The Last Dragon

1985, PG-13, 109 min. Directed by Michael Schultz. Starring Taimak, Vanity, Julius Carrey, Faith Prince.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., June 24, 2002

Motown's Berry Gordy produced this karate picture starring two one-named wonders, Taimak and Vanity (the Prince protégée), and a selection of Motown B-sides. Able-handed veteran Schultz directs. Look for William H. Macy and Chazz Palmintieri in bit roles.

Based on a novel by Bishop T.D. Jakes, a black evangelical preacher and author who also co-stars, this unusual film is part revivalist sermon, part narrative drama, and wholly urgent and engaging.
