Featured review
When I read the comments that have gone before me, it seems that hardly anybody likes this movie. Why?! Some people complain about holes in the plot or too much drama towards the end, but I frankly don't care about a perfect plot in a slapstick like this movie is. I must admit there's less laughter towards the end, but even then the funny situations are numerous.
Of course, you can't argue about taste. In my personal opinion therefore, some scenes (like the 'trashing the dojo' scene) make this a classic that I'll certainly watch again.
