Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. To complete my Challenge to do a double episode drop, today I am back to review Hot Potato starring Jim Kelly. In this review, I trash this film. Some say that Hot Potato is the end of the Blackploitation era and the start of the Kung Fu era. If that's true, I would like a better film to represent that switch off. Besides, there's a whole other film genre that Hot Potato represents very well.
