    This absolutely made my week. I've never seen this movie, but when I found next to nothing about it online -- I was hoping it'd be SBIG gold. And when Erin said, "I wonder if Jared is just laughing right now?" I totally was. Special bonus for the 'junk punch' screenshot to coax in all of those undecided UA-camrs. Thank you both!

    It is no shock that the guy wearing all the Otomix gear was the kickboxer. Otomix was a massive martial arts supply company that was all over the martial arts tournament and kickboxing scenes in the 90s. There are some movies where almost all, if not all, the martial arts related characters wore their gear on screen at some point in the movie.

      @@JasonBrant Another martial arts movie that might be a fit for you guys is called "Superfights." It is not as bad as this, but is a 90s martial arts cheese B movie (I do not want to give away too much). It even has Chuck Jeffreys in it, although his Eddie Murphy shtick is toned down a little (it is still there some though). It is hard to find for less than $90, but I found one place if it sounds like you might be interested.

    When we hear this man sing, THEN we can compare it to champagne and bullets.

      Singing would have put it over the top.

    So funny, especially the fight with Coke Hogan! Done him right in the twig and berries.

    I recognized the Tile Source shop and realized it was shot down the street from my grandparents old house. I checked IMDB and confirmed shot in St. Louis.
