Goofs

In the movie, "Bruce" sees the Boss of Bosses giving Freddy the "Kiss Of Death" and mentions that he knows about the kiss because he watched the Godfather movies. "Bruce" also mentions to the Boss of Bosses that he doesn't kiss as good as Marlon Brando. In actuality, Marlon Brando never gave the kiss of death in the original film "The Godfather". The kiss of death was actually first given by Al Pacino in "The Godfather Part II" to John Cazale. See more »

Quotes

Anita: Bruce? Like Bruce Lee.
Bruce: Of course.
Anita: Then you must know kung fu.

Brilliant martial arts spoof
30 June 2000 | by (Sydney, Australia) – See all my reviews

The jokes are stupid and Johnny Yune's acting is atrocious, but this is one of the funniest comedies ever made.

Best line- "I'm a sex object, when I ask women for sex, they object"

Trust me on this one.
