I love Jim Kelly. He convinced me from viewing Enter The Dragon and Black Belt Jones that, he is one of the coolest dudes on the planet. This poor excuse of a film is a strong candidate for worst movie ever . Hot Potatoe was billed as a sequel to blaxsploitation classic Black Belt Jones . Besides the return of Kelly of the Black Belt Jones character , this bears no resemblance to the original film . Lame and unfunny across the board . Every aspect of this movie is bad. Even the fights suck, which is a shame considering Jim Kelly 's skills as martial artist and that he was in Enter The Dragon . Which is the most crucial and classic martial arts movie of all time ! His sidekick Rhino was painfully annoying . Hot Potatoe is one movie that I feel has no entertainment or artistic value at all. This is one serious bummer and one pile of crap all around.

After the success of "Black Belt Jones", Jim Kelly does the sequel of it called "Hot Potato". However, the result isn't what I call a follow-up success. This movie is downright corny and Jackie Chanish. The sound-effects are annoying and silly. It's like looking at a live cartoon almost. This time Jones(Kelly) is in Thailand, looking for a daughter of an US Senator. He doesn't work alone he's got a new sidekick, and a over-sized fighter named Rhino(George Memmoli). The trio work with an uncooperative inspector(Irene Tsu), but they all get the job done. They meet with the impostor who later ends up helping them ge5t the real deal back from the warlord. Everyone fights off the army with their martial arts skills, it's funny when Rhino took on the big opponent. To me, this is one bad movie that should have been improved completely. I mean ever martial art movie shouldn't be all violent, it should be fun which it is. More action and less cheese. But without the cheese factor, it would be a completely boring film. If you enjoy the Jackie Chan films, enjoy this movie on your own terms. I did! 2 out of 5 stars!

This was probably meant to go down has bad movies we love. I just rented this movie hoping it would have been an amusing martial arts movie. What I got instead was silly brainless acting, and fight scenes that look almost funny instead of exciting. Jim Kelly(Williams from Enter The Dragon) don't get me wrong is a awesome martial artists, did'nt look much over when desided to do this movie. Some of his fight scenes were good. But the rest makes you miss Bruce Lee. You wonder why he did'nt get to be a big star like Chuck Norris. But most of the film is enjoyable. For viewers if you are looking for a funny Kung Fu film. Next to Kung Pow, you'll love this one.

This film isn't as good as earlier Kelly flicks like ENTER THE DRAGON and THREE THE HARD WAY and also not as deliriously bad as later films like Al Adamson's BLACK SAMURAI and DEATH DIMENSION. This film does have some good fight choreography but is bogged down by slapstick comedy and goofy sound effects. Was this film meant to be a parody or was it an accident?
