Movie review - "Day of the Panther" (1988) **

My memories of this movie are better than watching it again. The story is functional though full of cliches - white man raised to fight like Asian, very white dominated (even his Obi Wan is white - John Stanton).

Some camp factor like the aerobics instructor gal doing a "sexy" dance to the hero and John Stanton doing kung fu. Michael Carman camps it up though again my memory was that he was funnier. Eddie Stazak is fine. He has a decent look and can fight.

Typically fast pace, some decent fights and interesting use of Perth locations like the water and an ampitheatrei.
