June 9, 2023
The music-infused martial arts film Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon (1985) will be released in a limited edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook Sept. 19 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
In the film, martial arts student Leroy Green (Taimak) is on a quest to obtain the elusive all-powerful force known as “The Glow.” Along the way, he must battle the evil, self-proclaimed “Shogun of Harlem” — a kung fu warrior also known as Sho’nuff (Julius J. Carry III) — and rescue a beautiful singer (Prince protégée Vanity) from an obsessed record promoter.
The film — which has been scanned from the original camera negative and presented in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision approved by director Michael Schultz — features a Motown soundtrack, including music by Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Vanity and DeBarge performing their smash hit “Rhythm of the Night.”
