Leave your thoughts about The Last Dragon.
| South Florida Sun-SentinelJack ZinkThere aren't many surprises, but the momentum never lets up. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThe new martial-arts picture The Last Dragon is first and foremost a romantic comedy, and a very sweet one at that, and that's why it's martial-arts combat scenes work so well. We've been given enough time to care about who's kicking the stuffing out of whom. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioAn intoxicating blend of comedy, kung fu, corny romance, special effects and rock videos, it's as electrically sleepless as the New York it's set against. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt's slick Motown stuff, shrewdly kept on a brightly colored comic strip level, so that its silly plot and wild swings between dancing feet and flying fists don't seem to matter as much as the attractiveness of the two leads. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Say what you want about it, but I still love it. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergHowlingly goofy artifact from the silliest part of the 1980s. |
| DeciderWalter ChawThe charm of The Last Dragon, and key to its lasting potency as a cult object, is how it approaches a conversation about race with humor, even kindness. Its self-deprecation forgives a multitude of sins. |
| Miami HeraldLaurie HornAn enjoyable pastiche of martial arts, romance, music, and video, THE LAST DRAGON presents a likable young hero, Leroy (Taimak), who aspires to become a kung fu master. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatMichael Schultz continues his losing streak as a director with this derivative dud. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTake out the gangsters, pump up the Shogun role, give Taimak and Vanity a little more screen time, and you'd have a great entertainment instead of simply a great near-miss. |
