There's an R and B song that goes "I don't wanna know, if you're playing me keep it on the low" that I can't stand. You are sending the wrong message to the youth, sir.

Fire Power (1993) - This wasn't really my kind of thing, but it did the trick for putting together a new skateboard background entertainment. In such circumstances, it was more about what's not there. I didn't like it as much as The Dolph Lundgren alien flying disk movie, but it wasn't bad for what it is and there was some decent action and tension and so forth. I was intrigued by the idea of the Hell Zone, a lawless area a la Kowloon Walled City where "even police don't go", but they didn't do too much with that concept, other than use it to establish how the "illegal MMA fights that sometimes result in death" can take place. 

Gary Daniels and some other guy are on the case to find some gangsters who are manufacturing an "illegal AIDS cure". I didn't quite understand that aspect. If they are curing AIDS why would you stop them from doing so? If the cure didn't work, why would anyone buy it? Anyway, they enter the Hell Zone and also the Octagon thing, to face a bunch of fighters who look like the guys you kick and kill in Street Fighter but also, ultimately, The Swordsman, played by steroid freak The Ultimate Warrior.

3.99/ 5 It had it's moments.

59. WHITE LIGHTNIN' (2009)

52. Brown Emmanuelle (1982)

didn't recognise that installment... turns out there's only 15 ratings (and no reviews) on imdb.  had a little dig around for more info which turned into a proper rabbithole dive! ended up watching a documentary on actress Pepsi Paloma, tragic story.

Another one, addressing the people who were protesting The Passion Of The Christ:
"C'Mon guys, it's only a movie! Now did I just say it was a 'Good" movie? No way José!"

My favorite review is from Sid & Nancy....
Rex: There where a couple of punk rockers sitting in the row behind me. One of them said to the other, "This is like shooting up with people you don't even like!"

Oy 😳😅😄😆
