In bash I can do ESC . which outputs the last line's last item.
How can I do that in emacs *shell*?
Use the !$ event:

ieure!electron:~$ mkdir /tmp/foo
ieure!electron:~$ ls -ld !$
ls -ld /tmp/foo
drwxr-xr-x 2 ieure wheel 68 2009-06-09 22:37 /tmp/foo/
ieure!electron:~$

You can also use !^ for the first argument, or !!:N for the Nth last argument. Section 9.3.2 of the bash manual has the full rundown, though it's somewhat lacking in practical examples.
