The Shogun of New York!
Okay, here's the deal. There's this 80s video martial arts movie. Really bad. Too bad even for ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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?

Shogun of Harlem, no wonder I couldn't find it, I was looking for a totally different martial-arts inspired bad guy.
Props to your deep, deep sadness. You win a cake!

Best. Movie. Evar.
Further trivia: William H. Macy has a very short -- but speaking -- role in this film. And aside from him, it's quite possible that no one who was in this movie every got a major role of any kind ever again. :D
Re: Best. Movie. Evar.
There isn't an active torrent for Robot Jox either.
Damn, there goes my bandwidth limit for the month. :)

The holes in that damn sword haunted me for most of the 1990s.
