Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dojo "Bruce" takes a lesson in is the same dojo that appeared in 'The Karate Kid' franchise which was soon around the corner about a couple of years later.
- GoofsIn the movie, "Bruce" sees the Boss of Bosses giving Freddy the "Kiss Of Death" and mentions that he knows about the kiss from watching the Godfather movies. "Bruce" also tells the Boss of Bosses that he doesn't kiss as well as Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando never actually gave the kiss of death in the original film "The Godfather"; it was actually first bestowed on John Cazale by Al Pacino in "The Godfather Part II."

Featured review
To answer the implied question about Australians in an earlier comment, I saw the film for what it was: a spoof comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed it as such. I didn't look for errors of continuity or consistency; that seemed rather pointless; or for any hidden meanings. I simply took the gags at face value and enjoyed them.
I would not draw any conclusions about "real" Asians from this movie; any more than you would say draw conclusions about any other nationalities from comedy movies. I guess that Woody Allen comedies would be a perfect example of how that would not work.
As for the best line, in my opinion it is:
"...and then I got run over by a Toyota. Oh, what a feeling".
