As iconic as this movie is, I find the casual racism intolerable —the one black fighter whose entire "style" is acting like a monkey gets the longest sequence; the only one who acts like a normal person is only shown when he gets defeated… and even Forrest Whittaker is presented as a clown. It's an unpopular opinion, but all the action sequences and memorable scenes, they're hardly redeeming. Some may enjoy it (which is fine); but for me, it takes me completely out.

I'm not defending this film... I've just watched it for the first time ever and it's cheap 80s crap at best...<br /> <br /> I find the casual racism comment to be a reach. There are multiple black fighters - one of whom practices monkey kung fu, one of the many styles on view here.<br /> <br /> I take issue with the quality of the film being so cheap. Terrible dialogue, terrible acting, terrible plot... Imagine Enter The Dragon meets Karate Kid by way of The Last Dragon.<br /> <br /> It's cheap 80s fodder. If you go looking to be offended by a 35 year old film, you will be.

@ovation Why a black guy who finds inspiration on monkeys to develop a fight style is something racist? chinese people do the same thing but its not racist in that case huh? what would you thing if it's a caucasian guy that does the monkey style instead of the black guy? this is just a western sense of pseudo-morality that only annoy other western people, ignoring how is the lifestyle of other ethnic groups. Stop whitening everything please.
