a5c7b9f00b In New York City, a young man searches for the "master" to obtain the final level of martial arts mastery knownthe glow. Along the way, he must fight a martial arts expert corrupted with power, and rescue a beautiful singer from an obsessed music promoter. Just watched this movie for the first time since I was a kid almost 20 years ago and I have to say what a great little movie it is. There is action from the beginning and whilst this will never win any prizes for originality it will keep most lovers of this genre entertained. And yes the dialect is quite cheesy at times but this goes well with the directors decision to add some comedy into the mix. I found the movie "baddie" to be more annoying than actually threatening and I had to laugh at his typically 80s shoulder pads!! This is one of those movies where no concentration is required to follow the plot so just switch your brain off, invite a few friends over and enjoy 100 minutes of Kung Fu, Shaft Style!! The ultimate karate flick, this movie really packs a punch. In 1985 the world had no idea that a movie of such epic proportions could have been made by Motown. This movie not only raised the bar for every movie following it, it set the standard! When Berry Gordy, the genius hit maker that he is, set off to make his mark on the film industry, the first thing he did was get two of the biggest names in Hollywood, Taimak and Vanity. These two did more than light up the big screen they burned that mother down. This movie is a time-less classic, a definite must see. I give this box office smash 10 stars and consider it to be The Greatest Movie of All-Time!
