I don't care how corny or cheesy this movie is, I freaking love it. SHONUFF!
Same!
I fully agree, this movie is absolutely dated, but it was so good to watch the first time, that I don't care.
i want a sequel. not a remake, but sequel. maybe have Leroy as a neighborhood hero.
When I say, Who's the masta, you say, ShoNuff!
lol
That's what makes it great!
"String bean, Rick James looking FOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!"
"beast, kill him" lol that escalated quickly
@@kimmyfreak200 Loool
He Had THE GREATEST HAIR Of All Time? 🤛🤜
Y’all don’t even know how much I sing to myself “you are the Last Dragon. You possess the power of the Glow, of the Glow, of the Glow, of the Glow, of the Glow.”
Me just reading that, stuck in my head for the next week.
Sho'nuff is such an iconic character of the 1980s
Needs a cameo in MK1...
Sho'nuff!
😢Was My Role-Model in Jr High...
I constantly say that to my wife.... drives her nuts.
@@beforethereign3925 lol, you probably say it to her just like they were saying it too, right? 😂
This is such a classic film. The music. The beauty of Vanity. The homage to martial arts features. Its a great film.
Actor Taimak who played Leroy said that the arrow scene in the opening of the movie was real. They had almost no budget for effects so he really did chop all those arrows in flight and then caught the blue one. Actor Julius Carry who played Sho'nuff said that he had a hard time with the role, due to not having any martial arts training. A few times he snapped at the Director who wanted him to do more spinning kicks and such. He told him "Hey, I'm an actor, not a Kung Fu expert!!"
i was about to comment that too...yup that was him doing that...very cool
Also, the reason Sho'Nuff wore the football pads was because they didn't think he was intimidating enough. He was too skinny.
Meanwhile, Taimak was a martial artist, not an actor. I guess it evens out.
HE is the MASTER!🥢
@@hanng1242 Apparently Taimak helped Julius with the fighting, and Julius helped Taimak with his acting.
"You thirsty?"
"Seems like she is."
Literally beat me by one second.
“Kiss my Converse!”
"who is the master"
Sho'Nuff
😂😂😂
Maybe the most famous line in the movie.
RIP Julius Carry, AKA Lord Bowler, AKA Sho'Nuff. I was just talking about how cool it would be if Sho'Nuff was a guest character in MK a couple of days ago, after seeing a mod with him.
Loved Julius Carey in the Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. as Lord Bowler. Him and Bruce Campbell were great together in that show.
Hell yeah, loved Julius Carry, truly an underrated character actor
Yes, Carry also portrayed Angela Moore's Army father on "Boy Meets World."
@@markwilliams6394He was also the Army Dad of Angela Moore from "Boy Meets World."
This has to be one of, if not THE MOST, over the top movies ever made. And I loved it!!
Then you haven’t watched Riki-oh
Your wife is lookin like “What the hell you got me watchin?”” 😂😂😂
You can't go into this movie expecting Citizen Kane or Alien. It's suppose to be Sum Dum Fun
I think the wife took this movie a little too seriously. The pure over the top & ridiculousness of this film is what gives it charm. I've always just seen it as a fantasy or fairy tale done in the 80's.
I watch this film no less than twice a year and have done so since the 90's. It's just a fun movie. Sho-Nuff!
The last dragon was one of my favorite movies growing up, but then when I rewatched it when I was older, I thought it was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. But it still has a place in my heart for nostalgia.
The key clue in the beginning that the master was trolling Bruce Lee-Roy. "Go see an old sage, Sum Dum Guy". Bruce Lee Roy should have brushed up on his Mandarin yo. Also the belt buckle. C'mon
i saw this 3 times in the movie theater as a kid. it was magical even to this day
@@markwang77 my brother and i always lost it when the karate class kids charge into the room...johnny's nunchuckas scene too hehe
Same, still love it though.
CATCHING BULLETS With HIS TEETH!
❤
Sum-Dum Guy Loves Way-Too-Yung Girl...!
This takes me back to kindergarten. Coming home from school, by 1pm I’m watching The Last Dragon on HBO, this and Back to The Future
They didn’t recognize Chazz Palminteri or William H. Macy lol 🤷🏾♂️
Or Ernie Reyes Jr. I remember they watched Red Sonja.
@@taoist32 They mentioned him & Red Sonia
I seen William on 9:04 scene,I noticed him right away but which part was Chaz in 🤷🏾♂️I seen this movie in the 90’s and early 2000’s before Shameless Tv Show but I didn’t Chaz was in it too
It definitely passed over their heads as usual.
" Sum Dum Goy ".... I definitely didn't get that one as a 7 year old....
Her not getting this classic angers me to the level of shonuff . Btw the actor that plays shonuff also played the football coach in " the new guy" with dj qualls , Eddie griffin, Eliza dushku, and zoey Deschanel.
Never been more dissapointed with Mrs Movies and her reaction/attitude to one of my top 10 childhood classics. This is why you should never look forward to anything, only leads to dissapointment.
I’ve never seen a more unimpressed look at the end of a movie than what she had.
Us Black children did not have the luxury of having hollywood cater to us. We had very few film characters to relate to, we had to watch michael J fox and relate the best we can 😅 in our households Bruce Leroy was like our Luke Skywalker
This was the comment I was hoping to find! Beautifully and rightfully said! Leroy Greene was our superhero in the 80s.
Before the video started, I had a good feeling she wasn't going to like this movie.😂
Omg the breakdancing raygunn made me spit out my damn drink. 🤣😂🤣
I had to go back, wtf was that green thing. Then laughed my ass off.
I used to fight with my brother because of this movie. Then my mother came and showed us who was the real master lol.
Sounds like you had a good Mom?
@@D.A.B-w7n I sure did.
I assume that she had the Glow? That was most certainly not sweat, and if you say it is, you'll get the rolling pin again.
@@hanng1242 She sure did have the glow lol.
😂😂😂😂
What a gem! I've loved this movie since growing up as a child in the 80s, and it's still fun
Mrs Movie yes, he wore that hat in public. You should've seen ny in the 80's. All those kung fu movies on tv and in the small theaters infected urban culture 🤣 and you would see black kids and white kids in full Chinese pajamas w hats, brass knuckles (before they were illegal) - everything ok?!🤣
“Why don't any fifty of you who want me to sit down and shut up, come down here just for the fun of it!"
"Not the face baby!"
sho'nuff "YEAH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
@@kimmyfreak200S HE was so Protective of HIM..? ❤
Now, that's LOVE! ❤
Why don't any 50 of you who want me to sit down and shut up come down just for the fun of it.
@@Yugioh420 Thanks. 👍🏻
@44excalibur no problem. You just combined his two part speech into one was all. The first part was just why don't anyone who wants me to sit down and shut up come down here and make me, then said in fact why don't any 50 of you who want me to sit down and shut up come down here just for the fun of it. I probably seen this movie a thousand times or more when I was growing up. I used to be able to quote the whole movie at one time.
Don't ever take an 80's movie seriously unless it's a doc or a drama. We actually enjoyed life in the 80's and 90's, we didn't take life too seriously and it reflected in our culture. That's why today's culture does everything in its power to copy or sequel everything we made cool. Thanks for the reaction guys! This one is a cult classic.
Amen
I was looking forward to seeing this all day, but now that I'm watching it, I'm reminded once again what a stick-in-the-mud the Mrs. is.
As usual.
I thought I was the Only one!! 👍🏾 Just Dry and Lifeless!
Lol 100%....at least the reaction is genuine though!
Never a good sign when the reactor clearly dislikes it from the first frame. Lol.
That's how to lose viewers having a bad attitude.
@@TimeVextorX EXACTLY. Had a gasface the whole time.
28:10 Bruce Leroy trying to unlock Ultra Instinct before reaching Super Saiyan
AWW! You beat me to it!😆
Yea'☯️DITTO..!
If you grew up in NYC, this movie was mandatory watching. We all loved it.
I saw this at the theater when it was released, and this is the most fun I've ever had at the movies! I love this movie! I'm not saying that it's a good movie, it isn't, but it's a great bad movie. Sho Nuff is a great movie villain, and Bruce Leroy is the perfect blacksploitation kung-fu hero. Extra points for the soundtrack.
The movie is not for everybody, but I will always love it. And the soundtrack
same as zoolander... very very silly movie but it makes me laugh till i'm in tears lol i miss the absurdity of comedy from the old days..like KUNG POW ENTER THE FIST
@@kimmyfreak200 To me, it's all about the goal. Those two movies are trying to be silly and ridiculous. If the movie doesn't take itself seriously, why should we 😂
Is this a movie reaction or an Abilify commercial? She’s got all the cheerfulness of the Bates mansion.😂
Taimak does a lot of comic cons, I bought an autograph t shirt from him. He had that music playing at his booth!
I would love to meet him!
SHO-NUFF!
I can't hear you.

Wow I didn’t know Chaz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale, The Usual Suspects) was in this movie. He’s playing the limo driver.
William H. Macy also makes an appearance as the entertainment agent who pleads with Laura Charles to give Eddie Arcadian's video a slot on her show.
Fun facts: Two Cosby Show cast members are in this movie Keisha Knight Pulliam (Rudy from Cosby Show) plays Leroy's little sister and Carl Anthony Payne (Cockroach, Theo's friend) plays a friend of Leroy's brother. Look for him in the scene where Sho-Nuff and his crew wreck the Green's pizzeria.
And, yes, that's William H. Macy as the production assistant trying to convince Laura to look at Eddie's video.
You two must watch “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”. It’s a late ‘80’s cult classic from the Wayan’s family pre-In Living Color. A must-see comedy!
@15:46 "Hey Reloy!". How'd that make the final cut lmao
haha i love richie
Finally someone who caught the yo reloy bit
Always remembered that bit since watching this in the 80s
Also taimak was in a Janet Jackson video in a main part
I don’t know if I’m more ashamed to have watched this movie 10+ times since it came out or that I just now caught that slip-up for the first time.
@@stevesheroan4131 come on Steve..slacking bro😀❤️
Not every day you see a reaction to The a Last Dragon. When one does pop up, you watch. Simple as that.
The little Chinese boy who was great at Kung fu. I met him at my Taekwondo class in late 80s. His parents and our instructor were good friends from the us army. They visited our class and the kid did a demonstration.
Ernie Reyes Jr. Filipino, not Chinese. His father built up franchises of his dojo back in the 70’s. Ernie was also in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Red Sonja, Surf Ninjas, The Rundown, Sidekicks, and many other movies.
he was also in a tv show SIDEKICKS
@@taoist32 ty. I completely forgot his name and didn't bother looking it up
@@kimmyfreak200I used to watch that show!!
@@joellenglass2344 I remember when it premiered I was very very sick didn't want to go to the hospital until I watched that series and I think it was Starman or Max Headroom.
Thanks for watching one!! Apparently I watched this movie so much as a kid that the VHS stopped working. 🤷🏿♂️ I wouldn't call this a spoof but an homage to Bruce Lee and old Kung Fu movies. Not far enough to be a black exploitation but it's definitely hilarious, quotable, and memorable for many.
RIP Vanity (Laura- also from Vanity 6 who was founded by Prince), Julius Carry (Shonuff), and Leo O'Brien (Ritchie).
I think you need to have watched those old Saturday kung-fu flicks to get the genre.
@@russellward4624 Possibly so, or more Bruce Lee movies, at least.
Clue, The Last Unicorn, and The Last Dragon were the films I watched all the time as a kid. The Last Dragon and Unicorn have great soundtracks too.
Have all 3 on dvd. Autographed version of The Last Unicorn.
@@elizabethparker4511 Same, all three on DVD, soundtracks, and autographed copies of the last unicorn DVD and book.
I got to get that special edition of The Last Unicorn DVD.
Why do you force her to watch movies she obviously has no interest in watching. She was bored to death watching this one just making snide remarks
It reminded me of her comment when watching "the good bad and ugly" stating she was bored with the final showdown, which is widely regarded as epic. Nuff said
8:57 I didn't know William Macy from Shameless and Boogie Nights was in this!
Did you see The Cooler?
Such a nostalgic movie!
Black guy acting Asian,
Asian guys acting black,
So many over the top characters!
Good music,
Kung Fu fighting
Shonuff!
And of course Vanity!
What else do you want out of an 80's urban comedy kung-fu cluster fuck?
This movie is stuck in the feel good part of my childhood 4realz😂...
I'm a little worried about Ms. Reactions....her eyes have glazed over and she is definitely lost. Someone help her. LoL!!! #ShogunOfThe80's
As long as you get to see Vanity, the movie is worth watching.
Could do without hearing her though 😵💫
@@freddiemossberg7204 Who are you talking about?
@@TimeVextorX Vanity
Always sad we didn’t get the further adventures of Bruce Leroy. Loved the movie, loved the music, loved the moves.
There's movies that are not supposed to be taken seriously. This is one. Figured it was obvious with a name like Bruce Leroy. 😂 I love it. Now, who's da master? Sho 'Nuff!
No this is not a parody at all. And as far as the hat we weren't all sensitive back then on what people wore. And when it comes to people that are actuall Martial artist the the rules change, you basically can wear whatever you want. Im Mexicano and we had Thai outfits and no one ever said anything., because we were all students training in Muy Thai.
One of my most fulfilling times as a father was showing this to my son and he watched it non-stop and learned every word of the movie!!! He was 7 when I introduced it to him. He’s 10 now and we still watch it from time to time!!
Ernie Reyes Jr also starred in a TV Show shortly after this movie as well in the 80's and later on after TMNT he stars in a movie alongside his real life father called Surf Ninjas. It also co-stars Rob Schneider. And Lesley Neilson.
Sidekicks.
yup Sidekicks
Along with Buck Rogers
Money can't buy knives.
My wife and I love this movie we have the dvd
She hated this movie so much. Lol
Taimak is his actual name and the last dragon was his debut movie
Denise Matthews aka vanity became a born again Christian in the 90s. But passed away from kidney failure at a very young age
She was 56 I think. I remember as I was battling kidney disease waiting for a kidney as well.
One of my favorite movies as a kid, now my oldest boy has my copy with him at school:)
If you liked Julius Carrey (Sho Nuff), then you should check out The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. He plays Lord Bowler alongside Bruce Campbell as the titular character! (It's a one-season sci-fi western. )
True. Carry as portrayed the Army father of Angela Moore from "Boy Meets World"
That guy Sho twisted and bit his ankles may never walk again but I bet he'll hop better than anyone else in Harlem.
This was just a good lighthearted funny martial arts flick from the mid 80s, don't try to get too deep with the thinking just switch off the brain and enjoy it. It is a good movie for what it is. Enjoyed the reaction.
Bruce Leeroy catches bullets with his teeth?!!😂😂😂u know the rest😂😂😂
i love how taimak looks like he is trying not to crack up during that part
She looks like she didn't enjoy this classic Film..🤔🤔
This is Mrs Cowboy Movies reactions face. Stoic yet immersive. She's got catchphrases tho
Jack em baby don't hurt that baby 😂😂😂😂
You can always tell me Mrs movies don't like the movie lol
She's a bit Prudish! 😅
My favourite movie of all time. Saw it in the cinemas when I was 5. Haha it's not for everyone and can understand if people think it's wack. I watch it at least once a year, and when I do, I can feel my wife rolling her eyes and shaking her head from the next room lol.
So Berry Gordy was the head of Motown and he wanted a way to showcase his talent. The lead actress Vanity was actually a singer and had a band called Vanity Six which was put together by Prince. Later on in life, Vanity did some interviews were she basically eluded to the fact that Berry Gordy pimped his female talent out including herself to get deals done. At some point she found religion and was vocal about the way the entertainment industry chews up people.
Very scummy thing Berry Gordy did to those females. I had a big crush on Vanity and Vanity 6. She was beautiful and a great singer/actress. Rest In Power Denise Katrina Matthews aka Vanity.🕯️🙏🏽🕯️❤️
I was fortunate to have met Taimak (Leroy "Bruce Leroy" Green). He's a very humble guy and kind as well.
Oh it is always a _treat_ to see reactors watch this movie.
They are The☯️CHOOSEN ONE!
❤
in honor of ernie reyes jr you should watch surf ninjas its stupid goofy action fun
Love this movie. So ridiculous. I think "Sidekicks" would be a cool movie to watch one day. Low budget but has a ton of charisma........and Chuck Norris.
Loved this as a kid. My friends and I were heavily into kung fu, ninja stars, and break dancing.
Classic!!!!
Sho nuff would make a great pro wrestler...wait a minute
The best part of this reaction is the look of total disinterest on her face. Had me cracking up the entire time 😂😂😂
Cinemax 1994 and my life was never the same
I love the soundtrack in this movie.
Childhood guilty pleasure. Watched soo many times growing up. I can still quote every single line in this movie. haha I even surprised myself because it's been soo many years since I last watched this, yet I found myself talking out the lines while watching (as well as the continuation of the lines from after your cut away segments).
my brother and i watched this sooo many times as a kid lol
Mr. Movie had so much fun with this. I love the soundtrack for this. Sho Nuff favorite character. He was super over the top
the last dragon song is still such a cool song..the bass too
That Raygun cameo had me rolling 🤣 😂 💀
Taimak ( Bruce Leroy ) was 19 years old during the making of this movie.
i dont mean to be rude but your wife is dead inside lol.
In the intro she was full of character so its obvious she isnt always dead inside but JESUS its as if she hated life watching this movie.
Its okay not to like it, especially watching this as an adult 40 years after it was released, but for the love of GOD why was she so negative lol.
This the type of movie that was popular during the times, when Video Games and Anime started making its way worldwide re-inventing popculture etc.
Watching this as a kid, teen and young adult at that time was unreal and also Martial Arts genre was HOT CAKE so this movie had it all.
Too bad she couldnt enjoy anything out of it.
P.S CUTE DAUGHTER lol
I Agree 👍🏾
To call this a parody - I suppose that could depend on how one views the parameters of a parody. It's certainly over the top; and has moments that seem like they're spoofing other more serious movies, but everything in this movie is an artistic choice rather than making fun of or parodying other movies. At the time it was certainly a unique movie. I don't recall any other movie having this overall feel to it. Not sure if this kind of thing could be done today though. I suppose the closest thing I could connect - even if very loosely - is the Black Power Ranger Zack, who uses hip hop dancing and martial arts to create Hip Hop-Kedo. His own custom fighting Style.
It's been so long since I've seen this movie, I never realized Busta Rhymes dad was Shonuff.
REALLY!! 😮
just direct-a your feetza to daddy greens pizza!
"watch yo'self son"
This is a cult classic. 😂😂
This is an African American homage to those Saturday kung fi movies with the subtitles that we use to watch.
39:48 that is a great addition to the film lol.
Hilarious 😂😂😂
The obvious hate for vanity is a killing the experience. Guy you seem to understand artistry . Maybe react by yourself or get a female that isn’t a contrarian while watching movie.
MAN she HATED her! It was gross.
Well gosh I have been invited to comment but I wouldn’t know what to say perhaps you might like a weather report it is blowing gale force round my house 😊😊❤
Jesus that edit had me crying laughing.
"NEVAAHH SAYYY NEVAAAAAHHH". This show raised me as kid when the folks were busy.
If anyone is an artist; Draw these characters!
My Lil' Sister Kept Singing That WHOLE ASS Song! 😢
NEEVAH SAY NEEVAH SING To That SONG!
☯️
One of my childhood faves! A classic! ❤
Vanity, one of the most beautiful women ever. That face is perfection.
Why do you look so uncomfortable watching this lol?
The lead actor in this movie was also featured in a Janet Jackson music video let's wait awhile in 1986 from her third album control (1986)
i had a huge crush on taimak when i was younger
@@kimmyfreak200 that's his name thank you
Yeah I remember that!!
@@kimmyfreak200I did too! 😂
This is one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid !! Back when hollywood was on coke and would take a risk on movies like the last dragon.
I saw this 3 times in the theater when I was a kid.
This was the shit when I was a kid in the 80s thanks 4 reacting to this, straight nostalgia 🔥🔥🔥
I'm glad I'm not too hip or cynical to love campy movies. This one helped me get to the Junior Olympics for TKD in St Louis bitd! The soundtrack (available on Spotify) was a great training aid. We didn't have a lot of wholesome heroes for US back then. -That one person really seemed annoyed with Vanity (RIP) too. I'll pass on this channel. I'd rather watch the "Well Hello Silly" channel. Those two are positive and upbeat while still managing to give honest reviews, good and bad.
Could be an anti-damsel thing. I know some people can only be shown as strong and independent.
