    Maaann to the Young kids that don’t know, when The Last Dragon came out it was the same feeling black ppl had when Black Panther was released. I remember being a kid amazed at seeing a black person doing Karate

      What?? He does look aged...look at the scar and definition around his mouth. And biracial people's hair relaxes faster when they age. Just look up Joaquim Cruz, Brazilian 800m champion.

    No matter how many times I've watched The Last Dragon (and I've watched it well over 100 times)......I get chills the moment Shonuff lifts Bruce Leroy's head out of the water the last time. The confident look on Leroy's face, and him saying "I am" after being asked "Who's the master"? Then the music start playing after he catches the fist.....BRO! I absolutely love that movie. My childhood.

    Let's not forget about Wesley Snipes being in the movie.
    You can help put that together.
    I trust you just give me some credit for helping you put together. Lol
    They all don't have to be villains fighting each other, they can all be 3 brothers fighting other martial arts who try to invade their neighbors.
    One can be a teacher another one can be lawyer and one can be in the streets.
    And they all have their own style of fighting.
    They all do well on their own, but when they together they unbeatable, they can take on any threat in society.

    It's crazy that the last dragon is one of the greatest movies ever and I'm not necessarily on board with remakes but that's one movie I would love to see remade. And of course Leroy should reprise his role and be the master who trains the next young guy. But it amazes me that this guy never took off like Jon Claude Van Damme was the martial arts guy of the '80s. personally for me I think this guy was better and I don't understand why he never really blew up after this movie.

    Taimak reminds me of this guy I went to high school with back in Harlem. Pretty boy but wasn’t a martial artist though. Good guy. He had a black dad and a white mom too unlike Taimak whose dad was white and mom was black. Anyway, I saw him on a trip back home 10 years later, after I moved to LA and he told me I lost my NY accent. I say this cuz Taimak still has his NY accent. Sounds a lot like the guy I know too. He’s so New York!
