Loved that movie, as an impressionable 13 year old. I remember going to see it when we were on Christmas vacation on Ft. Myers Beach.

Sequels sucked but I loved the original. One of the first martial arts scenes in American films and dealt graphically with some controversial issues. Laughlin was one of those guys who did it his way or no way.

I thought it was going to be about one of the CSC guys at the Stroh Center retiring.
Dustin was probably disappointed it wasn't that.

Saw an interview with Laughlin awhile back...he used to live down the street from OJ Simpson. He said everyone on the block knew what a monster Simpson was as he would routinely beat on his wife and kids. It's a shame that he didn't go into Billy Jack mode and kick the crap out of him...
