What's up reddit! Taimak here. You might know me as Bruce Leeroy, the lead from THE LAST DRAGON. It's coming back to theaters starting this Sunday. Ask me anything!
———————————————————-
Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon returns to theatres in celebration of its 40th Anniversary October 19, 20 & 22 only!
This action-packed story of bravery, dedication, and physical prowess tests the limits and goals of a once mysterious self-defense art form. Martial arts expert Leroy Green (Taimak) seeks to achieve the 'final level' in his craft – the level beyond the dragon, beyond excellence. On his quest, Leroy falls in love with a beautiful singer and video disc jockey, Laura Charles (Vanity). Together, they confront a power-hungry record producer bent on revenge against the young singer, as well as a bloodthirsty egomaniac determined to fight and permanently defeat Leroy. This romantic story centers on the life and death struggle between the love of power and the power of love. Leroy must ascend to the final level, but can he protect Laura's life at the same time?

Hi Taimak, this is one of my favourite movies from back in the day! Will we ever see a sequel?
My dad said this movie was sick, back in his day
Just wanted to say thank you!! You bought me and my family much joy. You are literally the first Super Saiyan!!!
Who is the mastaaaaaaaaaa?
Thank you for such a classic, iconic performance. Movies like The Last Dragon are what made growing up in the 80’s so much fun!
Love the movie!! Congrats on 40 year anniversary.
Hi Taimak. You look great! I was just wondering if you had any personal stories about any of the great actors who we’ve lost, but did such a great job in this movie. Julius Carry, Vanity, Leo O’Brien. So much talent and fun energy. Julius Carry in particular I think just did one of the all-time great fun villain performances.
What do you remember most about being on set for this movie? Any fun memories to share?
This movie was on cable alot and I watched it SOOO many times as a kid. How did it feel to watch the movie have such great legs after release?
Was anyone on set laughing during the break dancing scene in the movie theater? Always thought it was hilarious.
What it look like my brotha!
Congrats on the anniversary! Truly one of my favorite movies and I watch it every year!I’ve always wondered: How many times did it take to chop that arrow in half?
Just wanted to say thanks for a classic! I still have the soundtrack in my playlist!

What was it like working for Berry Gordy? Was he on set a lot? Any fun stories of meeting Motown stars?
Do you think a movie like this could be made today? Who would you want to have direct a potential sequel?
