So, what does this obvious Bruce Lee inspired character do in a military outfit? Depends on the cartoon or the comics! Let's talk about Quick Kick.

It's May 19th and that can only mean one thing- It's the feature horror movie See No Evil starring WWE's Kane (Glen Jacobs).

The marketing around the movie focused on the release date of May 19th so, here we are 16 years later remembering it.
