Many of Brian's favorite quotes came from a little known 80's film "The Last Dragon." When you think about his fascination with the movie it makes total sense. The movie consists of martial arts fighting, a great 80's soundtrack, a villian that goes by the "Shogun of Harlem" and a hero named "Bruce Leroy."
The quote most often used by Brian, atleast in my mind, is the shouted reply of the Shogun of Harlem's gang to his repeated question, "Who's the Masta?"
The gang would yell in reply "Sho Nuff."
This video clip gives a nice intro to what I'm talking about:

I think I've been doing this unconsciously for years, but whenever I'm asked a question by one of my friends in which a simple "yes" won't do, I reply "sho nuff." I looked at my texts from yesterday and I replied at least twice to questions with "sho nuff." I'm not sure if any of my friends know what I'm talking about but I hope it makes Brian laugh.
Miss you Brian.

Justin: This is awesome. I alway thought Brian was talking about the song "Brick House." You can bet Brian argued "Sho Gun of Harlem" was robbed at the Academy Awards.
ReplyDeleteA remake of The Last Dragaon is being remade with Samuel L. Dragon as Sho' Nuff. Rhianna will be starring as well. Hopefully it comes out during the Holidays so that we can all go see this together and "pour out a forty" in memory of Brian.
