I am seeking sparring partner. Any level. Looking for blondes or redhead. 5'2" to 5'9". Between 115-135 weight class. Females between 17-30 only need apply. Will extensively work on grappling.
I had heard here about a year ago that a second movie was in the works. I seem to remember the guy who played Leroy was either posting here, or someone who knew him was posting here about the second movie.
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

it never got filmed in fact tai mak just shot a trailer for a film he wants to turn into a featre i forgot the name but he was talking about it on myspace.
Greetings,
There was an audition for The Last Dragon II that took place in Harlem many years ago. The shock was that a serious flock of no name Brothers swooped down and demonstrated MADD SKILLZ. They had people in the audience going wild. My sister was there with my 2 neices, who wanted to be in the movie. When my sister told me about the event she was totally wide eyed and did not blink once.
doug maverick, check your circles. Certainly there is someone besides myself who knows about this. Oh yeah, Taimak was there, too.
Just a small share.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Samuel L. Jackson is taking on another heavy role.
Having most recently played a dirty cop in "Lakeview Terrace," Jackson is set to star as a bad guy again in a remake of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy's 1985 cult classic "The Last Dragon."
Jackson will play Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a role played in the original by the late Julius Carry, whose spiel included asking ego-driven questions like "Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?" Each time his gang of thugs answered, "Sho'Nuff!"
Columbia Pictures' updated plot will be along the same lines of the original, centring on young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the Last Dragon. Those who achieve the high ranking possess the Glow, making them the greatest fighter alive.
The original, which also starred one-namers Taimak and then-Prince protegee Vanity, was released in March 1985 by TriStar Pictures and received lukewarm reviews. Roger Ebert said it was a "great near-miss."
"Last Dragon" managed to do well at the box office, grossing nearly $26 million. It soon became a cult classic for scenes like Bruce Lee follower Green remaining so loyal to the martial arts star that he eats his popcorn in a movie theatre with chopsticks.
"I'm a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century," said Jackson, who returns to theatres soon alongside the late Bernie Mac in "Soul Men."

In my opinion...the 80's cheese flavour is what made the movie appealing.
What can they do with it now I wonder?
yeah don't know how that would work in this day and age, that was a long time ago. wondeer if they are gonna use taimak who actually still looks the same, even thou he's over forty. and is still just as ripped as he was then.
