Samuel L Jackson Set To Star In The Last Dragon Remake

Shonuff

Another day another remake. we have news today that Samuel L Jackson has been cast as Sho’Nuff in the upcoming remake of The Last Dragon. We get the following scoop from the ritual caves of Yahoo:

Having most recently played a dirty cop in “Lakeview Terrace,” Jackson is set to star as a bad guy again in a remake of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy’s 1985 cult classic “The Last Dragon.”

Jackson will play Sho’Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a role played in the original by the late Julius Carry, whose spiel included asking ego-driven questions like “Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?” Each time his gang of thugs answered, “Sho’Nuff!”

I haven’t seen the original film, but it sounds like I need to. This Sho’Nuff character sounds outstanding and I need to see him for myself in all his streetwise glory. I am generally not a fan of remakes, but until I see the original I can’t really have opinion of this one. I am glad that this news has pointed me to the original however.

International Friends – what do you think of this news? Have any of you seen The LAst Dragon – If so what do you like about the film and what are your thoughts on the remake?
