Critics' reviews

"Like most cult classics, 'The Last Dragon' has now achieved a respectable reverence. Fans know it’s not Citizen Kane, but it’s still a fun time nonetheless."

Craig D. Lindsey: Paste Magazine
"The charm of 'The Last Dragon', and key to its lasting potency as a cult object, is how it approaches a conversation about race with humor, even kindness. Its self-deprecation forgives a multitude of sins."

Walter Chaw: Decider
"Schultz brings energy and style to both the fight scenes and the musical moments, mostly staying out of their way and avoiding fast cutting and clunky choreography."

Jeffrey M. Anderson: Common Sense Media
"An intoxicating blend of comedy, kung fu, corny romance, special effects and rock videos, it's as electrically sleepless as the New York it's set against."

Paul Attanasio: The Washington Post
"The movie is a real charmer, full of heart and a lot of soul."

The Hollywood Reporter
"It's so entertaining that I could almost recommend it -- if it weren't for an idiotic subplot about a gangster and his girlfriend, a diversion that brings the movie to a dead halt every eight or nine minutes. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The saddest thing is that this film, having begun as an effective parody of kung fu movies and Hollywood mysticism, degenerates into a series of fights and huge rock video clips."

The Age
"Michael Schultz tries hard but can't quite manage to tie the varied elements of action, romance, comedy and musical video together, though as entertainment, this is engaging enough."

Narinder Flora: Radio Times
