The Last Dragon Pins and Buttons
Description: Bruce Leroy Academy - The Last Dragon - 1985 an American martial arts comedy produced for Berry Gordy by Rupert Hitzig and directed by Michael Schultz. The film stars Timak, Vanity, Julius Carry, Christopher Murney, Keshia Knight Pulliam and Faith Prince. Choreography by Leicester Wilson and Lawrence Leritz.
Description: Set in New York City, the movie follows a martial artist named Leroy Green, who has dreams of becoming a great martial artist like his idol Bruce Lee. His master explains that he has reached the final level of martial arts accomplishment known as "The Last Dragon." Martial artists who reach this final level are said to be able to concentrate such mystical energy into their hands that they begin to glow. Only a true martial arts master would be able to exhibit "The Glow" over his entire body. Leroy doesn't fully understand and, in possession of a medal supposedly belonging to Bruce Lee, Leroy embarks upon a spiritual journey to find Master Sum Dum Goy, whom his master claims can help Leroy unlock the power of "The Glow."
Description: This design was inspired by the 1985 martial arts classic, The Last Dragon. A cult classic of the 80's that still gets me amped during the final fight between Bruce Leroy and Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem. The build up to Leroy's point of realization that he is the master, is what does it for me and countless fans of the adage from Buddha: we make our own path by own common sense.
