Taimak stars as an African American martial-arts whiz, so devoted to his hobby that he dresses and behaves in what he thinks is true Chinese fashion. Taimak falls in love with sexy veejay Vanity. Gangsters intrude on both their lives when crook Julius J. Carry III tries to promote his talentless protegee into rock stardom. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Michael Schultz continues his losing streak as a director with this derivative dud.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Howlingly goofy artifact from the silliest part of the 1980s.
