    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Goofs
      In 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."

    Brilliant martial arts spoof
    The jokes are stupid and Johnny Yune's acting is atrocious, but this is one of the funniest comedies ever made.

    Best line- "I'm a sex object, when I ask women for sex, they object"

    Trust me on this one.
