Subject: weird and bad 80s movie help

Written By: holy tornado on 08/15/08 at 2:01 am

i just witnessed what could be the worst movie to come out of the 80s. my problem is i really want to know what it was called! I need some help on this one, please. it's most basic premiss is that it wanted to be a kung fu movie (yep, it even included a video montage to bruce lee at the end) and i believe it was set in chinatown (don't ask what city). and there was a woman trying to make it in the music business...but she had a  crazy producer with a vat of what seemed to be acid in his office. but the best part was the "bad guy" who ran around in what appeared to be football shoulder pads and pants and not much else.

I know this whole thing is really random, but it was one of those trainwrecks of a movie...you just couldn't take your eyes off of it. if you know what this was that i was forced to watch...please help!

thank you :-\\

It sounds like "The Last Dragon" to me.  See clip equipped with ridiculously-bad music.

I do believe that is "The Last Dragon".  There are only 2 good things about that movie:

♦ 'Rhythm of the Night' by DeBarge

♦ Vanity ...

It most definitely was Berry Gordy's the Last Dragon...

Hey Holy Tornado "kiss my converse" dude that movie kicked arse!!! 

Okay I was kidding about the kiss my converse part- its a line from the movie

But I love that movie....you're taking it out of context... its an homage to the kung fu movies of the 70's, blaxploitation films and comic books.  Plus the soundtrack is pretty good too.

I'm with Snoz on this one, this was a cool movie.
I certainly wanted to see Bruce Leroy take down "The Shogun Of Harlem".
Sho'nuff?

Your Pal,
