With "The Last Dragon", you can feel the "Rhythm of the Night"! Ha! Ok. Stop! The corniness stops there for me. But not for The Last Dragon made in 1985. Filmed as an homage to the urban popularity of martial arts movies from Asia.
The movie is about a student of Kung Fu, Bruce Leeroy. Leeroy seeks to find the final phase of his training. As we find out, Leeroy is a bit of an abnomilly in his neighorhood. His reputation for being a kung fu master gets him into some trouble along with the consequences of saving the damsel in distress played by Vanity.
I remember watching this on VHS in the late 80s. Back in those days, it did take a few years for a movie to make to VHS. I remember it being bad. Kind of a movie that could be bad enough for a cult following. In a recent conversation with a co-worker, The Last Dragon came up and I had to watch it again. Completely confirmed. Its a bad, but a "guilty pleasure" bad kind of way. For all you 80s kids, its a blast from the past.
