Recently, DJ Vlad the CEO of VladTV did a really great interview with the star of The Last Dragon, Taimak Guarriello. The interview came out in a series of videos on VladTV.com. I’ve collected them all and put them together for your viewing pleasure below. Enjoy!
Taimak shares some real gems about The Last Dragon, Denise “Vanity” Matthews, Berry Gordy, Why there was no Last Dragon 2, Bruce Lee, Michael Jai White, his inter-racial upbringing, and much more. Many of these stories can be found in Taimak’s 2016 autobiography but it is really great to hear him talk candidly with Vlad on these subjects.

Taimak Feeling Betrayed by Berry Gordy, Why ‘Last Dragon 2’ Never Happened
This clip is getting a lot of attention because so many of us wanted to see a sequel to The Last Dragon back in the 80s or 90s. Here Taimak explains why we never got any sequels. I wrote about this back in 2013 in an article called: ‘The Last Dragon 2: The Glow – The Sequel that never happened‘ my thoughts were based on various interviews I listened to without knowing the exact details but my conclusions were pretty close. Taimak goes into more details about his relationship with Berry Gordy, contract talks with Suzanne De Passe and many other subjects mentioned in these videos in his autobiography.
