Brief review: I guess the question of The Last Dragon is, are you into
Kung Fu enough to ignore the silliness and enjoy the all-to-few weird
touches. The answer for me is, no way. The villain is way too campy
(though Sho Nuff is pretty funny at points), and the plot is just a
Rocky-predictable clone; there isn't one surprise in it. Too much poor
music, cute kids, dumb sidekicks and helpless, brainless heroines (good
looking, tho') for my tastes. I think Gene and Roger gave this a
"Thumbs Up" on At The Movies; I think those boys are getting a mite
too lax these days.
Also: after the previews to "Rambo" I suspect they're going to ship
Sly Stallone off to Chuck Norris territory, to "bring the boys back
home", etc., ad nauseum...
