One of the most underrated movies of all times!...

Congratulations, you are the first one on KZfaq to do a full reaction to "The Last Dragon". It's an amazing classic!

RIP Laura Charles aka Vanity Denise Katrina Matthews (January 4, 1959 - February 15, 2016), She was so beautiful...she got out the entertainment industry and became a Christian missionary before her passing away years ago RIP Sho-Nuff Julius John Carry III (March 12, 1952 - August 19, 2008) Excellent performance that wont ever be forgotten and always meme'd RIP Ritchie Leo O'Brien (November 12, 1970 - October 10, 2012) gone too soon

This classic movie was way ahead of its time,doesn't get the credit it deserves.

Saw it in theater, theater was basically a cinder block wall painted white, sound echoed too much, seats were old and broken, floors were sticky, I wore my Purple Rain t-shirt (because Vanity is in TLD and she was a Prince protege) & my neon sneakers, had the biggest bucket of popcorn I ever had in my life, and had the best time of my life! I love this film 💘

Julius Carry (Sho Nuff) wasn't a trained fighter, but he makes you believe he was a master. That final fight was EPIC! Also, that top is bangin.

Used to love this movie as a kid! This, the Golden Child, and Big Trouble in Little China all had me pretending I knew martial arts.

"Chocolate Covered Yellow Peril!" 🤣🤣🤣 I forgot how savage his little brother was. Ahh the jokes you couldn't get away with today.

"This black folks business" 🤣 "We like cornballs over here" 🙏🏿 Endlessly quotable.

This is one of those movies that you cant hold back a few nostalgic tears while watching if you've seen it as a kid and grew up with it...this reaction is EVERYTHING💯🤣💯

Fun fact! You might recognize the yellow jumpsuit with the black stripe from the showdown in kill bill volume 1. Both are callbacks to the Bruce Lee movie The Game of De*th

Have to give Sho'Nuff props. Dude still tried to throw down after seeing Leroy got the Glow. If I was fighting a dude and his arms starting leaving after-images, I'd peace out.

This feels like a rites of passage ceremony lol

I saw this in the movies when it came out. Taimok aka Bruce Leroy, was plastered over every girl's wall during the 80's. And yes, that was Keisha Knight Pulliam playing his little sister. I was cracking up at you saying must be a Terminator outside when the dog was barking lol

"Kiss my Converse." Man this is as quotable a movie as any of them, what a classic.

Vanity looked like a goddess at the end.....Rest in peace Denise

Taimak (Leroy) is quite the martial artist and at 50+ is still in amazing shape. There was so many rumors about a reboot of The Last Dragon, however I doubt that it’ll ever come to fruition. Imo, doesn’t need one. The OG is cheesy but greatness.

Never seen Bruce Lee? I think a reaction to "Enter the Dragon" needs to happen soon

Alanda, your review of The Last Dragon, a classic 80’s film, sets you apart from all other reactors! The look of enjoyment on your face as you watch the movie is all of us who grew up around this movie. As usual, you’re awesome! 🙏🏿

I've seen this a hundred times. I really wish films would take gambles like this. Kung fu , motown and Warriors mixed together with comedy. Also RIP Vanity

Sho nuff was the baddest villain, in movie history. I love this movie 🎥 seen this so many times. Rest in peace to Julius Curry( Sho Nuff) & Laura Charles ( Vanity) #ClassicFilm

This was on cable a lot when I was little. I'd stop whatever else I was doing and plant myself in front of the tv

I know a lot of people know this movie - the other day I was doing Tai Chi in a park, and a woman passing by goes, “HE’S GOT THAT GLOW, HAHAHAHA”, and I don’t think I was actually glowing :)

As a kid, my friends and I loved to quote "Who's the Master? Sho Nuff!" - I also love the lyrics to the song at the climax: - Take life one day at a time That's what a wise man said to me. He said, "Life, in all it's complexity Is the ultimate test for you and me." - When you walk holding your head up high For the masters watching you from the sky I know not what trouble lies ahead Before you fight, use your head. - It's time to leave my nest where you were born This journey you must make alone. (Spread your wings and fly) There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength You'll find in time of need. (The Glow) - Like the seasons, love will come and go If it's right, you'll automatically know. The world of mystery exists only in your head. When you become one with yourself The wall will fall - The journey now before you is the final test You've learned your lesson well. (I can teach you no more) There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength You'll find in time of need. (The Glow) - You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow You are the Last Dragon You posess the power of the Glow

This was the best reaction yet. Saw this in the theatre as a kid. It was a 10 then and it's still a 10 now. And not only was that little Rudy but Theo's boy Cockroach is the kid in the Green's pizza shop.

The best part of the movie was seeing Vanity; she's so gorgeous.

One of my cable favorites growing up! Sho'nuff is one of my favorite movie villains!

One of my favorite B movies. Awesome soundtrack, and they did a White Party decades before P-Diddy did it. Sadly several members of the cast are no longer with us... R. I. P. Leo O'Brien who played little brother Richie, Julius Carry who played Sho'nuff, and Vanity who played love interest Laura.

I actually saw this in theaters as a child. Those 80s styles were the norm for me.

The delight I got from you saying, "He has the Glow!" cannot be overstated.

I have always loved this movie. I enjoyed watching your reaction to it. I can't seem to show this movie to anyone without them thinking I'm crazy. Just the bits of the movie I saw here made me happy. I need to find it on a DVD somewhere.

Her: "Why is the little boy gagged?" Me: Have you not listened to his smart mouth? Who wouldn't gag him?

"Bet ya wish ya had it like Leroy" "You lucky to be here. This black folks' business" This video is so quotable!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great reaction. I remember watching this in the theaters. One of my favorite movies of all time. "Who's the master!? Shonuff! The Shogun of Harlem! " Classic!

this was one of my favorite movies growing up. when it came on local tv in New Jersey i would NEVER change the channel. it was produced and directed by Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records. this is his first and only film. its pure gold...

CLASSIC! There I say, CLASSIC! Alanda has unlocked the glow with this reaction. SHO’ NUFF. #KissMyConverse

You have quickly become one of my favorite reviewers. I was so glad that you were the first to review one of my all-time favorite movies. I saw this dozens of times, when I was a kid. The Berry Gordy soundtrack was amazing. Taimak was so badass, in this role. Vanity was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Sho-Nuff was so over the top. I loved everything about this movie AND your review. This made my weekend.

R,I,P.. Vanity - Laura Charles -- Julius Carry -Sho'nuff -- Leo O'Brien - Richie Green and any others also :):)

I love your energy and witty comments. You enthusiasm is infectious. Great reaction!

The actor that played Sho'Nuff was the co-star of the 90's Fox western/sci-fi/comedy series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. It is a treasure to watch him act in it.

Amazing enough. Taimak aka "Leroy" looks damn near EXACTLY the same today and believe he's in his 60's.

Alanda’s enthusiasm is completely infectious. 😊

This movie was my favorite movie of all time as a kid and still inspires me to be a better person to this day! Thanks for this reaction! Its so much fun to see you enjoy it!

Great reaction. One of my favorite movies of all time. Soundtrack was banging. Sho nuff is all time classic movie villain. He was mirror opposite of Bruce Leroy. He embrace violence of the art. Leroy embrace the non violence path.

Another great reaction. The joy you show while watching The Last Dragon was fantastic. Keep enjoying the movies.

Not enough people have seen this movie! This is my sister and I’s favorite movie. We went through so many vhs tapes and later dvd’s, it’s the best. I knew you’d love this one as soon as I saw it in your list. RIP Vanity.

Nice! Lol my mom and dad told me that I saw this movie at three and it was my favorite movie. I watched it countless times. It's still one of my favorites till this day. And that soundtrack! Sooooo GOOD especially the main theme. You are the Last Dragon you possess the power of the GLOW!

This movie has so much heart and soul, with a perfect amount of camp. It's an absolute joy to watch and everyone should sit down with it when they get an opportunity.

I'm glad you chose to react to this and got such a kick out of it. Your commentary was an A+ for humor. It may be underrated but it's one of my favorite movies 80s movies.

I love the eyebrow raise when you caught your first glimpse at Leroy.

This brings back memories of me and the cousins in the middle of the living room floor playing "Who's The Master". Basically a game of make em call quits. And also you should do a Bruce Lee movie!

I was a kid in the 80's when this movie came out and I instantly fell in love with it. It's a fun movie. Has some cheezy parts, but still a fun film. :) Glad you got the chance to see it.

Funny she said Angela’s daddy from Boy meets world....cause when the show actually aired on abc i use to watch this on cable all the time and I said the same thing in reverse “Angela’s dad is Sho’nuff, from the last Dragon” lol

Alanda: HE HAS THE GLOW?! ShoNuff: Play times over, BOY! Alanda: awww damn!

Love love love this reaction. Vanity, the lead female in the movie, was Prince’s ex-girlfriend. She was also a singer in her own right. Taimak, who played Bruce Leroy, has a book out which is quite a good read.

That's been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid. I grew up watching The Last Dragon. I would watch it so often when I was a child the soundtrack would be playing in my head all day while I was at school. It's one of those movies I never get tired watching

*I love ALL your reactions but this hit different for me! I grew up in the NY Martial Arts scene and for African Americans this was the biggest movie because in all Martial Arts movies we were either killed off or made to be Sambo's. Some of the greatest Martial Artist were/are Black and we still don't get recognition (ex: Steve Muhammad, Fredia "The Cheetah" Gibbs). Taimak (Bruce Lee Roy) was one of the nicest people in Martial Arts I've met and his Dad is a legendary Martial Artist as well. Nowadays most of the African American MA community reside in Sunny LA. This movie brings tears to my eyes because we had representation but also seeing it now is sad because Vanity (Laura Charles) is dead and so is Sho' Nuff*

That little kid is Ernie Reyes Jr. he had a tv show in the 80s and appears in several movies like Red Sonja and more recently The Rundown

You've Become My Favorite Reaction Channel i love your commentary & i love that you enjoyed this Movie. One of my All-time Favorite Movies as a Kid. I'm so Glad you loved it. This was a Movie i made Sure All My Younger Siblings & Cousins Watched When They were old enough to sit still & enjoy it.😂 IT'S a must in my Household that you know about "The Last Dragon" & Vanity aka Laura Charles is still My #1 Crush 😍 R.i.P To Her.

Not the "light-skinned babies" 🤣 Also, there's a scene in Sorry to Bother You in which Tessa Thompson reads the script of this movie as performance art... hilarious.

Yeah, Angela is like my third favorite character in this movie. She roasted Eddie like a 10 hour Thanksgiving Turkey.

Every 80's baby grew up watching this cult-classic. 😎

Can't imagine how many times I saw this movie over and over again as a kid on VCR. The final fight with that song is the signature of this move. Awesome!

So glad you reacted to The Last Dragon. One of my favorite movies of all time!!!

I am so glad that somebody has finally reacted to this wonderful movie. This movie is in the top 10 best movies of all time IMO. 1st: Yes that was a young Rudy Huxtable, 2nd: The little boy martial artist was Ernie Reyes Jr. He was the actor/martial artist inside the Donatello costume for the first TMNT and he was the pizza delivery guy in TMNT 2. Additionally, he was in the movie Surf Ninjas with his father Ernie Reyes Sr. 3rd: Laura Charles was played by actress/musician Vanity. R.I.P.

I saw this when I was little in the movie theater with my dad we went to see Baby secret of the lost legand and my Dad snuck us into Last Dragon lmao its still one of my favorites!!!! SHO NUFF!

Yes!! One THE best movies of the 80's!! Just imagine a Saturday afternoon in 1985, being 14, and all of your favorite things in one movie!! Martial Arts, Hip Hop, Bruce Lee!! A great story all around!! When we left the theatre we felt invincible!!❤❤ For real though... You need to do Enter the Dragon!! You must complete the cycle!!

My family loves this movie so much, that we watch it every Christmas.

It's awesome you got around to this. I haven't seen is really since it came out, but your reactions are priceless. Leroy's jumpsuit was one that Bruce Lee wore that Tarintino based the Bride's jumpsuit on. I like the Terminator call back with the barking dog. What a great time!

If you watch the music video to "dangerous" by Busta rhymes, he dresses up as sho nuff and pulls it off very well :). Classic movie from my childhood

I....LOVE....Sho Nuff! His over the top, scenery chewing persona, was just so fantastic, from start to finish. To this DAY, I will still respond to any question that someone says, that starts with "Am I something something something?" with "SHO NUFF!" Usually to their utter confusion, but I don't do it for them! Long live the Shogun of Harlem! SHO NUFF!

I've been watching this movie almost every year since I was a little girl, and it's still gets me hyped. The soundtrack is also excellent, have the whole thing on my playlists. Loved your reaction.

Yaaaaas!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😝 This was my fav movie when I was a kid.I saw it in the theater and the way the theater erupted when Leroy said “I am”...good times!! And if you get a chance there is a remake of the theme song The Glow done by Victoria Monet that was in season 3 of Insecure that stays in rotation on my feel good playlist.

This was the best reaction video I've ever watched. I've seen this movie dozens of times, watched it on the big screen when it first came out. This made me feel like I was seeing it for the very first time!

I love this reaction, made my day, thank you. That was Rudy, the fighting kid is Ernie Reyes jr, the legend, this was his first film. It was also Taimak's first acting role

Just Directa your feetza to Daddy Green's Pizza. Such a great movie. And just look how young Ernie Reyes Jr. was.

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME 😄🔥

I was a teen the first time I saw this movie, fell in love with it the first time I saw it. The only complaint I have about it is that it's not as popular as it should be. Absolutely still love it to this day.

I love this movie! I remembered seeing this when I was younger with my Grandparents almost every weekend nights. As I gotten older was pleased to have a movie night with my Son's who actually fell in love with this movie aswell! Pure classic

Ah the 80’s. I’ve seen that movie about 100 times. Loved it when I was a kid

Love this movie! I watched this all the time when I was a kid. It was so hard to come by on video. My family quoted this movie all the time and I still quote it when ever I get the chance. Cult classic to the extreme. I miss the 80s. I played the soundtrack into the ground too (til my Walkman ate the tape).

This movie will never. Get. OLD! Blew my mind as a wide-eyed 5-year old boy back when it first came out and still gives me "glowing" feelings even today:::wink:::wink:::love your reaction to this one, too! Pray a TV series based off of it will finally come into being, heard rumors the last few years but that's about it... >;-)

The way he says "I am" first almost amused by accepting the reality of that fact, then repeating it once more, but assertive and confident always gives me chills.

I saw it in the theatre in Sweden when it was released and I have loved this movie in all its tongue-in-cheek campness and silliness ever since, it's awesome! Sho'nuff!

Oh man I grew up watching this on TV. My face always hurts from laughing and smiling too damned much.

When I was younger & used to watch this damn near everyday, I remember my Mom & Pop was like "what the hell were you doing" when they saw the ceiling of the bathroom was soaked w/ water. The scene where "Mr. Nuff" (🤣) snatches Leroy's head out the water then Leroy gets the glow.... I did that scene over & over in the tub.....hence fvckin up the ceiling. LMAOOOOOO

It's about time someone seen this legendary movie!!!

This was my favorite movie as a child. I can't count how many times I've seen it. I can recite the dialog to this movie. And yes that was Rudy Huxtable as his sister.

Eddy Arcadian taught Harvey Weinstein everything he knew.

I’m so excited to see this as a reaction

I remember skipping school to stay home and watch this movie on HBO. Great movie and I still love it.

One of my FAVORITE MOVIES!!!! So glad you finally watched it ✊🏽

This was the film that got me into DeBarge's Rhythm of the Night!!! And it's sad to think of the sheer amount of actors from this who are dead now!!!!! :(

Very happy you reacted to this! This one of the movies I watch almost every year ever since I was a child.

I have loved this movie since the minute it came out. As a young b-boy who was also learning Kung fu in the 80’s, this was my jam 100%!!! I’m so glad you loved it too. :).

In my country this was a hit on afternoon television. Memes and talks about it happen to this day. This and Big Trouble in Little China were classicss for us in TV. Mostly because it came to us during the mid 90's

I'm impressed that you caught William H. Macy, but did you recognize the limo driver? That's Chazz Palminteri.

The Last Dragon soundtrack was dopeness

I've loved this movie since I first saw it nearly 35 years ago and I enjoy watching it every time. But watching your genuine reactions, which often mirrored my own, made it feel like I was experiencing it for the first time again. Thank you for that.

The moment you paused the video because you heard a dog barking and immediately said "Must be a terminator outside" I knew I'd found my new favorite watch along channel. Fabulous!
