Even during the peak of the 1980s, the film remains an incredibly dumb and cheaply told story about an angry black man who showed everyone. Carl Weathers was definitely capable of more than that!

I love stuff like this. Carl Weathers is awesome, the action is pretty good and there's some good dry wisecracks. Yeah, it's a B-movie, but it's a great B-movie. And I love it!
