Samuel L. Jackson Is The Shogun Of Harlem

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:

I love Samuel L. Jackson but why!! "The Last Dragon" is one of the few bad black kung fu movies. They need to leave that shit alone unless Vanity, Taimak (Bruce Leroy) and his annoying lil brother reprise their roles. This is a sad day in bad black cinema.

My childhood memories are being washed away by remakes. I wonder if Taimak(Bruce Lee Roy) will be in it. I'll just die if they touch the Goonies or The legend of Billie Jean King.

I don't know about this. My pops took us out to Secaucus Lowes 6 to see it when it first came out. The original is a classic! Who is going to play Laura Charles?

I had the misfortune of catching this on cable the other day. I was in my teens and don't remember this shit. At first, it was so bad it was good, but then it was just... unbearable. Of course, I used to love the Karate Kid but when I tried to watch it recently, I couldn't get through it either.

Loved the movie...must confess I watched it on HBO over and over again.

I realized while watching Miss Vanity doing her thing that I still dance exactly like her. I guess I gotta get some new moves.

Oh and to those critical of those of us that are of an age to remember that movie...the 80s were the shit, yo. Jealous much?

MK,
If you remember Vanity and other stuff from her era you need to be pushing 40yo. Your amazing pop culture references betray your age...just saying :-P

Umm, how 'bout no. I just turned 23 and I love me some Vanity. It's all about that old skool...f** the new skool. I'll take Vanity, Apollonia Shelia E., Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Knicks,etc. any day. Purple Rain was just on VH1 last night...any one catch it? Sex Shooter is my jam!

I love Vanity...nasty girl...LOL
too bad she is with the Lord now and can't shake it like she used to...although I saw her in an interview lately with NO make-up and she hasn't aged at all!

Might go something like this:
Sho'nuff: What does Eddie Arkadian look like?
Leroy Green: What?
Sho'nuff: What country you from?
Leroy Green: What?
Sho'nuff: What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
Leroy Green: What?
Sho'nuff: ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO-YOU-SPEAK-IT?
Leroy Green: Yes!
Sho'nuff: Then you know what I'm saying!
Leroy Green: Yes!
Sho'nuff: Describe what Eddie Arkadian looks like!
Leroy Green: What, I-?
Sho'nuff: [pointing his Shogun sword *it has tassels and junk] Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say what one more goddamn time.
Leroy Green: He's white...
Sho'nuff: Go on.
Leroy Green: He's balding...
Sho'nuff: Does he look like a bitch?
Leroy Green: What?
[Jules cuts off Leroy's arms at the shoulder with his sword]
Sho'nuff: DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?
Leroy Green: No!
Sho'nuff: Then why you try to fuck him like a bitch, Leroy Green?
Leroy Green: I didn't.
Sho'nuff: Yes you did. Yes you did, Leroy. You tried to fuck him. And Eddie Arkadian don't like to be fucked by anybody, except Angela Viracco...Oh and Laura Charles.
Sho'nuff: Does anyone know where I can get a Royal with Cheese?
Leroy Green: You can have my Big Kahuna burger. I can't really reach it.

sorry...Had to edit...Made mistake in there.
Thanks for the sound board link...Awesome!

I'm not a fan of remakes, and this was a classic from my childhood...but if anyone was gonna play Sho'Nuff, it's Sam Jackson.

I think maybe Hollywood is having issues with creativity and should go on vacation for a while until they find some REAL inspiration.

When a movie is such a hit that a remake is being considered, I would rather that the studio remaster the original and release it in a digital format instead of ruining it with a remake.

Remaster not remake!
