1980-90m.-Aquarius Promotions
d. Matthew Mallinson
It's the World Karate Championships and one man will be handed Bruce Lee's belt as the greatest...although that belt doesn't even exist as Fred Williamson keeps reminding us. The best way to enjoy this cult masterpiece is to give in to the sheer ridiculousness of it all. Shot in a pseudo-documentary style you won't be fooled for a second but you'll love how sincerely everyone tried to pull it off. Skip the "half-time" recounting young Bruce's early life for maximum value.
+1 star for Mr. Karate U.S.A.
+1 star for The Hammer or is it Mr. Belafonte
+1 star for "Shit, fucking cantaloupes!"
+1 star for eyes plucked out as family entertainment
+1 star for Adolph Ceaser selling it all
+1 star for that old black man in the background, what's he doing?
-1 star for the half-time show
Bottom line
5 stars
