The Last Dragon
“His family thinks he's crazy. His enemies think he's no challenge. But she knows he's THE LAST DRAGON.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A young martial artist searches for the final level of mastery while romance, music and a spectacularly confident rival keep interrupting. The glowing combat and larger-than-life personalities supply the pleasure. A conventional gangster subplot repeatedly slows a movie that is happiest when it can dance or fight.
