Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen ~ I love kung fu movies ~ I love mob movies ~ I love comedies ~ This movie is all 3 of these rolled into ONE BIG slapstick SUSHI of fun! I only wish the sequel "They Still Call Me Bruce" was out on DVD too ~ This movie may not be for everyone but it certainly is for me ~Movie Review: They Call Me Bruce
Summary: 5 Stars
I think I know a few people like him, (clutzy) Being undaunted by the fact that he is not his katate hero's little finger. He is happy with his version of the great master, and that what counts I guess. Regards ZyMovie Review: It's all about the Yune
Summary: 4 Stars
Johnny Yune plays an affable if somewhat dim witted immigrant who inadvertently gets mixed up with the drug trafficking underworld. To say any more about the plot would be pointless as it only serves as a device to spotlight Yune's silly stand-up humor within several contrived situations.
The acting is bad and the jokes are tired but Yune's character is so likable that you can't help but root for him. He's goofy, innocent, clever and has a heart of gold.
Oddly enough, the DVD has been edited of a couple of "tiny bits" to receive a PG rating that my old Beta tape did not have. The items cut were small and unimportant, but it seems strange as what's left of the film isn't exactly inoffensive. Yes, like many films of it's time, it has plenty of politically incorrect, stereotyping humor. But it's directed at everyone and so ridiculous that it can't be taken seriously.
I like this film probably because I saw it on cable over 15 years ago where it ran over and over again and somehow etched itself into my sub consciousness. I also like it because Yune is genuinely funny and charming. You may like it if you like other tasteless and absurd 70s/80s comedies
Movie Review: Quite a laugh after all these years...
Summary: 4 Stars
My brother used to own a copy of this on VHS, and recently picked up the DVD version. It's basically 85 minutes straight of political incorrectness and "so bad it's funny" type jokes.
I must admit to a little bit of nostalgia keeping this film interesting/funny (that's why I gave it 4 stars) but overall it's pretty hilarious. Maybe I don't have a very evolved sense of humor, dunno. I did find myself laughing repeatedly through the course of the film, which is all that matters as far as the "screwball B movie comedy" genre goes. A double-feature night along with "Love at First Bite" would make for some decent entertainment.
Movie Review: True 70's flavored B-movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This a true classic. I grew up watching this as a young kid and I love it! Johnny Yune stars as the english accent challenged "Bruce", a goofball of a character that is inexplicably trafficking cocaine for the mafia that he thinks is "special flour". Along the way you'll see more politically incorrect characters, jokes, and slang than you can handle. Dumb cops, amateur "kung-fu", one liners from cheeseville, 70's styled chicks and hilarious stereotypes! If you go into this movie with the mindset that it is a b-movie, I think you could end up enjoying yourself. For the TRUE fans of older Cheesey movies.
