Spoiler alert: Became better than average when they decided that...


It would have been easy and lazy to make the Mr. T. bodyguard/trainer character a heavyweight whirlwind who could defeat the deceptively big Hudson thug character effortlessly. The fact that they made it a back and forth bloodbath was brilliant and is a fact that gets loss in the shuffle. The Hudson character at first trying to side step the Mohawk avenger who comically side stepped with him was also a stroke of genius on par with a Bruce Lee build up. Many films would have had Hudson running for his life or getting beat lopsidedly. This was thrilling and memorable.
