Taimak Feeling Betrayed by Berry Gordy, Why 'Last Dragon 2' Never Happened (Part 4)

-----
In this clip, Taimak talks about feeling betrayed by Berry Gordy after being taken under his wing, where he ultimately turned down a multi-film contract after getting a cold reception from the President of his company. After feeling insulted during the meeting where Gordy himself wasn't present, he walked away from the potential sequels of The Last Dragon franchise. Taimak said he was traumatized and heartbroken over the incident, and that from there Gordy shunned him and never worked with him again.

Never remake this film it's one of those movies that captured a moment and a culture perfectly.

He didnt sell his soul so he still has his glow..you can see it💯💪🏿

“i don’t look to the past unless it’s feeding me spiritually mentally physically” that’s a good way to think.

The last dragon is one of those golden treasures that doesn't need a sequel, forever a piece of history!

[kevinsadler]

He didn't sell his soul for Berry Gordy. And was "cut off" by them because they realized he wouldn't let them use him and treat him like an "Idiot." Good for you My Brother.😁😁😊

He is still and always will be The Last Dragon 🐉

He dodged a bullet... sometimes the universe is your friend. I love you Taimak, you did your thing!

[SifuSmoFlatEarth]

Guys what Taimak is trying to say is, he refused to sell his Soul....

[tracylee]

I often wondered what happened to him. He had a moral compass. He still looks great.

[johnnyhotrod]

He saved his soul
He has no idea how much of a bullet he dodged
The industry is pure evil

[Useyno]

We still should get a Last Dragon sequel with him being the master teacher teaching someone young that reminds him of his past.

The Last dragon still holds a top 10 spot in my favorite movies of all time💯

All money ain’t good money don’t sell your soul for crumbs 🙌🙌

He's a humble guy. I wish he would have gotten other opportunities in entertainment.

Taimak should not feel too bad. Many of the Motown artists got F'd over. Suzanne DePasse is a big creep!

“You simply have to try and be happy in this crazy world, you can’t let the evils of this world take you in.” -Taimak, 1985

You still inspired this kid to stick with martial arts for 30 years and I discovered a love for music all due to this film. Thank you!

Berry Gordy is to musicians and actors what Don King is to boxers.
