Fast, tough, sinuous, with a score of Jamaican reggae that jauntily accentuates its vigor, this saga of the career of a small-time pot pusher and pop star is a kind of Caribbean Threepenny Opera. It does not have the depth, but it does have some of the energy and a little of the fury, the same sort of lovingly savage feeling for the brash ethos of the underworld...

In the ring against Frazier and during the last weeks of his preparation for the fight. Foreman won the allegiance of flocks of Jamaicans, who sensed in him something of the same quality that had drawn them to Muhammad Ali.

Cost to prepare the bus, including two extra top decks, and shoot the episode: $500,000. In one bizarre scene in New Orleans, a Bond colleague stands watching a funeral. It is his own, and as the coffin is carried up to him, he is stabbed by Mr. Big's men. He falls, and the bottom of the coffin opens to take...
