When you’ve got the glow…you feel the one. Scene from The Last Dragon with the Willie Hutch song.

Shonuff. To this day I still listen to this track just because of the sample. via hiphopdx

Reuters reports RZA [click to read] and Dallas Jackson are co-producing a remake of Berry Gordy’s cult classic martial arts film, The Last Dragon. Few details have emerged thus far, but Samuel L. Jackson has confirmed he will reprise the part of Sho’nuff the Shogun of Harlem. Dallas Jackson, whose previous film works include production on I, Robot and Norbit, is currently writing the script.

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

The as-yet-untitled project will be included as part of Motown’s 50th anniversary next year. After its release in 1985, the original Last Dragon grossed nearly $26 million. There is currently no word on if RZA will score the film as well. The Wu-Tang Clan’s primary beatsmith has previously scored Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and also Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai. RZA and Samuel L. Jackson will also be working on the sequel to the Anime movie Afro Samurai, which is expected to be released in 2009.

    personally i feel that samuel jackson is a great actor but is too old to be sho nuff. i think the wrestler Booker T would be perfect for the sho nuff role.i think pharell from the neptunes would also be good as bruce leroy

    It’s ” When you got the glow, you feel the WARMTH…”

    and

    His little BROTHER pop locks his way out of a bind….

    Whoever wrote this needs to do a bit more research.

    BDiddy, Booker T & Pharell worst idea ever. If they use Samuel Jackson, then Taimak can still play Leroy because they are both old.

    All I’m saying is they’d better not screw this up.

    I think i would be a great Leroy Green. I have had dreams and ambition of playing this role even before the thought of a remake was brought up to the public. I have been a fan of this movie since i was a little boy.
