When Kung fu movies hit American shores in the 1960’s and 70s, they left a lasting impact on the martial arts scene in New York City. In turn, the city’s martial arts scene made its mark on American cinema, most notably with the release of the 1985 film The Last Dragon. In Part Two of Flatbush Fists, Louis Venosta, Taimak Guarriello, and Ron van Clief - the writer, star, and martial arts choreographer of the film - and World Karate Federation Hall of Famer Sifu Carl Albright, recount how this classic cult film captured this moment of cultural cross-pollination in 1980's New York.
