R.I.P. Sho’nuff

NOOO!!! Julius J.Carry III, who played Sho'nuff in "The Last Dragon," has passed away at the age of 56. Julius died of complications from pancreatic cancer on Tuesday in his Studio City, CA home.

Julius has nearly 60 TV and film credits to his name, but his role as The Shogun of Harlem is what he became most famous for.

He is survived by his wife, mother and brother.

Rest in peace, Julius. You'll always be the baddest mofo low down around this town!

I'm 38 and me and my friends watched The Last Dragon all the time as kids. The funny thing is, just last year I was getting my 6th graders into class after coming from lunch and a student called for another kid ..."Leee Royyyy" I had a flashback and I said as a joke "Who's the Masta"....Another student said "Sho' Nuf" I was shocked! It turned out he said he just saw the movie on VH1. I DVR'd it that night and watched it again!! Too Funny!!! R.I.P. Sho'Nuf! You were the man!

Have you noticed that this is the fourth famous Bro. God has called home in the last week?! Isaac Hayes, Bernie Mac, another musician I'm so sorry I don't recall, and now this poor man----and sooooo young. What is a going on?

This guy made the movie "The Last Dragon"--He was funny as hell (hope I got that name right)----If ya havn't seen it you should----It's also before Vanity put her fake little boobies away and whipped out the Bible. She's still weird on or off coke.

That is seriously sad. My boyfriend and I were just quoting him two days ago!

I remember seeing this on a Saturday afternoon on the local St. Louis channel in like 1980-something. It's a classic for sure and he's the only memorable part of the movie.

RIP Sho'Nuff. You are the baddest in the land.

Oh Lawd no!

Poor Julius, what a way to go. Poor thing.

I will always remember when Bruce Leroy told you to put him down and you replied,

"Whatever you say!"

Then you threw the kid down and his head hit the trash can.

You were the shit!

Why is God taking all the black guys?!? Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, LeRoi Moore and now Sho'nuff?

If he needs color, God could take Oprah. I wouldn't miss the ho.

I must admit I was looking at the tig ol bitties on the white chick but did anyone else catch the fact that when they walked in the theatre she was on the stage right of the shot but once Sho Nuff appeared she was on the left side. Damn they made movies for US real sloppy back then. But them thing thangs sho nuff made up for it.
