Classic Kung Fu Cinema: The Last Dragon (1985)

One of my favourite films in the 1980s, has to be the cult classic Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985), it was one of the films that inspired me to keep practicing martial arts. I also like the soundtrack, which was under the direction of Gordy, founder of motown records; you can hear the songs in the following clips. First of all, a trailer which features lead actor Taimak.


Shonuff - the villain Shogun, demands Le Roy calls him Master. It turns out the one place he hadn't looked in his training was within, he is the master - then a magical glow appears! This glow is probably alluding to Qi - internal energy that you cultivate in the internal kung fu arts.
