Leroy Green Quotes in The Last Dragon (1985)

Sho'nuff: Well, well, well. If it ain't the serious, elusive Leroy Green. I've been waiting a long time for this, Leroy. I am sick of hearing these bullshit Superman stories about the - Wassah! - legendary Bruce Leroy catching bullets with his teeth. Catches bullets with his teeth? Nigga please.

Leroy Green: The secret awaits eyes unclouded by ambition.

Sho'nuff: WHAT?

Leroy Green: Those who are bound by desire see only that which can be held in their hands.

Sho'nuff: See, now it is mumbo jumbo like that, and skinny little lizards like you thinkin' they the last dragon that gives kung-fu a bad name. Get up, Leroy, I got somethin' real fo' yo' ass in these hands.

Laura Charles: I thought that maybe it would be a great idea if I got myself a bodyguard. You know, like someone to guard my body? What girl could do worse that to have her own real life kung fu master?

Leroy Green: I am no master.

Laura Charles: You sure look like a master to me.

Sho'nuff: Alright, Leroy, who's the one and only master?

Leroy Green: I am.

Leroy Green: I do not even have a paint brush.

Johnny Yu: Well, you see, Leroy, uh... you know how you're always teaching us to master "the art of fighting without fighting"?

[Leroy nods]

Johnny Yu: Well, I did you one better. I mastered "the art of fighting... without knowing how to fight".

Johnny Yu: You see, people... people are afraid of oriental dudes. Give 'em a little move, a little scream, and lotsa attitude. Check this out.

[Johnny flails around move after move through the air with no intended target in sight making sounds like a Bruce Lee movie, then one of the other students kicks him in the head, knocking him face down on the floor]

Leroy Green: Johnny, to seek safety, one must go into the heart of danger.

Johnny Yu: [Rolls over to look up at Leroy] Huh?

Leroy Green: Hey my man, what it look like?

Leroy Green: Sometimes it is hard to live the way of the wise.

Leroy Green: [Throws a dart at Eddie Arcadian and hits an object near Eddie's face] Next time I will not miss

Eddie Arcadian: [Eddie fires a couple of shots at Leroy] Next time I won't miss either!

[a enraged and frustrated Sho'nuff lifts Leroy up from a barrel of water as he was drowning him to force Leroy to acknowledge him as "The Master"]

Sho'nuff: All right, Leroy. Who's the one-and-only Master?

Leroy Green: [rejuvenated] I am.

Sho'nuff: [screaming] AAAH!

[Sho'nuff, furious at Leroy for the "wrong answer", attempts to give him a fatal blow, but the punch is blocked by Leroy, who now has "The Glow" of power for the good; Sho'nuff groans in pain]

Leroy Green: [glowing in gold] I am.

Sho'nuff: [Leroy grabs and starts crushing Sho'nuff's left knuckles as Eddie watches in total shock; groaning in pain] What the... oh, shit... oh, goddamn!

[Leroy laughs as Sho'nuff's power is severely drained]

Sho'nuff: Let me go, motherfucker! Let me go!

[Sho'nuff finally releases himself from Leroy, who now uses "The Glow" to spin around his arms as he readies himself to take Sho'nuff on]

Eddie Arcadian: [shocked] Holy shit!
