sho'nuff (also known as "The Shogun of Harlem"), sees Leroy as the only obstacle to being acknowledged as the true master of martial arts. However, Leroy refuses to fight him when Sho'nuff's gang interrupts a Bruce Lee film screening of Enter the Dragon. A furious Sho'nuff attempts to menace Leroy into accepting his challenge.
Accompanied by his minions Crunch, Beast, and Cyclone, Sho'nuff barges into Leroy's martial arts school. The gang assaults Leroy and Johnny Yu, one of Leroy's students, demanding that Leroy bow before Sho'nuff.
Meanwhile, video-arcade mogul Eddie Arkadian sends his men to kidnap local VJ Laura Charles, owner of the "7th Heaven" studio, where she films a TV series similar to Soul Train. Eddie hopes to get several trashy music videos he has produced, starring his girlfriend Angela Viracco, featured on Laura's show.
The kidnap attempt is thwarted by Leroy, who easily fends off the thugs. He loses his medal during the struggle, which Laura recovers. Later, Leroy witnesses Laura being kidnapped by Arkadian's brutish henchman Rock. A clue left behind reveals that the kidnappers work for Eddie Arkadian Productions.
