     Not to mention the fact that this flick gave us that epitome of discount disco, Jigsaw's "Sky High"....

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

The fantastic documentary Not Quite Hollywood tells some fascinating tidbits about that movie.  According to people who were working on that film, Jimmy Wang Yu despised Western women, and made a big show of catching flies and eating them right before the love scenes!

The Burgomaster

I bought a DVD-R of this movie a year or so ago.  You should try this one, too, for a nice, cheesy double feature:
