That sets up the movie's basic situation: Taimak must defeat both the Shogun and the gangster - and fall in love with the girl, of course. Vanity refuses, and she is rescued from the gangster's thugs not once but twice by the brave Taimak, who barehandedly demolishes the hitmen. Meanwhile, Vanity is working as a video disc jockey at a private club, and a gangster ( Chris Murney) decrees that she should play a video he has produced, starring his girlfriend (Faith Prince, no relation). Taimak is in the front row, so loyal to the Bruce Lee mystique that he's eating his popcorn with chopsticks, and after he has a showdown with the Shogun, it becomes inevitable that they will have to endure a fight to the finish. Carry III, who describes himself as the Shogun of Harlem, and who presides over a hilarious early scene where he marches into a movie theater full of Bruce Lee fans and threatens to fight everyone in the house. There's another engaging actor in the movie, a man named Julius J. In less than 12 months, Prince has introduced two electrifying actresses, Appolonia Kotero from 'Purple Rain' and now Vanity. Of Vanity, let it be said that she has the sort of rapport with the camera that makes us like her instantly she has a sunny smile, and what can only be described as a sort of inner happiness, and in the middle of this plot about gangsters and night clubs and bloody fights, she floats serenely, a joy to behold. The hero is played by Taimak, a 20-year-old karate student who has not acted before, but who has a natural screen presence, and the heroine is Vanity, the rock singer discovered by Prince and used as a warm-up act at some of his concerts prior to the current tour.

'The Last, Dragon' stars two remarkably attractive and likable actors, who have one name apiece.
