    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    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.

    There was an audition....

    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.

    The Actor Julius Carey III-who created the iconic "Sho nuff" died of Pancreatic Cancer last night-

    If you have seen "The Last Dragon" then you know what an impact this character-and this man-made on us--

    May he rest in peace!!!

    Last Dragon remake?

    Samuel L. Jackson riding "Last Dragon" remake
    Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:59am GMT
    By Leslie Simmons

    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."

    interesting

    In my opinion...the 80's cheese flavour is what made the movie appealing.

    What can they do with it now I wonder?
