This is one of those movies that those of us who grew up in the 80's saw over and over and OVER again...usually because HBO kept showing it over and over and OVER again. And we loved it anyway. And we watched it each time we could.
Ah, thinking about HBOs beginning and all the crappy (good ones too) movies we saw 50 times because that’s how often they showed it.
Fact's
How could we not?!!! he catches bullets with his teeth!!! no one else ever ever attempted to an 80s!!!
Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon is one of the perfect 80s time capsule. It doesn't age, it doesn't spoil, its doesn't cringe. If you live through the 80s or are an 80s kid, this is a great nostalgia trip. If you came after the 80s, this movie let's you experience the 80s first hand.
Fact's
I got to meet the lead actor Taimak aka "Bruce Leroy" at Comic Con a few years ago. I didn't even know he was gonna be there cuz he wasn't on the list. I remember walking around and hearing the song "The Glow" and freaked out, I was like a dog hunting for a tennis ball. The guy was 52 years old at the time and looked like he was 30. He is a well respected martial arts master in real life and such a nice guy. He was shocked to see me when he looked up because I'm 6' 7" and 460 pounds so I was a mountain compared to him. He said "when I started to look up from signing an autograph, all Isaw was a shadow rolling in" we had the biggest laugh about it. I looooove this movie with all my heart.
I would have loved to meet Sho' Nuff to have both their autographs but sadly he died of cancer many years ago.
I'm so happy to hear he's doing well after all these years.
I had such a crush on Taimak when I was young.
What's similar about a high speed bike accident and a fight with Bruce Leeroy.
It's always a bad time when you hit the Taimak.
Actually his cause of death was pancreatic cancer. Which is a very nasty cancer to get. I had a coworker that died of it.
@@happyninja42 Yeah I said he died of cancer. Although I wasnt sure which kind he had.
This is my all time favorite movie, the music, the action, Vanity (my first crush) and SHO'NUFF. YES. YES. Don't care what nobody say. Growing up in the projects, i too wanted to be Bruce Leroy.
Sho' nuff played a normal FBI agent on an episode of the x-files.
Strangely enough, this movie was snubbed by the Oscars.
This is my favorite movie also. I loved everything about it.
Absolutely loved this! Emily’s reactions to The Last Dragon are the greatest of all-time! Loved when she said something like “the beauty of Leroy and Laura’s child would break the universe!” 😂 great stuff guys! ✨🤛🏽
A dojo I trained at for a long time, everyone got a nickname from some martial arts movie. As I was several inches taller than everyone, had really crazy hair, and was kinda flamboyant I got to be Sho'Nuff....one of the best martial arts villains ever!
The day I got my driver's license, I took my older brother and his best friend to see this movie and we had an absolute blast!
Kiss my converse... All the words from Sho'nuff is gold
It's probably one of the greatest cultural parody's where you're not supposed to take it seriously but you understand it you got blacks acting more Asian while Asians are acting more urban but it still came on very well. This is 80s NYC as a Native New Yorker and child of the 80s this was happening to a degree.
A few years ago, Taimak actually starred in an Off-Broadway adaptation of "Road House", in the Patrick Swayze role, mullet wig and all. I would have given anything to see that.
One of the most important African-American 80s movies. I saw it in the theaters several times. I am so glad about this reaction. Thank you for this.
The Last Dragon is 80's cheeze but in a glorious way. I saw this as a kid when it first was released on VHS (yeah, I'm old) and watched it a bazillion times. It's just a really fun movie that doesn't take it self too seriously. Some films age really well with time. This one is funny that somehow the more dated it becomes the better it gets because it's dated. I don't know if that makes sense but I still adore this film to no end.
It makes perfect sense. It encapsulates most of the good things about the 80's, which is the reason why its aging like fine wine.
Me and my friend (both of us white) were talking about this movie at work one day and a fellow worker (Black) was absolutely astonished that we both knew of and loved this movie.
II'm a black woman and I'm astonished to. Did not know white people even knew about this movie. This is an African American cult classic!
@@carladavis1473 saw it in the theater 10 times and it was a white neighborhood.
@@English_MoFo thanks for sharing that with me. You learn something new everyday. That movie is a classic to do many African Americans because it's so much of a slice of our life about our neighborhoods and our families, and our friends. All of us could relate. I can point to just about every character and match them with a name of someone i grew up with on my neighborhood and I'm on the east coast. It showed me that we were the same everywhere. But you guys have kind of woke me up a bit. Never thought it would mean anything to anyone not black and from that particular time. Again thanks for sharing that.
This was one of my favorite films growing up as a Harlem kid. The kid that played his little brother (Leo O'Brien) also played in another cheesy favorite called Rappin'. In real life, Leo was the little brother of Master Gee from the Sugarhill Gang. He still lived in Harlem until his untimely death a few years ago. I used to see Taimak around NYC over the years. He was always a cool guy who all the women my age had a crush on.
They had plans to make more ... Taimak Feeling Betrayed by Berry Gordy, Why 'Last Dragon 2' Never Happened (part4)... on YT
They interview Taimak , first movie was $60k paycheck and next one would have been $100k , no percentage from profits .
I need y'all to watch The Wraith. I think Emily will absolutely LOVE it!
I love the soundtrack to that movie and I love that car
"A case of alienation of affections, chocolate covered yellow peril!" The writing in this film was highly underrated.
You said it Emily! How could anyone not love this movie? This is one of my all time favorites. I would watch it every time it came on HBO back in the day. So much fun, no matter how corny.
The amount of times in my life that I have said "Chill out, chopsticks!" is innumerable. Ernie Reyes Jr was lead in the movie Surf Ninjas, which is another cheesy karate movie.
If cheesy means badass, you're totally correct
So many people had a serious case of chop socky justice coming their way.
And Ernie Reyes Jr. was Keno in TMNT II after having been Donatello's fight double in the 1st TMNT.
He also had a bit part in Indiana Jones and the Really Long Title. He played the native with the blowgun that Indy blew back at him.
Never clicked on a TH-cam video so fast in my life. Got to hang out with Taimak a lot in the 80s and 90s. Dude is a great guy. And Vanity was a GODDESS!!! Soundtrack was just 🔥🔥🔥. All in all, it led to a fun film that I watch at minimum twice a year since I got the VHS in 1986. Glad Em loved it.
I went to a special screening of "The Last Dragon" and the Tamek was there! He was thrilled to see a kid eating popcorn with chopsticks in the audience. They also did a special screening of a Vanity music video called "Pretty Mess", where she sings about how they made a pretty mess all over her dress! It was giving me Lewinsky vibes!
I have the song from the last fight scene on my work out playlist. Its really motivating to hear that I'm the last dragon and I possess the power of the glow. The actor who played Sho'nuff, was on the tragically underappreciated show "Adventures of Brisco County Jr" with Bruce Campbell. He also played Angela's dad on Boy Meets World.
Sho'nuff was played by the late Julius J. Carry III.
I use to love that show!
YO...when he showed up on Boy Meets World, I *flipped out.*
I wrote on a previous movie that I couldn’t wait till Emily met Sho’Nuff. Few things in life live up to our expectations but the expression on her face did… not… disappoint. It was sublime.
I had a crush on Vanity growing up as well. Interesting life. She got addicted to drugs, cleaned up and started a church near where I live. Sadly she passed away some years ago.
Now you have to watch They Call Me Bruce.
One of my favorite "B movies" of all time beloved right there with Big Trouble in Little China, and Flash Gordon. This was a true delight to see someone react and fall in love with this hidden gem
I'm so glad Emily liked this movie. I wanted to drink myself into a coma. Vanity was gorgeous, though. May she rest in peace.
Get ready for Bruce Leroy and Sho'nuff, two titans of 80's cinema!
Seriously though, this movie is god damned hilarious.
THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE, Classic
wow, just saw that y'all are reacting to this movie and literally yelled out loud "F....YEAH!!!!" now lookin forward to watching the reaction!
Now, that i've seen the reaction. Not disappointed. It's one of my all time favs since childhood. Devito, would be the perfect Eddie. For some reason I wanna see Idris Alba as ShoNuff. Leroy would be the hardest to cast. Might have to go with a young unknown. same for Richie.
One of my favorite gags from this movie “Master - Some Dumb Guy” 😂🤣
When I was a kid and into my late teens, The Last Dragon was my most favorite movie. I watched it all the time. And my other favorite movie, that is way more cheesy then anything else. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDOR
Though that movie is hard to watch, but if you can make it to the end its almost worth it.
"My father was Mr. 'Nuff. Please, call me Sho' " ...lmfao
I found you guys channel from this video. I love this movie and at the time of looking for some reactions to it. Emily is a gem. It was genuinely more fun watching her watch this movie than I had the last time I watched this movie. I have gone through about half of the first time film club and I enjoy about as many videos as Matt does. What does belong in the Eddie Murphy portion of your list that I didn't see is Harlem Nights. All star cast of comedians and at least as many laughs as Coming to America. This isn't his mainstream as some other movies on the list, but if you have netflix, I would recommend The Call Up and Would you Rather. I think both would be good fadder for the channel.
The scene at the movie theatre is one of my favorite things ever.
This was one of my childhood favorites - saw it 3 times in the theater! 👊🏿
For the longest time, this movie wasn't available on DVD/Blu-Ray or even streaming. That's due to the copyright and licenses regarding the music. Berry Gordon, who was the executive producer of the movie, was also the main music promoter. Back in the 1980s, the music was licensed for theaters and TV, mainly premium cable like HBO. Then it was reworked to include VHS tape as well. When DVDs came out, the licenses did not cover that medium, so a new license had to be done. However, it was not, and then Blu-Ray came about. Now, movies are licensed to include nearly every possible medium, but back then, every medium had to have its own license. That's why a movie that came out in 1985, wasn't available for later viewing until 2015 unless you saw it on TV or VHS tape. I had a VHS tape copy I recorded off HBO when it came out. And every few years when it came on again, I would record a fresh copy. This, while waiting for more permanent medium and now, digital streaming.
I love this movie! And this was just a really fun reaction! I love that Emily loved this so much. I would give this a 9 or 9.95. Remake? Nah, I wouldn't remake this movie. It's perfect as is, doesn't need a remake. There are so many scenes to this that are just great, but I really like toward the end when Sho'nuff is gone and hollars "Leroy!" Then we see him with the red glowing hands. So cool. The soundtrack is just awesome!
One time back in the 90s, I heard a rumor they were gonna remake this with Samuel L Jackson as Shonuff. I've been waiting for confirmation ever since.🥺
Love this movie. Great soundtrack, Vanity, a personable leading man, decent martial arts. Just brings great memories of watching it for the first time. Ernie Reyes, Jr. was a standout in his small role, no pun intended. Thanks for bringing it to the channel and for thoroughly enjoying it.
What’s more interesting is that he was 13 in this movie and looks 8. I’m only 2 years younger than he is and when I found out his age back then I was shocked. I was 11 and thought he was far younger than me.
@@taoist32 I was 12 and I thought he was younger, too
@@franticrage73 He was a tiny guy. Now he’s a badass 50 yr old with a family, and still doing martial arts.
Emily should watch 'Enter The Dragon' now.
I mean honestly that should've come first. It enriches who Leroy is as a person to know who inspired him first hand.
Oh man! It's an 80s overload! Brings me back to the best years of my life
Oh man, this movie. I saw it when it came out and we still quote it to this day. At any random time any of us will say something like this; "Who's the best systems analyst? SHO NUFF!" or we would also do it like this; "Is 'fill in the blank' the best barista in town? SHO NUFF!" We been doing this for years and I don't care, it's a guaranteed belly laugh every gd time.
I say Mario Van Peebles as Bruce Leroy and Ken Foree as Sho’ Nuff.Also,Emily had a great idea about how to start a sequel when she mentioned that she was interested in what the offspring of Vanity’s character and Bruce Leroy would be like.
If you want to see Ernie Reyes Jr. kick ass as an adult, may I recommend The Rundown? It’s a really fun movie and I think The Rock’s first leading role.
"What's up Hip Hop?" Still my favorite Rock movie, and I'm still mad there hasn't been a sequel.
OMG I can't believe that you finally got to watch this one. This movie is a serious part of my child hood nostalgia and Sho Nuff will always be one of my favorite villains. Thanks!
One of the greatest films ever, and definitely the best villain in any movie ever.
Thank you. That is really all I can say.
This movie was my childhood. No one in my school understood when I would say "Sho'nuff".
Sadly, Vanity passed away in 2016 from kidney failure 😢 😞
I am glad you liked this movie, it's one of my favorite 80s flicks! It's SO over the top with 80s cheese.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out in '85 with my best friend. We also saw the trailer for Big Trouble in Little China. This was a fun movie and still is.
I love that Emily loved this movie. I was 11 when this came out and fell in love with this movie immediately.
A good follow-up film to see is "I'm gonna get you sucka" starring Keenan and Damon Wayans
Also with a banging soundtrack.
This was one of those movies that was on TV all the time when I was growing up and I watched it every time because it's so much fun. It's always a blast to watch. Another fun movie I grew up with that was also on TV all the time was "Super Fuzz" (1980), you two should check it out sometime.
Super fuzz was the shit!
I absolutely loved this movie growing up I was terrified of sho'nuff. His red glow freaked me out when I was young.
So.. Berry Gordy produced a few movies and a lot of them starred Diana Ross. I think you two would love The Wiz, if you haven't seen it already. So much fun and a superb soundtrack!
And The Apple
Ooooo, i forgot about the Wiz
One of the greatest movies in the history of Cinema. Also Sho’Nuff is the greatest villain of all time.
This is a 10/10 for me. Up at the top of my love list of all time movies. Surprisingly, I can't name a Barry Gordy movie I've seen I haven't liked. This, The Wiz, The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, Mahogany, Lady Sings the Blues, all hold a special part in my heart of minority created movies. Glad you got to see it. 😊
This was my older brother's favorite movie. And it makes me so happy to see people discovering it.
This is actually my favorite movie of all time. Its so cheesy and the music is great, and it was just fun all around.
This movie was 9 year old Me's entire wheelhouse; Martial Arts, Breakdancing, and Vanity. The most important character (double fist clench) Sho-Nuff, The Shogun of Harlem. I popped this tape ALOT. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Addendum: I've been laughing at "Dirty Books, I Found Them, I Found Them..." for far to long.
This is my favorite reaction y'all have ever done and that's saying something cause I've never seen y'all do a bad reaction!!
I've lost count of how many times I've seen this movie and it's still the best.
I'm so glad y'all finally got around to The Last Dragon, it's definitely one of my faves of all time.
If y'all can get a hold of the Blu Ray or Dvd, y'all need to watch this with the director's commentary, it's great!!
Again a great reaction and many blessings to you and yours.
I'd give this movie a rating of 10!!!
I've got a soft spot for Mike Starr who plays Eddie's henchman, he's been in a lot of good stuff over the years.
This movie is peak 80s cheesiness and I absolutely love it. And yes, the soundtrack is fire. I'd expect nothing less from Berry Gordy.
It's not "cheese".. its "camp".
@@DanJackson1977 I said what I said. Thanks, though.
you guys are lovely. Emily had me in stitches and reminded me how i felt as a 13 year old when this came out. It’s not trying to be serious which is what it makes so fun and funny
Ohh, this movie!! Nothing but great, mindless fun! Also great to see Ernie Reyes Jr. In his acting debut. Also his dad, Ernie Reyes was in there as the guy he fought with wearing the camouflage outfit and did the pop locking kick move on. I saw this movie at a time in my youth when all my friends saw movies like they did say the beginning of the movie......sans the violence and the interrupting audience, but fun!
- "Did I do it?" // "You did somethin'." 🤣 -- It's nice to think that 80s kids in Harlem AND 80s kids in the Valley ("Karate Kid") were equally WAY too into karate. 🤔
- A friend of a friend ran into the actor who played Bruce Leroy at a convention several years back, and the dude was still in great shape.
- That SAME friend of a friend went on to create a karaoke company called "SHONUFF Entertainment", so he's a bit of a fan 😄
- EVERYONE had a crush on Vanity 6. And how could you not, given that her song "Nasty Girl" is a banger in that one BEVERLY HILLS COP scene. I think she's also in ACTION JACKSON.
- Another comedy from around the same time with a similar-ish vibe is "D.C. CAB". To be clear, not a martial arts movie... just also a lot of crazy kinetic "WHAT?!?!" energy.
- "It's my BRAIN y'all! S**t! I don't got'ta explain that garbage!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Although I've watched so many of your videos, this is my first time actually commenting and I just wanted to say that I've seen SOOOO many TH-cam movie reactors and none of them come close to you to with the perfect balance of commentary and space to enjoy the movie (i.e. not overly-talkative and miss crucial dialogue and not motionless silence with no expressions), so great job for that! And the natural humor between you two is hilarious! 😂I feel like we'd all be friends because I have the same thoughts as both of you and you voice it a mere second after I think it (minus Emily's blasphemous choice of Shia Lebeouf as Leroy??? TF 😒smh lol). Anyway, great video, as always! Big fan 🙌🏾
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JustSUMMReactions It's my pleasure, and I always look forward to what you will be reacting to next, especially when it's a film I know so that I can share the same reactions as Matthew when I know Emily's is going to bust out laughing when it gets to that part and we're both stifling our laughter (even though I don't have to because I'm not sitting next to her 😂) Keep up the great work!
Oh, and since I know you love Eddie Murphy movies I will be so quick to watch if you react to "Boomerang" or "Harlem Nights" because I know Emily will pass out laughing from either of them! lol
The 80's threw up all over the movie. Its a fantastic movie from a fun time, what can go wrong. It is one of my favorite movies.
Truly great 80s gem. Too many people never even heard of it. Sho nuff is really all that needs to be said
Definitely a favorite of mine. Fun thing about Sho'Nuff for me, was that even though he was an antagonist he still was skilled enough for The Glow.
I had been in martial arts for a year or two when this movie came out. It inspired me to learn how do do that jump spin kick he uses at the end. And I did!
This was a February treat on HBO growing up... I think I also had it recorded on a couple VHS.
This movie has a special place in my heart. It was a favorite of my mother's.
If this was remade Michael Jai White would be amazing as Sho'Nuff.
One of my all time favorites. My dad took me and my friend to see it. I remember someone throwing a drink at the screen. Good times. This is one of those movies if it’s on tv I’m gonna watch it.
This is by far the 80s in a nutshell. I saw this in the theater absolutely loved it. I'm glad it became a cult classic. And I'm glad you took to it as much as the rest of us did growing up with it
Her "CATCH IT WIT' YO' TEEF!", followed by the glee? I feel like that was everyone's exact reaction when they saw that scene the first time.
Like many others, I had a huge crush on Vanity after watching this film. Then I saw her a couple years later in Action Jackson and, thanks to one particular scene, my crush went into overdrive.
I'm so happy to watch y'all react to this movie. It's one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE movies. I've seen this so many dozens of times, that I've lost count. I think I've only seen one other reaction channel do this movie. I hope y'all love it as much as I do.
This is my favorite film of all time. As a child I had the vhs and would watch it on repeat!!! And it had representation for us as well. I’m so glad you loved it so much. It really warmed my heart.
“I volunteer as tribute”. Lmao… Classic.
Sometimes movies are just supposed to be fun and this movie is pure joy.
The first time I saw this, it was played on cable TV around lunchtime, while I was on summer vacation from school. I had 10 minutes before it started, so I decided to heat up a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup to prepare. It was my first attempt at cooking on my own, and I set the heat too low. It ended up taking longer to heat up, so I missed the first maybe 20 minutes, except for a few moments I took my eyes off the stove. So I came in, right at the very end of the theater scene, and watched the rest, and LOVED IT! Then i saw it again from the start, and felt like the whole plot & resolution would have been spoiled by Sho'Nuff's speech in the theater. I was glad I missed that, the first time.
"I First thought of Laurence Fishburn as Leroy, but then I though Shia LaBeouf in blackface would be much better!" - Emily 2022 (I might have paraphrased a bit here)
For re-casting, I'd go with Quinton Jackson for Sho'Nuff and Laurent Plancel for Leroy.
Edit: Oh, and for Eddie - James Spader!
If Emily hadn't enjoyed The Last Dragon, I would have been done with the channel 😅 It's one of the few movies you either love or you can't hang with me.
My motto is, "If you don't like The Last Dragon, then I don't like you".
See Reyes Jr fighting Sr., so cute! Great 80's movie! Been waiting for a reaction for this movie, did not disappoint! Thanks so much!
I Loved This Movie!!! Still Rewatch Whenever I Can!!! Glad You Enjoyed It Emily!!! It's A 10 For Me!!! Till Next Time!!! 💜💜💜💜
Love this reaction! This is one of my favorite movies for a great movie night. Also, in the 80's we had GREAT! Karate movies. Today everything is CGI and green screen and completely unbelievable fight scenes. In the 80's the good guys actually got hurt while trying to defeat the bad guy. Oh wait, in the 80's the bad guys were the bad guys. Today the bad guys aka drug dealers, cereal killers, evil characters from my childhood movies are now the good guys and the good guys are the evil ones. I F'n hate it! Also, only Sho's hands glowed and the true glow was the full body as in when Leroy gets the glow. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Malefacent
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 shows like: Weeds, Dexter, Breaking Bad etc.
I loved this as a kid and when it came out on dvd I watched it at least 3 times with the commentary track.
Sho-Nuff :P
Ernie Reyes Jr is a legend. He's from San Jose where I live I wish he still lived out here.
Ernie Ray has been the staple in martial Arts movies my entire life, so many roles he has played, in the rundown he lays a beat down on the rock
While this is a very fun movie, I always find it amusing that the last fight is between someone who knows how to fight, but can't really act against someone who can act, but can't really fight. But the charm means that it doesn't matter in the slightest.
It's fun, silly, and heartwarming. I've always loved everything about it.
"I said, WHO'S THE MASTER?!"
"SHO NUFF!!!!!!"
RIP Vanity 🙏
THANK you for not showing the little brother get his head clocked on the gas canisters...that was the one hit in this film I really felt.
You forgot Ernie had his own show as a kid. And Leroy was a real martial artist that tried acting
lol when this popped up on my feed, I knew Emily was gonna have to say "Oh baby" or "Bless his heart" at least two or three times when it came to Leroy because he's so innocent
This is literally my second all time favorite movie ever created it’s truly a masterpiece timeless with an incredible soundtrack
Yes Yes Yes. I requested this movie like a year ago. Cant believe its finally time. Now cant wait for you to see Short Circuit
Brings me joy to see others enjoying this film. So much fun.
Classic. It was ment to be a live action cartoon that's why it's so over the top. Love it.
