andygatesOkay, here's the deal. There's this 80s video martial arts movie. Really bad. Too bad even for aldric and my Tuesday Night Specials (and they included Steel Dawn, forchrissakes). The hero's your standard American Ninja WASP-gone-chop-socky, the bad guy is a tall black guy called Sho'Nuff, "The Shogun of New York". Mr Nuff uses cheating sparkly-hands chi effects to bitchslap our whitebread hero, until in the final reel WASPy finally gets his enlightenment on, pulls golden chi all over Sho'Nuff's ass, and saves the day, the girl, the city and Mr Miyagi's honour.
What the hell was the film called?

Props to your deep, deep sadness. You win a cake!
