It’s not long before Laura want’s Leroy to be her bodyguard and maybe a little bit more……… When an attempt to kidnap Laura is thwarted by our humble Leroy as he springs into action. She’s hugely influential and much loved across the city. She runs and headlines the hottest best selling music video’s at her club the 7th Heaven. One of the hottest shows on the New York City street’s is mega star video jock, Laura Charles ( Vanity). Hot girl? Damsel in distress or ass kicker? He jives and dives all the over place as he ridicules and disses his “ cornball” brother and tries to tell him the ways of the world, like making love moves! “ There’s an art to making love and you don’t even have a paint brush! You gotta know the moves baby.” “ How about you! You string bean Rick James looking FOOL!”Īnd then there’s Leroy’s little brother Richie ( Leo O’Brien). Straight to the face of the big baddie as he stupidly challenges him to a fight. Johnny is pure comic gold whenever he’s on screen and get’s to deliver one of the best lines from the film. First up is Johnny Yu ( Glen Eaton) one of Leroy’s martial arts students. Both have equally brilliant moments throughout the film. I’d imagine he’d love a cup of Lotus blossom tea If he looks like he’s eaten his Ready Brek and you bad, you had better run for the hills. Leroy is a master of many disciplines from Goju Ryu Karate, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Hapkido, Taekwondo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Leroy helps out with the family restaurant business called Daddy Green Pizza “ Just direct-a your feets-a to Daddy Green’s Pizza!”Īpart from politeness and eating popcorn with chop sticks. Can he stay strong and fight all the odds against him? Different challenges will be put forth to Leroy as he try’s to find his special power. He will have to endue many obstacles along the way. He has to find that supercharge moment on his own. A journey to obtain the mystical power of The Glow. After his master informs him that he’s reached the final level of training and that now he will need to embark on a spiritual journey. Leroy Green lives and dreams everything Chinese martial arts related and obsessively idolizes his hero Bruce Lee. However it must be 30 years since I’ve seen it again. Rented it out a few times and later recorded it off the telly.
This was a big one on the must see list back in my teens. Had I seen this one on VHS back in the day? Martial arts champion and “ Walking fortune cookie” Taimak steps up to star as Leroy Green otherwise known as Bruce Leroy.
He’s a Bruce Lee fan who’s so sure he’s Oriental that he eats popcorn with chopsticks. Tagline – “ He’s a martial arts master who refuses to fight.
