 Old Humor July 18, 2009
Cazed n Donfused
In the 80's this movie was one of my favs. As I was watching it I realized that much of the humor was tied to TV commercials that ran in those days. For example: "I was once run over by a Toyota, oh what a feeling". There are many other examples like this in the movie that people who are not familiar with the TV commercials of the day would not get at all.
If you are familiar with the 80's culture, the movie is still very funny, if not, well there are still some great laughs such as the beautiful girl at the hot tub and the alley confrontation.
Classic comedy February 20, 2009

This is a great movie. When it arrived, it was brand new in perfect condition. Watching this movie brought back many memories from the 80's when my cousin and I would watch it all the time (this movie was also alot easier to find in the 80s). The comedy was corny at times but always funny. They even worked some 80's TV commercials into their humor. A teenager today (or Brett) might not get all of the jokes, but would still have a great time watching this movie.

Not much to say except that it sucked and I am glad that I did not watch the whole thing. Don't waste your money on this unless you don't care about how stupid it is.
See ya.
Quite a laugh after all these years... February 15, 2006

My brother used to own a copy of this on VHS, and recently picked up the DVD version. It's basically 85 minutes straight of political incorrectness and "so bad it's funny" type jokes.
I must admit to a little bit of nostalgia keeping this film interesting/funny (that's why I gave it 4 stars) but overall it's pretty hilarious. Maybe I don't have a very evolved sense of humor, dunno. I did find myself laughing repeatedly through the course of the film, which is all that matters as far as the "screwball B movie comedy" genre goes. A double-feature night along with "Love at First Bite" would make for some decent entertainment.

I guess to some this over the top slapstick comedy from the early 80's is the funniest thing they have ever seen. But by todays standards it's pretty lame/tame.
Bruce is a chef or something from China whose grandfather left him some words of wisdom on his death bed, and Bruce has come to America to fullful his grandfathers wishes. Bruce's idol is Bruce Lee and he wants to be Bruce Lee... only he a clutz and no good at anything realy. He accidently bubles a crime in a quickie store and becomes a hero for 15 minutes and his boss sends him accross the country delivering what he thinks is flour to people while at the same time being hunted down by people and the FBI.
It sounds better then it is. It's very dated in parts. I wouldnt say I hated it, I think i just got my hopes up way too high thinking it was going to be exactly what the reviews said it would be that are printed on the cover... however, even a movie as bad as The Slaughterhouse Massacre had a raving review printed on it, so I should learn to ignore those things for good.
The humour is very lame in parts, some of it comes out funny. I got a laugh now and then out of it and there are even a few classic lines in it. But overall, only check it out if it's under $5, thats about all it's worth.. i feel ripped off for having payed more then double that.
