The Last Dragon Rare Photos: Behind The Scenes

Ever wonder what happened to Johnny Yu from The Last Dragon? Wonder no more. I found him back in April 2012 but was only able to have a quick exchange over YouTube comments at the time. After not hearing from him for the last 20 years that was cool enough. But now that I have really found him; back in 2014 I put him in touch with Adam Lux the guy who organized The D-Lux Entertainment Expo (Detroit March 28-30, 2014) and I met him along with Taimak, Ernie Reyes Jr and many other celebrities there.

We have keep in touch though Facebook and the coolest part of being Facebook friends is the seeing some of the great throwback pictures from the set of The Last Dragon he has shared.

Here’s a few of Glen’s super rare never before seen Last Dragon Pics

Glen’s tux was late so he had to wear jeans and a leather jacket, as for Leo, guess he was just too cool for a tux! 😉 RIP

Johnny Yu and Sho'nuff Behind the Scenes Knuckle Sandwich - The Last Dragon — This might be the coolest thing I have ever seen! Seeing Sho’nuff and Johnny Yu together again practically brings a tear to my eye. Glen said “Here I’m giving Julius Carey a knuckle sandwich, he took it literally and proceeded to eat my fist!” RIP Julius

Glen Eaton Martial Demonstration at The Last Dragon Premier 1985 — “Taimak and I went into our demonstrations. Taimak is a real martial artist, I was just a ham. Thats my mother on the far left and my sister Barbara next to her. You could see by my sister’s expression that she thought I was going to do something crazy. I don’t blame her, I was young and not too smart back then..” -Glen Eaton
