Our next favorite ninja: The Last Dragon, Bruce Leroy.
The Last Dragon is the best martial arts film, period. Why? Because it has the guts
to go against the traditional Asian and African American stereotypes and make insanely nonsensical new ones.
In the world of hero, Bruce Leroy, all the Asian people are rappers, and all the African Americans
wear rice paddy hats and traditional Chinese robes and do kung fu,
even in the middle of movie theaters for no reason, which is awesome. And our hero
Bruce himself speaks with a bad Chinese accent, even though his parents are natural born Americans.
Because he's a ninja.
