The Last Dragon (1985)

The Last Dragon (1985)

This week, Shat The Movies enters the world of Harlem kung fu, Motown soundtracks, and glowing fists with 1985's The Last Dragon.

Commissioned by listener Daylen, this mashup of martial arts flicks and music videos introduced audiences to Bruce Leroy, the Shogun of Harlem and one of the wildest cult classics of the '80s. But does its mix of camp and kung fu still shine today, or is it just a guilty pleasure best left in the VHS era?

Gene and Big D debate whether Taimak was an underrated action star or just a wooden lead propped up by Vanity's charisma.

The Shat Crew relives Sho'nuff's scene-stealing swagger, the bizarre Eddie Arkadian subplot and a soundtrack so strong it sometimes overshadows the movie itself.

Along the way, Dick and Gene marvel at the glowing special effects, question if Leroy's innocence makes him endearing or frustrating and admit that this might be the most "1985" movie ever made.

Is The Last Dragon a true martial arts masterpiece with soul or just Motown's strangest experiment? Who's the master? Sho'nuff!
