I dedicate this piece to Julius J. Carry III (March 12, 1952 – August 19, 2008)

Sam Jackson will do, but there will only ever be one true Shogun of Harlem.

Well if you you haven't guessed yet, my dream is to one day be a movie director, and one of my all time dreams is to direct a movie that crosses over the worlds of "THE GOLDEN CHILD", "THE LAST DRAGON", AND "BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA".

I've been waiting for years for sequels to these movies, and I thought since we are dreaming here I will do one better and do a cross over extravaganza instead.

These films and others like Ghost busters, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Legend shaped my imagination growing up, and I own each of them and watch them all the time. I never get tired of them. I love that era when it comes to special effects and story telling. They didn't have CG back then, at least not on the level we see it today anyway, so you have to respect what they were able to accomplish even though it may seem campy now.

Anyhoo, since I will probably never become a movie director, I figure I would do the closest thing I could do to becoming one and that's creating a Movie poster for my all time dream movie. Technically it was suppose to be two posters. One featuring the good guys, Jack Burton, Chandler Jarrell, and Bruce Leroy Green. Unfortunately time only permitted me to do one piece, and I decided to do the villains instead because I think they are more visually appealing. I'll do the other piece later for the sheer joy of it. I had a lot of fun working on this piece.

Now, if you've never seen these movies before.

Frirst: Shame on you, your missing some fine cinema

2nd: Starting from the top the Characters are named as such

Sardo Numspa Played by Charles Dance in "The Golden Child". (Awesome British actor)

David Lo-Pan Played by James Hong in "Big Trouble in Little China" (Awesome Chinese American actor who does not get enough work in my view)

and lastly

Sho Nuff the Shogun of Harlem Himself. played by Julius J. Carry III in "The Last Dragon". This guy deserves an Oscar for his performance as Sho nuff. He actually manged to make such a ridiculous character believable, funny, an menacing all at the same time. (R.I.P)

Useless Trivia (Things I Noticed about the villains while Painting them)

1. All of the villains in the three movies are like really tall. Lo-Pan was suppose to be like seven feet tall, but James Hong probably is only like 6ft, and in some scenes in the movie you can see him wearing Plat forms. Lol Sho Nuff towered over Bruce Leroy Green, played by Tamiak, and just about everyone else in the movie. Sardo Numspa was a giant too, towering over Eddie Murphy in the Golden Child.

2. All of the villains for some reason prefer to where clothing items which greatly increase there shoulder widths. Lol I know big ass shoulder pads were hip in the 80's but these guys took it to a whole new Level. Both Sardo and Sho also like to were big ass over coats wrapped around their shoulders without actually putting their arms in the sleeves.

3. They all have goatees. What's up with goatees and villains. I sport a goatee, and I'm the nicest guy in the world. Lol

4. James Hong (David Lo-Pan) also played in Golden Child as a benefactor for Eddie Murphy's Character. In fact many of the actors in Big Trouble In Little China also played in "The Golden Child". John Carpenter (The Director of Big Trouble in Little China) was also suppose to direct "The Golden Child" and Mel Gibson was originally cast as Chandler Jarrell instead of Eddie Murphy. It would have been a much different film if that were the case, but still good.

I've watched these movies way too much.

If your interested I used a number of programs while making this piece, I went back in forth between Photoshop CS4, SAI, and Sketch Book Pro 2010.

Thanks to all in advanced for viewing and stay tuned for more Ultimate 80's Crossover art in 2010.

Good night:
