I was rewatching the movie while painting this piece, when this quote hit me in a way that it had not before. I was ground zero for the James O'Barr comic, back before comics were cool again, black and white, very graphic, done to deal with the death of his fiancée at the hands of a drunk driver, a perfect 80s offering for suicidal teenagers. The movie isn't high art but has it's lasting merits, the most tragic of course is the loss of Bruce Lee's son Brandon during the shoot.
