That was really special, because Bruce Leroy Green in all his naivete really was very different from his little bro. The bridging of the gap between the brothers. Who wouldn't? He's a red-blooded American boy! The most meaningful part of this movie for me was the thing with the brothers. He's obviously hip, and aware of what's cool during that time. He's like a very young wisecracking Chris Tucker-type or somebody. I think Bruce Leroy's little brother almost steals the show, because he's such a scam artist. There is never a dull minute from the time we see the opening scene of the Tae Kwon Do exercises, to the final "battle" between good and evil, there's something keeping you there and interested. But it's kind of a positive role model type thing for the kids too, and I can see parents really digging that, thinking that this movie is a selection that'll keep the youngstaz outta trouble for an hour and forty-five minutes or whatever. *swoon* I can totally see this movie being a hit with kids back in the day because they'd look up to Taimak's character, and breakdancing was the BOMB. I remember all those songs on the soundtrack, and I remember how popular Vanity was during that time. I think I enjoyed this movie so much because it was like a time capsule of the 1980s. I recently saw this movie for the first time, and I actually liked it.
