...I had to get this because I'm wu to the fullest. I do have to admitt thought that I was a bit disappointed, because the back of the video says "approx running time= 1 hour", not even close. The whole "domestic violence" short film was no more than 16 minutes long, but at the end of it there are like 4 or 5 music videos which really make up for such a short timed film. It does say in the cover "a short film by the rza" but I wasn't expecting it to be this short. Anyway it is worth the buy because all of the actors in the movie are wu killa bees and the videos are rare and dope. It be better if this was on DVd, I hate tapes but oh well, you'll live through it. Cop this piece if you are a true wu fan.

This video promotes racial stereotypes. It is full of foul language. Every other word is "m-f'in" and "m-f'er." Shows an extreme skew of very violent, racist, sexist picture. Does not include what normal domestic violence really is. Easy to dismiss it as this depicts the extreme. However, do need to give them credit for having the courage to deal with this topic and make a stand against it. It might be good in dealing with inner-city gang-banger or wanna-bes.

This is a very well writen and acted video. You have to take into consideration the budget the RZA was working with this when making the video. He didn't have millions to blow. The cast was solid and featured many of the Killah Beez which before this weren't well known or reconized. The jail scene was ill, as was the into part with the newspaper articles. I give this entire film credit and all the videos are good (includes "The Night The Earth Cried" by The Gravediggaz, which was also directed by The RZA).

The tape is alright. THe movie is really short. I thought it would be longer than that. The videos are kool at the end. Its a good tape for a wu collector like myself. Adios
