I wondered a few things


I COMPLETELY understand that in the early 90's it was the HOOD Rated R Parental Advisory Era. I should definitely know, I went to a very very s---ty high school which some NBA Legends went to. Disregarding that...I wondered a few things.

Was Billy Blanks "thee" only Black Man in the movie ? Meaning the whole school outside of him was White ???? Hell, did any minorities exist in this movie ?

Were these suburban spoiled kids trying to "act" hard ???

The actor who played the role of the "principal", what was his purpose ??? He didn't stop any fights, he complained to kids about making out. He gave fake threats of detention. This actor played some good villain roles, many times. As a principal he made MY MIDGET principal from grade school look good.

If the school was soooooooooo bad, there was NO security.........no police around ever or anything. The whole school has graffiti all over it and I believe the principal is 100x softer then Seymour Skinner to say anything.

How old is the main villain ? HE had the guts to mock the main actor's hair ? The villain's hairstyle was the WORST of anyone within the whole movie. Couldn't they give him some $1 mousse for it, at least ??

1 of the bad guys from The Next Karate Kid is in this movie. He was bad here too.

Someone wrote, WHY is Billy Blanks soooooooo cool ? Hey Patrick KilPatrick isn't a chump either. This man is allllllllllways bad azz like he was born for it.

Thank God Mr Miyagi wasn't in this

Ok I'm done
