Let’s journey back to 1985 as we explore 13 Things You Didn't Know About The Last Dragon!

Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon is a beloved martial arts film that has it all! Directed by Michael Schultz, The Last Dragon has become a cult classic with a growing audience over the years. The film combines action, humor, truly memorable characters, and a fantastic soundtrack! Set in the vibrant streets of New York City in the 1980s, the film follows Leroy Green, aka “Bruce” Leroy, a young martial artist on a quest to achieve the elusive “Glow” and become a true martial arts master like his hero, Bruce Lee.
