It's still banned? Crazy. I can see one scene that I won't spoil getting it into a bit of hot water but mostly it's harmless.

Perhaps I'm a bit of a bastard but I found the racist dialogue really funny. He comes up with some quite inventive side splitting stuff. I can see it really offending people but for me it just made a really effective OTT character. Almost a comic book styled villain and one of the more memorable ones in the world of blaxploitation (although Fight For Your Life isn't perhaps solely a blaxploitation flick). You'll be cheering on his demise as the film progresses. Great stuff. It's essential viewing and one of my all time favourite flicks. You should try and import it from Blue Underground or grab it off a torrent.
