The Last Dragon – OMRM – ep37 – 1985

Am I the meanest? Am I the prettiest? Am I the baddest mofo low down around this town?

Sho’Nuff!

“The Last Dragon” is a dream of a movie – an absurd martial arts battle between the Shogun of Harlem (Sho Nuff!) and Leroy, a peace-seeking Bruce Lee fanatic in search of “The Glow.” If that’s not enough for you, then add a pop star in need of protection, a sassy little brother, a fortune cookie factory operated by three dance-obsessed stoners, multiple biting incidents, and a little kid sidekick with the best kung fu moves in town. That’s only a few of the amazing things in “The Last Dragon,” a movie you’ll immediately wish you knew by heart.

Tyler and Angela discuss all this, plus the film’s connections to Busta Rhymes and last year’s Boots Riley flick, “Sorry to Bother You.” So get up, Leroy, because we got something real for your ass in this podcast.
