The Last Dragon Reviews
Vanity: Definitely My Favorite Sin
That's a little quote from Al Pacino from The Devil's Advocate.
Anyway...
This is a hilarious, movie. The Last Dragon is a cult classic. Sure, there are some places where you just roll your eyes at certain unbelievable scenes. Nobody is going to buy a black guy living in the projects is going to be a kung fu expert who idolizes Bruce Lee. But it is still thoroughly enjoyable. I guess "campy" is the most appropriate word for the feel of The Last Dragon. It embraces its silliness.
When I was a kid, I always rooted for Sho'Nuff at the end. I guess because I felt Leroy becoming "The Master" and getting Vanity in the end was simply too much good fortune for any one guy.
Vanity is visually stunning, as usual. This was her first movie role after the "no budget, only 5 people have seen this" Tanya's Island and Terror Train. In these two films, she went under the name D.D. Winters. Now she is a minister, and I'm glad she has found solace and happiness in harmless worship rather than harmful drugs and empty sex.
Taimak is very cute and likeable as our kung fu, Bruce Lee loving virgin who wants Vanity's Laura Charles to teach him some moves (not the fighting kind). I always thought he looked like a Jackson. Too bad he was never in another movie. The only other thing I've seen Taimak in was the now defunct MTV show Singled Out, where he was looking for a date.
Cult Classic!
Who's the prettiest? Who's the badest mofo low-down this town? "Sho-Nuff!" Lines like this and memorable charactors that put this funk, kung-fu, cult classic on the list of Best "B" movies of all time is worth any purchase! It's funny, fun, and will entertain you for the hour and a half that it runs. Great when you Bar-B-Q and friends are over talking, when all of a sudden you notice they are slowly creeping over to the couch to catch a seen with Vanity 6, or to utter the words, "Bruce Leroy?"...Enjoy!
