Remember that gem of a movie from the 80s, THE LAST DRAGON? I do. Crazy, od fun. And who could forget how the young hero (Bruce Leroy) of the film, needed and found, a mentor, to teach him how to kick some butt. Enter Shogun Sho'nuff. Actor Julius J. Carry III played the mentor and was the only thing to recall from the film. BUT...In real life there was a man, a slave, from Portuguese Mozambique who was brought to Japan by Jesuits.
Anyway, he getting his own movie!
I said, "He is getting HIS OWN MOVIE" "Bout time. Now, if only some black screen writers could get a crack at it. One can dream. Read all about it at the link below and check out the renderings.
Wax on. Wax off.
