JACKSON’S A BADASS AGAIN
You can tell Samuel L. Jackson likes to have fun in his movies. His latest effort has him once again playing the heavy, starring in a remake of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy's 1985 cult classic The Last Dragon. According to the Reporter, 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 mo-fo lowdown around this town?" Each time his gang of thugs answered, "Sho'Nuff!" Oh yeah, totally up his alley. The plot will be along the same lines of the original, centering on young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the Last Dragon. "I'm a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century," Jackson says.
