Sho’Nuff Is Dead. RIP, Sho’Nuff.

Posted on Thursday, August 21st, 2008 at 7:05 pm by: Hunter Stephenson

Yes, it seems the rumors are true. Dammit. Slashfilm would like to call a time-out and mourn the passing of Sho’Nuff, the nefarious “shogun of Harlem” in The Last Dragon, and one of the prettiest and meanest villains in all of cinema. Sho’Nuff was also known as actor Julius Carry. He was 56. RIP, Sho’Nuff.

Discuss: Any last words for Sho’?

What is going on!? So many celebrities yes, but it seems like there’s a rash of black celebs dying. This is crazy.

I think I’ll have to go watch The Last Dragon now in tribute.

Whose performance was better? the late Julius Carry in The Last Dragon or the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight? “Why so serious?” is a good catchphrase, but it ain’t as hard as “kiss my converse!”

Sho’Nuff, Ernie Reyes Jr, and Bruce Leroy rocked The Last Dragon.

He also played Bucky, Rudy Ray Moore’s angel dust-addicted nephew in the truly great film Disco Godfather.

Damn! Sho’Nuff is dead? That’s just heartbreaking.

I mean, I freakin’ grew up with The Last Dragon on perpetual cycle on HBO in 1989-90. That movie was so much the s–t it didn’t even know how much the s–t it was.

(BTW, Brisco County Jr remains one of the least unheralded genre shows).

Now I’m rambling. RIP.

I just bought this the other week at walgreens for like three bucks. My memories of watching the last dragon on KTLA on a saturday afternoon will always stay with me. As does the soundtrack that I found at a car wash in New Mexico a few years ago (on cassette yo!)

Just the Title Shogun of Harlem was classic but his portrayal was awesome. He played it well.

RIP

“WHAT’S MY NAME?” “SHO-NUFF!” “HMMM, THAT’S RIGHT”

What’s Bruce LeRoy to do now???

Actually, he is what inspired Busta Rhymes persona - if you already didn’t know.

One of my fav flicks of all time - very high cheeze factor.
