It confuses me that this movie isn't better-known. Having just looked at the other releases* the month it came out I can completely understand it not being a theatrical success, but it should have caught on via home rental. Nope! Always had a cult following, never anything beyond that.

*First week of June 1984: Star Trek III. Second week, Gremlins and Ghostbusters (yes, on the same day). Third week was dead, but the 4th saw not just Top Secret! but also The Karate Kid. The next week was Bachelor Party, Conan the Destroyer, and Cannonball Run II. I don't think Top Secret! stood a chance.

Most know him as Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid. The dude had an exotic life, and lived it to the fullest.

That's utter bullshit.

Every martial art I ever studied as a kid (aikido, tae kwon do, karate) taught us from Day 1 that you only use it in self-defense--specifically once someone else throws a punch or kick at you. It was drilled into us that we could seriously hurt someone and that fighting was a last resort when we couldn't get away. My nephews are doing karate now and their instruction is exactly the same.

I was in several fights before I started taking martial arts and never got into one again afterwards--never felt the need to. I didn't have to prove myself to anyone because my hard training in the martial arts gave me a sense of self-worth that didn't depend on others' opinions of me. Honestly, all kids should have proper (fuck McDojos) martial arts training . It teaches them discipline, respect, and perseverance.

Bob is kind of like the Crane Kick from Karate Kid, you really can't defend it.

Back up slowly while maintaining eye contact...just like with any other angry animal. ;-)
Once she aggressively touches me...Oh IT'S ON! Crazy is no excuse for angrily touching someone. I'm broken, but I took karate for years and have a high pain tolerance, so I'll do my utmost to defend myself.
In case this is what's you're looking for...sex is of no consequence to me. Women can injure men, they don't get any free pass to try. The first person to touch is the aggressor and deserves what they get in defense, almost always.
