Like a Jackie Chan movie, you need to put aside some silliness and just enjoy. This is one of those movies. Some of the dialogue is ridiculous as are the fights. The wardrobe is also silly especially based on today's standards. Going off today's skateboarding skills, the tricks are also underwhelming. Al that said, this is a period film. It fit the 1980s. For those of us alive in the 80's this is part of the culture during that time and watching it again today bring me back to those innocent times in such a perfect way. This movie will always have a special place in my heart. I just read that the main female lead passed away a few years ago at what I would call too early. I obviously don't know her, but the film was a part of my youth and so it makes me sad to know the rough news. In a more light-hearted subject, it's pretty frickin cool that the main lead in this movie ultimately becomes Thanos.
