"This movie is a great flashback to the 70's and 80's. Leon and Jayne Kennedy were married to each other during the making of this film. It is a shame that this movie is rumored to be the cause of their breakup. When you see it you'll understand why. It is full of classic scenes and phrases that you will resight for years and years. And there are some "superior women" in the movie like Ola Rae. You remember Ola Rae fron Michael Jackson's "THRILLER". And she is a thriller to see. But you have to meet "pussy". Yes that's what I said.Now for all of you, who like to wild out. Your going to enjoy the antics of Madman Santiago. As well as the Cameo of Muhamed Ali. This boxing hit will have you chanting "Leon the Lover". This movie will make to laugh and cry. It will arouse your body and touch your soul. " [More]
