    I'm in this movie!!
    My cousin George made this movie when I was 16. In the opening scene, there's a karate class. I'm the one on the right with the permed and bleached (orange) hair. And, the girls standing in the doorway? Those are my friends... the ones with the perms and bleach. Ahh, the 80's.

    This movie is action-packed and complete with fake-sounding kicks and high-pitched screaming. I love showing this movie to people because it is darned hilarious! I especially love how things sort of "magically" happen throughout the movie without explanation. George does give an excellent performance with his martial arts scenes. The bad acting and the low budget make this an awesome cult classic.

    If you liked this one, you should check out George's other movies: Kindergarten Ninja and Hawkeye (aka Karate Cops).
