FREE ON DAILYMOTION The Last Dragon

FREE ON DAILYMOTION  The karate student learns from the master and reaches the last stage of his realization. This is the point where he no longer needs the master. Everything he still has to learn, he finds only in himself. When he reaches this point, his body begins to glow. In The Last Dragon the body actually glows, as if the hero had reached into the socket. If you have watched a lot, a lot of martial arts movies you know that this introduction is obligatory. During the first five minutes there is a philosophical, solemn introduction. Then it's time to get cracking. The Last Dragon, however, works more as a funny combination of karate film, romance and musical with 80s disco pop. And it offers sensational effects for the time! And two attractive and endearing stars! You don't know leading actor Taimak from any other movie. He is more sportsman than actor. Vanity is the singer from the band of "Prince". She even had half a solo hit. Vanity smiles like a sunshine and you like her immediately. While she has to fight in nightclubs and pubs, it all seems like a great joy for her. Vanity alias Laura is DJ in a club of the head villain and Taimak alias Leroy beats her out of it. So the basic situation is clear: Leroy has to defeat the gangsters and fall in love with the girl. In addition, music from "Stevie Wonder", "DeBarge", "Smokey Robinson", "Rockwell" and of course Vanity is playing. A "Saturday Night Fever" + Martial Arts. Unfortunately with few original gangsters, who constantly recite sentences that thousands of other movie gangsters have said before. And they look just like thousands of other movie gangsters. My suggestion for improvement as a video store owner: More love scenes between Vanity and Taimak please.
