Legendary Motown producer Berry Gordy produced this irresistible tale of a New York City fighter-in-training (Taimak) on a quest to achieve “The Glow”—the mystic final level of karate mastery—and rescue an alluring VJ (Prince discovery Vanity) from the clutches of kidnappers. A time capsule of breakdancing, early hip-hop, and music video culture in the early-80s, The Last Dragon boasts a groove-laden, synth-heavy soundtrack that includes the DeBarge hit “Rhythm of the Night.”
