Cult Classics Part I

I'm going to be posting a variety of film reviews whether they are old, new, or just one of the classics. "The Last Dragon" happens to be a cult classic of the 80's that is always easy to watch over and over again. Leeroy Green plays a naive kung fu rookie on a "mission" to find the Masta. Before he finds the Masta, he has to overcome a few obstacles:

Vanity- a horny ass bimbo club owner who DJs at a cheesy danceclub and uses lines such as "you sure look like a masta to me"

Shonuff- who plays the badass leader of a kung fu gang with a froey ass funky do with electric-red leather getup and throughout the film terrorizes family owned pizza joints

Eddie Arcadian-a short, fat, bald, ill-tempered a-hole with a loopy Cyndi Lauper wanna be girlfriend who wears red lights as a bra. Oh yeah, and a bonehead body guard with the IQ of my shoelace.

Now let me ask you one question, Could you think of a better cast????

There's nothing better than developing characters from heavy drugs & alcohol which is clearly evident by this ensemble. Anyway, I digress. As epic as this movie is and as often as you might see it on USA or TNT, would you even consider this soundtrack being worth a shit? Probably not. Well, Stevie Wonder, Dwight David, Willie Hutch, Vanity, and Smokey Robinson all decided to be a part of the production. A good comparison: it's kinda like when Michael Jackson agreed to sing backup on that Rockwell one hit wonder, "Somebody's watching me". No idea how it happened, but it did, and the result was impressive.

The installment for the day is the song by Dwight David, "The Last Dragon". For all who have seen the movie, it's the scene at the end of the film when Leeroy faces off with Shonuff and realizes who the Masta really is. However cheesy the lyrics may be, the track is definitely highlighted with the funky bass lines, horns section, and Dwight David's soulful addition. I actually had a hard time decided which song to post, I wanted to post Willie Hutch's "The Glow" and may still do so. Funky 80s rap. dig it.
