The title character is a black man who was raised in a martial-arts dojo after his father was murdered by an assassin. He seeks revenge, and the recovery of his father's hachimaki headband, which identifies the wearer as the world's greatest warrior. The (very violent) action takes place in an alternate reality that juxtaposes samurai duels with cell phones and cigarette lighters.

Maybe I could save it up with The (white) Rapper Show and make a cross-cultural double feature.
The contestant Persia is also from Far Rockaway. Why did you punish her for using the word nigger?
The overwhelming opinion is it can’t be tolerated. It sends out the wrong message. She was using it from a place of comfort, and she grew up with it. But that core of friends doesn’t extend beyond that core of friends.

I should watch it anyway as Serch is part of one of my most favorite rap tracks ever, "Gas Face".
