- From Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon is a 1985 martial arts musical film, produced by Rupert Hitzig for Berry Gordy and directed by Michael Schultz. The film was a critical disappointment but a financial success, The Last Dragon is now considered a cult classic. The film stars Taimak, Vanity, Julius Carry, Christopher Murney, and Faith Prince. Choreography was done by Lester Wilson, and Lawrence Leritz. The film was released in theatres by TriStar Pictures on March 22, 1985.
Please don't forget about the actor who played Sho'Nuff - Julius Carry. he passed away in 2008. He made an awesome bad guy.
I AGREE
RIP SHO NUFF
whose da master?
If I remember correctly, he said he'd attack sho'nuff himself.
Naw now dang noone played shonuff like he did
The Last Dragon is legitimately one of the most fun movies ever made.
I agree
I absolutely agree. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and the fight scenes are pretty dope! Taimak kicks ass as Leroy, and Sho'Nuff is one of my favorite villains ever.
"Keep your money. You just get that sucka to the designated place at the designated time and I will gladly designate his ass... FOR DISMEMBERMENT!"
Haha
😂😂😂😂😂
ahh they don't make lines like that any more...... "kiss my converse!!!" XD
and then he quickly closes the suitcase full of money
That is a great quote, well played sir.
Who are the knuckle-headed, troll, clowns giving this 'thumbs down?' Two things are obvious. The weren't around in the 80's, and they don't know a classic when they see one.
What he said!
Agreed bro !!
you are now the last dragon, defender of the roundest decade.
WORD!
Sho nuff's crew.
I’m only 25 this is one of my favorite classic movies. I appreciate the stuff my dad took the time to show us the stuff he loved as a kid. This was one of many.
Your dad's got good taste 👌
80s and 90s movies were the best. They don't make them like that anymore.
Just don't let the illuminated ones fool you with their propaganda about defeating the Almighty. The dragon cannot prevail.
Nice, my son and i will react to this movie soon. I grew up training martial arts. Taimak's starting sequence and his style of fighting was inspiring to me!
I felt this
The best black karate movie of all time (1985) #REALTALK
Sovereign45 Woah there. Do not disrespect the greatest martial arts movie ever made. Without Bruce Lee and Enter The Dragon. We would not have Taimak and The Last Dragon.
Still my shit and true
I dare say one of the best martial arts films of all time! Period! 💯
Best martial arts movie- ever! race is irrelevant. Sho’nuff!
The best karate movie of all time .
Here July 2023 & this will forever be one of my favorite movies, I remember watching this movie as a kid(I’m almost 41 now) & I still get excited when Bruce Leroy gets the glow lol. Also the lyrics hit different when you’ve been through some things in life🦋🦋🦋💫💫💫
October 2023, I’ll be 42 in December 😂
R.I.P Leo O'Brien (Richie)
R.I.P Vanity (Laura)
R.I.P Julius Carry (Sho'nuff)
When I saw this movie i said this shit is amazing and I loved it and I have the movie
And Taimak who is my favorite character as Leroy he did an outstanding job in the movie 👍👍👍💪💪💪🥋🥋🥋🐉🐉🐉👊👊👊🥢🥢🥢🍜🍜🍜㊗️㊗️㊗️
You are the last dragon, you possess the power to get laid!
Taimak is trying to get a sequel made, is what I've heard - PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!
R.I.P. to Denise Matthews (VANITY), who played the love interest in the movie, "The Last Dragon".
She was in a movie called Action Jackson. She was hot in that movie as well . . .
steelerj2000 She looked good in all her movies 💎
You suck
Love her dearly but was not happy about her being Leroy's woman lol but I was little at the time lolololol
He was my childhood crush, well one
""There is one place that you have not yet look, and it is there. Only there that you should find the Master."
Alden R. Davis Laura: you sure look like a master to me
Best part of the movie that scene and the song..it tells it all!!
Who's The Master LeRoy ???
@@xkee2013 Leroy: "I Am" "I AM"
#classic😂😂😂
Wish I could go back to the days of me and my brother watching this shit together. Best times of my life.
Me too...same thing bro....classic
Me too with my sister and cousins. For my wedding we had the DeBarge song. I just showed the film to my kids today along with Big Trouble In Little China.
Mannnn I felt that
Just close your eyes brother, and you'll be back there.
Me too. I just lost my brother in June 2023. Yesterday would have been his 52nd birthday. I just want to turn back time so we can be little again.
At 1:39......I usually don't speak for others outside myself but I must say that I know I wasn't the only one who felt the glow all over when that particular part came on in the song lol. I literally got goosebumps and it took me right to the scene when Leroy caught Sho'nuff's fist and said "I Am". MAAAAAAAAN, I'M CLOSE TO LEAVING WORK EARLY TO GO WATCH THAT DAMN MOVIE LOL.
Leroy went Super Saiyan before Goku. Lol
David White true
David White they both did even before Vegeta I think started the Saiyans
Darrion Reed Which means Sho'Nuff was the first black Vegeta to Leeroy's Goku.
David White bust out laughing!!!!
David White damn i was going to say something like that
OMG, somebody must have had the Holy Spirit when they made this song! Every time I hear this song, I still feel uplifted and resurrected. Close to 30 years ago now. This song is still just as powerful as it was when it came out in 1985! Thank you for posting.
Facts
I agree
I never thought about it like that but you’re absolutely right!
U ever been bullied and fought back with knowledge shout out my akidoe jiu jitsu
And martials friend take down
@@lonniebrand2001 the dragon whips its tail braaaa
Great 80s movie! Awesome characters. Awesome music. A more innocent and colorful time when people weren't so disconnected. Vanity was beautiful.
@@SkyNetGeneral- Dated Prince if i recall not googled it😉
Take life one day at a time
That's what a wise man said to me.
He said, "Life, in all it's complexity
Is the ultimate test for you and me."
When you walk holding your head up high
For the masters watching you from the sky
I know not what trouble lies ahead
Before you fight, use your head.
It's time to leave my nest where you were born
This journey you must make alone.
(Spread your wings and fly)
There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength
You'll find in time of need.
(The Glow)
Like the seasons, love will come and go
If it's right, you'll automatically know.
The world of mystery exists only in your head.
When you become one with yourself
The wall will fall
The journey now before you is the final test
You've learned your lesson well.
(I can teach you no more)
There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength
You'll find in time of need.
(The Glow)
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
You are the Last Dragon
You possess the power of the Glow
❤️
🙏🏾❤️
Savage ....thank you 🙏
Thanks for this! Also, I hate to be that guy but the correct lyric is "the *wall of mystery* exists only in your head." 'Wall of mystery' is a direct quote from the movie, from Leroy's master. ;)
@@hocuspocus7603 your welcome : ) i didnt type it out its a direct lyrics sheet from google so idk how right it is lol
This is one of the great underrated 80s songs.
I simply love this song. It takes me back to a more beautiful and pure time when the world made sense. Right was right. Wrong was wrong. God, please let me go home to that place.
This is my THEME SONG. Forever. Thank You "The Last Dragon".
Glad to see I'm not the only weirdo who appreciate this song...Every Black SuperHero needs his own theme music lol
+SEAN FAME why you look more like a rapper than a fighter .........I got something real in theses hands for you!
HAHAHA! TRU-TH!
+FGAlele LOL i workout to this. the 80's had great soundtrack music that are brilliant for exercise. everything from lost boys, footloose, scarface, ghostbusters and this are perfect to sync to your ipod
Before 2019 ends. We still listening.
They told Dwight David he couldn't structure a song by doing 4 minutes of verses back-to-back followed by nonstop chorus for the next 3 and a half.
But Dwight David looked them in the eye defiantly and said, "Watch me."
Dwight David was the master.
Dwight David replied " I AMMMM"
im 15, was introduced this movie by my dad at the time, i was 11 or 12, He showed me this movie because I am black and wanted to be like bruce lee, so he called me bruce leroy and I didnt know what he meant so he showed me this, and has been inspirational to my martial arts career even till this day. Sadly I cant see my dad anymore but I greatly thank him for showing me the movie that personally relates to me and make me feel better.
Sorry for your loss. He sounds like a cool dad.
Your dad sounds like he's a cool guy. The Last Dragon is an absolute BLAST. I found it when I was...I wanna say about your age, and I'm 23 now. Still one of my favorite martial arts movies ever.
Who’s still listening to this in 2023? 🙋🏾♀️
Me. 2024. One of my favorite movies growing up.
Shits a foundations for me. They need to make more movies like this.
Catches bullets with his teeth? Niggah please!!!
still the best movie
lol
One of my favorite movies of the 80's hands down!
That line will never get old lmao
Right after I saw this movie, I asked my Taekwondo instructor when he was going to teach us how to catch bullets in our teeth. He said, "Right after someone teaches me." Ah, the 80s.
loved this movie as a kid, and still love it. This never gets old and this song is one of the main ones I listen to while at the gym.
InfernoMaster. A true fucking classic
Me too!! This and ROCK IV are my kettlebell, battle rope and push up jams.
Ha! Me too! I guess great minds think alike 😉
@@joshjoyner3677 The last Dragon is so sentimental to me cause my late father took me to see this movie in Columbus Georgia while I was visiting my late grandparents miss u so much and love you pops
Best part of this track is that you hear it at the beginning when he's training, like holy shit it's big time pump up music. And you don't hear it again until that climactic fight scene, when LeRoy is forced to confront the one fighter he didn't want to fight, realizing that to become -THE- master, you have to face your fears. Powerful.
When I found this on DVD, I went BANANAS in Wal-Mart, dropped everything and went home and watched in 5 times in a row. If I find it on Blu-Ray who knows what will happen.
Joseph Ferguson, you would probably shit yourself with glee and catch the vapors.
Best Buy is waiting for you my friend.
:-)
found this movie in the pawn shop. and lost my shit. first time I saw this movie I was seven years old . and fell in love with this movie ever since.
Joseph Ferguson I felt the same way!! Fans for life👍🏾👊🏾
This song is a metaphorical expression of ones daily life and can be applied in every walk of life. The message is very profound as well as the movies message. People should take heed!
This song is about being the last dragon and possessing the power of the glow.
Confidence and integrity
It ain't that deep man
Who the hell gives this a thumbs down !? Planet earth doesnt need people who cant appreciate this epic track from an epic movie!
Perhaps they did not possess the power of the glow, but the power of the dildo...
They need cool water.
Eddie Arcadia
@@Juicelee777ssj LMAOOOOO
I KNOW, RIGHT !? Who the hell are these rotten people who would dislike great music, anyways 🙄 !? WTF 🙄 !?
please for the love of God do not try to remake this movie. some things should just be left alone. Hollywood always wants to remake good movies and think they can do better. why not take a movie that wasn't that good and try to remake it for the better instead of ruining classics?
Lat3registration 85 I would go insane if they ruined this movie
tweech2000000 Same here. Abso-freakin-lutely I would go nuts!
If they did, everyone would need to find the studio that produced it, and burn it down lmao.
You didn't knew..? They are busy with a remake of this movie starring Samuel L Jackson....
I'm not for sure if they are, but booker t from wrestling would be the best choice for shonuff
I LOVE this movie, in EVERY phase of my life. As a child, as a teen, as a young man and now as a middle aged man. This movie was light, but had some serious themes underneath, great cast, but it was the Shogun of Harlem who made this movie. The villain makes the hero! "Who AM I?!"
Man .. to see Terrance Crawford warm up to this song before the match with Errol Spence , hit different !! I wanna hit the gym so bad .
I'm glad I was born in the wonderful 80's, good movies, good music, whenever music like this plays in the movie, you KNOW it's gonna be epic!
When i seen Terrence Crawford warming up to this before he fought Errol Spense I already knew he was about to put on a clinic!
In poor neighborhoods here in Brazil in São Paulo, this film was very successful. We identified with the protagonist! Leroy is the best! Great movie!
Se ainda não adquiriu o "Glow", boa sorte, Eduardo! o/
Essa música é bem inspiradora, não?
Escutando ela agora, tbm cheguei a arrepiar lembrando da luta final do filme.
QUEM É O MESTRE LEROY ?
whenever I feel stuck in life this song immediately pops into my head.
Take life one daaaaay at a time~
That's what a wise man said to me.
Someday i'll get a glow, I won't stop working hard at it.
RIP Julius Carry
I still get goosebumps when Leroy gets the golden glow and his body glows "I am" then he goes straight matrix with his arms swingin
I remember, as a Kid watching this for the first time on VHS. Best movie I’ve ever seen. Still one of my favorite. I wish they did a Sequel
IKR.
Me too.
Great movie, RIP ShoNuff
Who's the master
@@MrErikhopkins I am
Bruce Lee is a dragon the 1st dragon
@@flyhighsounds He is Enter the dragon.
LAST TIME.. WHO'S THE ONE AND ONLY MASTA??
-I am, I AM.
+Tino Vasquez i see you have arrived as well…
+Tino Vasquez . If you have read the Holy Bible, then you know what it means when a man says I AM. To know , you must start here " Romans 10:9 and John 3:16, in the Holy Bible, To be much more sure of things, NEXT, Read Psalm 103. ONE LOVE.
+Wado Loco good to know.
+Wado Loco Take that shit somewhere else.
FUCK YOU TO
The Best 80's martial arts movie, this movie was very exciting
Snake in Eagle`s Shadow and original Drunken Master, pretty damn good 80`s martial arts films . . .
@steelerj2000 Don't forget Police Story.
Parish Drumgoole a childhood favorite!!! :)
I'm dreading the inevitable remake...(sigh).
Loved it still to this day
I don't care if it sounds corny - I used to train to this music when it first came out - and its STILL amazingly inspirational!
I slayed so many people playing halo to this. Not corny at all.
RIP Denise Matthews
I just found out about her death a few days ago. She died feb 2016 and it's The end of August. Can't believe missed the news about her death toll now
Yeah it's sad, Prince never deserved her.
She had ( party ) issues, to be nice about it . . .
R.I.P.

"You are THE LAST DRAGON, you possessed the power of THE GLOW!"
This movie brings back so many great memories why can't they make movies like this anymore more
The bit where it transitions from explaining the lay of the land to him in the first half of the track to: 'I can teach you no more. There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength you'll find in time of need'
then...
'You are the Last Dragon, you possess the power of the Glow' over and over for nearly half the song... Amazing, amazing song.
My Entrepreneurial Motivational Theme Song right here!
Same here! Rise and grind!
You're awesome man.
Dreighen mines to
omg I was just looking through entrepreneurial stuff to
im 30 .. been watching this movie forever i know every scene word from word ... THIS MOVIE IS THE REASON I TOOK UP KARATE ...LOLZZZ BEEN KICKING ASS SINCE THE 80s ... THANK YOU BRUCE LeRoy

I was watching Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon this past Christmas Day just for memories of my last days in junior high. Much better times for music, movies, and of course television.
The 80's baby. No time period will ever compare. I ever find a time machine and get a one way ticket I'm reliving the 80's all over again!
A time machine you say? hmm. I think I will just relive the 80's too. Childhood.
JustinLodes. I so fucking agree good job
The movie was great but can we acknowledge the composition of this track? The strings, horns and the guitar!
It's so underrated, probably because of the ending where they just repeat "you are the last dragon" but this song is amazing on its own.
Taimak is still FINE at the age of 51!!!!!!!!!! Love this movie!
RIP Vanity....
+Kristy Napier Just found out myself. Damn, what a shame. She was so very beautiful. The Last Dragon and Action Jackson are two of my very favorite movies from the 80's.
no way.. when and how?
d2021 shonuff died of cancer around 2005 Richie died about 7 year's ago don't know how though
Sam Caraballo Jr. shonuff actually died in 2008 and I think Richie died in 2012
Hurts that she's gone.
A great spiritual song.
Son of Knowledge It really is!
Yes it is
Theres nothing spiritual about this song at all. Lol
@@Militantreturns not spiritual indeed but motivational"
@@wallywu5938 i guess
Just watched this on Netflix.
Best movie ever
Never watched the movie but this song is amazing
It's free on UA-cam
Definitely give it a watch. This song combined with the movie is nothing short of epic, and fun, too.
This is the theme you play when you want to just give up. But then something deep inside you tells you YOU ARE THE MASTER......FIND YOUR INNER GOLDEN GLOW
Classic songs never die.
Right on!👍🏿
has to be one of the best theme songs to a movie to date.
When you become one with your self the wall, the wall will fall. The journey now before is the final test, you've learned your lesson well.
Man every time I watch this movie, it zaps me right back to the 80's. It had every element of hotness included....the music, actors, fashion, breakdancing, and Denise !!
First off, I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my house in full earlier this year. And now I'm crying sweet tears of joy 😂.
And all is right in my life.
Thank you Jesus, my prayers have been answered.
Congratulations, man! :D
My favorite song in this film. I love it so much.
Sitting here in the car. I started thinking about this movie in my childhood and thought how I loved it so much. I looked up this song and re found my reason in this life. Thanks lol
I’m 37. When I was a kid, me and my bro would react the fight scenes. Man….simple but awesome times.
Song just brought chill bumps just listening to the intro....the 80's was great time to be alive
Playtime's over boy.
Where are my CONVERSE!?
Nowwww....when I say who's the master, you say... Sho'nuff.
The Shogun is back, and the Shogun is the MASTER!!
I'm going to ask you one more time! WHO IS THE MASTERRRRR?
I. Am. I. Am the master.....
3:56 YOU ARE THE LAST DRAGON. YOU POSSESS THE POWER OF THE GLOW!
Watched this movie when i was a kid. Now im almost 34 and this is still very inspirational song. Makes me want to do martial arts all the time.
Saw this movie on HBO Max yesterday night with my brother. I just had to come here and listen to this. I was only 2 when this movie was released, in 1985.
There is only 1 place that you have not looked...and it is there only there that you will find the master
when he shoves his head in the barrel!
lol thats hilarious
Matthew Powell Best part of the whole movie. WHOSE THE MASTA? I am. I... Am.
"You sure look like a master to me"
What I would give to have a woman as beautiful as Vanity to look at me and say, "You sure look like a master to me" R I P DENISE
This movie is a CLASSIC and this song is straight fire shawdy!!!
This song changed my life & made me millions in the stock market..
Inspiration & believing in yourself is all you need.
Anything is possible.
J. L.. The last dragon
Who's listening in 2019...
.80s baby💯
Still kicking just not so hard!
It never ceases to amaze me how many of my childhood films, when I was 7 when this movie was released, came with such splendid and happening tunes!!!!! The 80's is the MASTER THE ULTIMATE GLOW!!!
I always get chills when the music turns down and he goes "It's time to leave the nest...".
This song makes me strong inside. I miss the 80’s. One of my favorite movies.
Wow, this brings back so many memories. “Who’s the master ?” “ I Am.”
Gotta love how it starts off like Genesis music.
Tyler Knox That's EXACTLY what I always say to my brother! Thought I was the only one picking up on that. Must've used the same synth
Cant get enough of the beat before the lyrics dropp
This track was most likely composed on a Yamaha DX07 keyboard, which uses instrumental presets from the YM2I280 sound chip and has since reigned supreme in the world of FM~based music: The succeeding YM2I5I, YM2203, YM24I3, YM2608, YM26I2, and YM3438 sound chips that would come in the years to follow did their best to emulate that we got out of the I983 keyboard, though the latter three chips only ever sounded like this at its core on the Genesis, Megadrive, and Neptune (Super 032X) with GEMS and other relevant sound drivers aimed at recreating the sound of the YM2I280 almost perfectly; usually Tengen (the company who brought us the Genesis port for Ms. Pacman, as well as the Japanese Megadrive version of Marble Madness and the entire RBI Baseball series up to '95) would utilize GEMS the best and got the sound with virtual perfection, I could imagine that it wouldn't be hard making a GEMS Driver Remix of "The Last Dragon" and wishfully some people will work on such a concept over time, it is a track that is worthy of the conversion to YM3438 form without contest. (:
Such a powerfully inspiring song to such an amazing martial arts film. Both are legendary 🙏
The 502 dislikes are members of Shonuffs dojo
Bruce Leroy?
Bruce Leroy? ......that's the only guy between sho and total supremacy. Haha gets me every time
Hahahahahaha!!!!!
total supremacy of their neighborhoods
Best line the movie.
he catches BULLETS WITH HIS TEETH!! PLEASE!!
Who is here because Crawford is the undisputed Champion of the boxing world 🌎
Who?
I dress up like the shogun, and walk up and down Harlem screaming who's the masta!
Lester Benson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
WHO'S the Mastah??? Shonuff...
Are you white? That would make this even more funny. Some white dude walking through Harlem wearing a ShoNuff outfit, yelling that he's the master. Somehow I think he might not survive that experience..
Matt H Shonuff was so awesome why wouldn’t a white guy want to be him? I’m white .
They will shoot you ! Black or white ....lol ...I lived in Harlem bruh don't do it ...
Listening in 2019 homie!! Real True Music never dies
I met taimak, he was so nice and down to earth. I remember watching this movie on HBO in the med 80's and I've watch it every time l, still till this day, love the movie. Bad ass movie. Little Ernie Reyes Jr. Aka tai bad ass little kid in the movie.
"Play time's over boi..."
Hahaha
This is my ultimate guilty pleasure motivational song, I love it!
For those of you who are going through challenges, difficulties, or adversity I pray you will find the Glow.
"There is one place that you have not yet looked and it is there, only there, that you shall find the master."
Every time I listen to it I can feel the Glow
Legendary movie ♥️🙏🏼
I never heard this in its entirety like this!!! Thanx for posting!!! Love this movie!! Classic!! R.I.P Denise Mathews (aka) Vanity!! 🙏
Ahmad Hunter Me Either!!!........ its Great!!! And Great Movie!! RIP Denise Mathews aka Vanity!! RIP Julius J. Carey III aka Sho'nuff!! RIP Leo O' Brien aka Richie!!
We used to watch this movie as kids then go out and start fights 😊
should be a berry Gordons "The Last Dragon " cult /following
watched this in my youth and is still uplifting and a great message to young kids as I was. testament to it, I've never been in trouble, walked away from many fights and now have four wonderful kids that I'm sure will do the same. it was a different and happier time, the eighty! !! a golden age.
I...am..the Master 😏
😂 anybody with me in 2019? 👀
Hi! Still kicking just not so hard!
mark findlay you still the master! ✊🏽

I WAS BOURN IN 1981 IN BRAZIL. I REMEMBER, IT WAS THE FIRST MOVIE THAT I WATCHED IN MY LIFE. BEST BEGINING... ITS EPIC.
Just the entrance of the song sends a tingle of power up your spine the way they bring in the instruments is like u feel that heat coming 🙌🏾 true intense musicianship 😢🔥🔥🔥🔥 you possess the POWER OF THE GLOW what a time to be alive ❤️
Still listening and loving this in 2020.. with the power of the Glow.
