Who's the meanest, prettiest, baddest mo-fo, low-down, around this town? Well, it was Shaft back in the 70's and Sho'Nuff in the 80's. Speaking of Sho'Nuff, Samuel L. Jackson has been tapped to play the infamous character in a remake of 1985's "The Last Dragon." The Last Dragon was one of my all-time favorite cheesy 80's flicks, and I have to say with all the remakes going around, i should be immune to the situations at hand. The fucking serum ain't working. STOP making old movies over.
The legendary Julius Carry, who played the Shogun of Harlem in the original movie, passed away in August.
Dallas Jackson will write and produce the remake. I couldn't tell you who the fuck that is. is he related to Samuel L? Curtis Jackson maybe? The original plot will remain the same, but will get updated. Basically, it's going to get butchered. The evil conglomerates of Hollyweird have no shame with taking something with originality and fucking it up. And they do it with a smile.
Samuel had this to say about playing Sho'nuff, "I'm a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century."
The best thing about TLD was seeing a drugged out Vanity with her wild hair and over the top acting. unfortunately, since she's been SAVED, they haven't a chance in hell of bringing her into the remake. May I suggest Paula Patton or Zoe Saldana. If anyone even thinks of casting Halle Berry I'll burn off my testicles.
