 Black Belt Jones 2: The Tattoo Connection

Gloria is an expert at Kung Fu, and along with Black Belt Jones, who was a friend of Pop's, they take on hordes of both ghetto gangstas and mob heavies.
There's so many fight scenes I lose track of them all, but a highlight is a suds-filled melee at a car-wash. It's enough to say that they're all bloodless, fun and of course, everytime a blow connects there's the classic sound of two planks of wood hitting each other.
As you'd expect, when twenty guys are trying to take Black Belt down, they each wait their turn as another heavy gets kicked in the moosh.
