2. Don't underestimate the double-footed flying kick. |

Or the double-fisted shoulder smash, for that matter.

7. a corsetless Gil Gerard |
|
is still a tiger on the screen compared to the always-corseted Prince.
Gerard is fighting an alien. Maybe in the 25th Century the best way to fight an alien is, in fact, Gerard Style. But Prince is supposed to be intervening in his father's physical abuse of his mother in the mid-80s. Squealing and running at somebody on the balls of your feet, leading with your palms, was at best an ineffective fighting tactic during this time period.

8. It was actually a very lethal manuever in its time, Prince just |
|
had the unfortunate luck of not having his spark machine activate behind his head and make it erupt into a ball of fiery soul-glo inferno - thus completing the 'make thine enemy shit their pants running backhanded squealing fireball maneuver'
