I've already mentioned how The
Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat - Up, and Burnt Out changed my
life for good.
Doesn't matter, as in the place of all that stuff about internment camps that so beautifully complicated the 1984 flick is the drama of Mr. Han née Miyagi (Jackie Chan) losing control of his car on a dark and stormy night (because just as every chink knows kung fu, none of them can drive — Han totals a car in the film while it's parked in his
living room), thus opening the door for a
ragamuffin to come calling like some funked - up changeling.
