Samuel L. Jackson Is The Shogun Of Harlem

October 30, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K

Who’s the meanest, prettiest, baddest mo-fo, low-down, around this town? Well, apparently it’s Samuel L. Jackson, because he’s going to play Sho’nuff in a remake of 1985’s “The Last Dragon.” It could be worse, they could have cast Eddie Murphy.

The legendary Julius Carry, who played the Shogun of Harlem in the original movie, passed away in August.

Dallas Jackson will write and produce this shit. The original plot will remain the same, but will get updated. Basically, it’s going to get butchered. I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed Sho’nuff’s name to Sure Enough. The evil warlords of Hollywood have no shame!

Samuel had this to say about playing Sho’nuff, “I’m a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho’Nuff into the 21st century.”

You know what they need to do to get this remake to work? Bring back Vanity! Pull her out of the church and get her to sing “7th Heaven” in the remake. Yeah, I know she’s a born again Christian now and doesn’t do any of her nasty shit anymore, but just tell her “7th Heaven” is really a religious song or something. Let’s relive the memories below:
