The Last Dragon (1985): Awfully Good

So I’m watching RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON and this happens…
Clearly this $100 million Disney movie was just an excuse to introduce younger audiences to the real LAST DRAGON…
The Last Dragon (1985)
Stars: Taimak, Vanity, Julius Carry
On his quest to possess the mystical power of The Glow, a young kung fu master must contend with the self-appointed Shogun of Harlem and a wannabe gangster trying to break in to the music industry.
The first time I watched THE LAST DRAGON I was left absolutely awestruck. I needed to know how such a movie could exist. One that mixed kung fu, blaxpoitation funk culture, and nonstop R&B music. A piece of art that combined cultural/racial stereotypes and expectations in ways that were both offensive and occasionally profound. A movie where martial artists turn in to neon glowsticks when they believe in themselves.

Based on the success of the mega performance at the Asian Culture Carnival on the stage of Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing in May 2019 a worldwide production that featured Andrea Bocelli Eltingville’s father-and-son team of Julius and Frankie Nasso were called upon again to reprise their role as co-directors.
Back then, in addition to Bocelli’s masterful concert, performers from all the countries of Asia performed music, dance and martial arts, as well as other cultural experiences.
