[Johnny arrives at his grandfather's deathbed just in time for the old man's last words]
Joon: I'll make you proud of me. When I grow up, I'll make lots of money.

100% Hilarity

All I can say is that this movie and its sequel "They still call me Bruce" are an integral part of any B grade movie night.

Johnny Yune and the rest of the cast pull off classic gags at all too regular intervals.

I guarantee that you will be laughing for months.
