On the surface, 1989′s “Ghetto Blaster” sounds rather mundane. From the imdb page description:
When Travis, middle-aged, working class man, returns home to visit his parents, he quickly learns that his hood is rife with criminal activity and gang warfare. Quickly, Travis finds himself thrust into a position to defend his family and neighbors from the punks who terrorize them on a daily basis. Good thing he has a military training, enabling the man to become a one-man vigilante unit against the forces of evil in his town.
But watch the trailer, friends, watch the trailer. It’s got hip hop, street kung fu, exploding boom boxes, Battlestar Galactica’s Richard Hatch, and a clown riding a motor cycle. What a world, what a world!
