The Last Dragon (1985) official film poster

The Last Dragon is one of the cheesiest film classics ever.

The 1985 movie, produced by Motown founder Berry Gordy, tells the magnetic tale of Leroy Green (aka “Bruce Leroy”), an African-American teenager who pursues his quest to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the “Last Dragon”. Those who achieve the high ranking possess “The Glow”, making them the greatest fighter alive.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Motown next year, The Last Dragon is being remade with Samuel L. Jackson set to play Leroy’s nemesis Sho’nuff, the “Shogun of Harlem”.

Berry Gordy’s son Kerry is co-producing the new version, alongside RZA from the Wu Tang Clan.

“I’m a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho’Nuff into the 21st century,” Jackson says.

Starring Vanity, Taimak and a cast of others, The Last Dragon is a cult favorite among urban audiences. If you’re a fan of the original, how interested are you in seeing the remake?

Ciara in Rocawear’s “I Will Not Lose” campaign

Ciara has officially added modeling to her list of many talents, signing with world renown model management company Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.

Wilhelmina is currently looking to cast her in a number of clothing and fragrance campaigns, including one for Victoria’s Secret.

“Modeling has always been one of my aspirations,” says Ciara. “But I was insecure about my height. I thought I was 5′7″ but I just found out I’m 5′8 1/2″, so I’m really excited about that.”

Ciara is no stranger to modeling; she was hand-picked by Jay-Z to be part of his “I Will Not Lose” campaign for Rocawear.

She’s also currently working with department store Steve & Barry’s to create an affordable clothing line that will represent her personal style.

“It’s a perfect fit; it plays with her personality and her coming of age,” says Lisa Cambridge, a rep from Ciara’s label, on her upcoming line. “It’s tasteful, sexy and beautiful, just like her.”
