There are some films that, as quickly as I put them on, they immediately mentally transport me again in time to my early childhood within the Nineteen Eighties – and one of many films that almost all strongly takes me again to the ’80s is the 1985 musical martial arts movie The Final Dragon, which my older brother appeared to observe on repeat (and cable appeared to point out consistently) after I was simply a few years outdated. So I’m very glad to listen to that Iconic Occasions is bringing the movie again to theatres in celebration of its fortieth anniversary. This presentation, which is able to carry the film to greater than 500 specifically chosen film screens throughout the USA on October 19, 20 and 22, marks the movie’s first nationwide re-release since 1985. Tickets can be found at IconicReleasing.com.
An “inimitable combination of martial arts, music, comedy, adventure, and action,” the movie was directed by Michael Schultz from a script written by Louis Venosta. The synopsis: Leroy Inexperienced, a younger martial artist dwelling in New York Metropolis, trains tirelessly to realize the identical stage of mastery as the nice Bruce Lee. One night time, his life modifications without end when he rescues tv persona Laura Charles from evil businessman Eddie Arkadian. Impressed by Leroy’s bravery, Laura falls for Leroy — however to maintain her secure, he must defeat a gang chief named Sho’nuff, the self-styled Shogun of Harlem.
