Harry Knuckles and the Pearl Necklace
Really low budget movie about Bigfoot. From the makers of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. They should have stopped after JCVH, honestly. It's pretty bad. IT starts out like "The Warriors" which amused me. Harry Knuckles is a hilariously bad kung-fu guy who gets hired to track down big foot. He fights all kinds of people in pursuit of the sasquatch, including punk rock nuns wearing lingerie. Every time he moves, whether fighting or not, it makes the kung-fu "swish" sound. It's hilarious. He even punches one of the nuns in the crotch for finishing move. Not sure why, but I cracked up. Harry's best friend is a Mexican wrestler. Together they fight more people, including Harry's twin brother, also played by Paul Caracas. There's some sweet girl cat fight action, but not a lot of boobs, so don't get your hopes up. Guest cameo by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma fame, who keeps spitting out quarters from his mouth for NO apparent reason. One of the most hilarious scenes is El Santo's (the meskin wrestler) wedding. He has to fight a bunch of people and one of them shoves a tube up Santos' rear end and blows a rat into it. It's classically stupid. There's ninja stars and blowguns and Harry gets stabbed in the choad with a knife (who thinks of this stuff?) One of my favorite scenes is when Harry's brother runs past a street vendor selling a box of puppies ad he stomps them. Completely out of context, but you can't stop laughing. There's a paddleboat chase scene (seriously, have I convinced you to see this movie or not!?!?!) The outtakes are worth watching as well.
