Sho’Nuff Is Dead. RIP, Sho’Nuff.

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’?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BULL SHIT BULL SHITTTTT~!!!!!! COME ON. THIS IS A LIE. Say you're joking, slashfilm. Noooo, :o oh no....
  • 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!"
  • GregoryV
    Sho'Nuff, Ernie Reyes Jr, and Bruce Leroy rocked The Last Dragon.
  • GregoryV
  • Abacus Finch
    He also played Bucky, Rudy Ray Moore's angel dust-addicted nephew in the truly great film Disco Godfather.
  • BFFredo
    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.

    "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.
