Notes

My quick rating - 5,2/10. I don't remember if I liked this 1.5 hour long 80s music video back then or not, but if so, it sure didn't age well. It never attempted to be a martial arts movie but since this was Berry Gordys flick (Motown guru) it was as I said, a music video. A few decent yet obvious nods to the legend Bruce Lee (lead characters name is Bruce Leroy lol) and other little references but go in knowing what it is. Not great but surely not something that still takes you back. At least Karate Kid had some action in it. This one, not so much until the end when they basically glowed in the dark. I satisfied that curiousity and sinec it took 35 years to do so, if it takes 35 more, well, if alive, I won't remember it.
