Some movies fade with time — The Last Dragon still glows bright.
In this review, I revisit Berry Gordy’s 1985 martial-arts cult classic and break down why it’s still one of the most fun, heartfelt, and unforgettable films of the ’80s. Whether you grew up watching Bruce Leeroy chase “The Glow” or you’re discovering it for the first time, this The Last Dragon review shows why it remains a timeless mix of kung fu, Motown, and soul.

From Taimak’s first-time performance to Julius Carry’s iconic Sho’nuff and Vanity’s radiant presence, I dig into what makes this movie more than campy fun — it’s a story about finding your light, staying humble, and believing in who you are.

I also share behind-the-scenes trivia, the music that defined it, and a deeper look at what “The Glow” really means. Spoiler-free and straight from the heart.

If you love martial-arts movies, ‘80s nostalgia, or stories with soul, you’re in the right place.
