Hmmm... mind your own business

Golden Killah is a very special movie. I first watched it with one of my extremely corny friend, who likes to buy cheap dvds that somehow can't be sold. To tell you the truth, i don't really remember half of what happened during those 90 minutes, but i can assure you one thing: it was one of the funniest and crappiest movie I have ever seen. If you like that kind of messed up extremely low budget flicks from the 70s, Golden Killah and The Massive are the best of the genre (yeah right...) memorable quotes from this movie:

antisocial hero: hmmm... random chinese guy with weird beard: hey my friend... antisocial hero: hmm... get lost...i'mnot your friend..hmmm random guy: hey antisocial hero: hmm.... mind your own business

another memorable scene:

random guy #2: hey, did you see a man with a golden mask and a red robe? antisocial hero: hmm... get lost...

or:

inn guy: hmm...my friend...(pointing at an ugly creature girl sitting nearby) beware, she's a cruel bitch... antisocial hero: hmm...

I don't think i need more examples to illustrate the extreme depth of this amazingly complex masterpiece. But i still wonder why the hero was so antisocial. well... maybe you need to watch the movie to find out more about his complex personality. I recall a number of cruel fight scenes (nothing great, but highly experimental), a couple of random people with silly hair, and an amazingly ridiculous assassin. But who is this golden killah? well, as the antisocial hero would probably reply, "get lost... mind your own business", trust me... you should follow his advice Common, do i have to rate this movie????
