Soopa Starr’s Blaxploitation Friday: The Last Dragon

This is actually one of my favorite ever. I mean, just look at the poster’s tagline and tell me you wasn’t in for some grade-a fuckery. And as always, if you’re digging this, hit up Gangstarr Girl for a fresh take on hip-hop, politics, fashion and other worldly and wordy things through the eyes of a New York-helmed around-the-way girl. Without further adeiu…

Even though the blaxploitation genre was primarily a 70s thing, there were some flicks that slipped through the cracks and made it to the later years. So, in the spirit of all re-makes, I bring you…

That’s right. You may have heard by now, but if not, there is officially going to be a remake of Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, and Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to play Sho’Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem.

People have been saying that Busta Rhymes should be Sho’Nuff because of the “Dangerous” video but I think Sam Jack is gonna do his thing. I’m not mad.

Now, who’s gonna play Bruce Leroy and Laura Charles?

For Bruce Leroy, I think they should just pick an unknown martial arts master who can kinda sorta act. But because I’m sure they’ll want a big name, I have a hunch that they’re gonna go with Chris Brown.

As far as Laura Charles (Vanity’s character), I think Cassie would work.

Who would you cast?

  9. I honestly feel a remake will just ruin what’s already a classic movie. And I don’t see Samuel L. Jackson doing roundhouse kicks to anybody’s head, that’d look too damn funny and unreal.

  10. soulja boy “ignant” enough to play leroy’s bro. idk if y’all seen the Protector wit Tony Jaa but this cat Lateef Crowder who does Capoeira (i know its not kung fu) is ill. he’s supposed to play Eddy Gordo in the Tekken Movie i hear. he’d be ok cuz he has some acting experience and a martial arts background. and get Miss Cheetah Girl herself Adrienne Bailon as Laura Charles. personal thoughts

  11. Cee Lo on a few songs on that soundtrack
