heavy metal is the law For those who still regards David Lynch as of one the greatest masters of surrealism in film, this video is gonna blow your head. Yes, it's the toughest guy of the 80's, and he is willing to teach how to be a better person! (you can't get better than this).From the opening song (just listen Mr T singing the chorus), to the last song (a hilarious rap song), Mr T gives you some bizarre tips for severe problems as anger, peer pressure, shyness and the like. What is more, all these situations become more and more surreal due to the erratic behavior of the host (the scene with the cello is creepy), who tries to show himself as a sensitive guy by not being sensitive at all(amazing huh?).Don't get me wrong, this is not just another 80's fest with bubblegum pop songs, break-dance moves, colorful clothes. On the contrary, this is an instructional video with bizarre situations, surreal dialogues, deep messages, forgotten glories from the past (New Edition), and of course, a guy named Mr T. I wish you could enjoy it, because for me it was to complex to understand.

As_Cold_As_Ice This is a classic kid's educational video starring the one and only Mr T.The whole premise of BSoBSF is that Mr T (or Doctor T or Coach T, depending on which hilarious persona he is at the time) teaches the viewer about things such as respect, friendship, and daydreaming (?).Mr T carries this thing, and that is what makes this funny. Ever want to see T smear egg salad on his face, or attempt to do the robot, or smile and take pictures of kids in slacks while talking about his 'cool style'? Here's your chance. And Stacy Ferguson, aka Fergie, is supposedly in this, but I couldn't pick her out.Other highlights include T being completely owned by a 8 year old kid in dancing, not saying words correctly when acting as a teacher, doing crouches while balancing popcorn on his head, the whole Style segment of the most hideous 80's style ever put together, T badly singing a song about respect your mother, a terrible Jackson 5 impersonator, and a fat kid who can't do rudimentary things like go down a slide correctly, or do a jumping jack.Basically, the whole thing is a hoot if you enjoy really corny and bad edutainment films, or like Mr T (ie everyone).8/10

Woodyanders Mr. T, that cocky, hulking, gold chain-wearing, Mohawk-sporting macho cretin from "The A-Team," hits a hilariously horrible all-time career low with this incredibly asinine build up your self-esteem tape that's specifically targeted for an extremely insecure and angst-ridden adolescent audience. A majority of these well-meaning, but moronic life lessons are set to either sickeningly sappy pop slop tunes or hideously bad rap songs that are further enhanced by eager beaver teens cutting loose something stupid with all these cheesy, spastic, herky-jerky break dancing moves! Mr. T himself barks choice rap music verses in a fierce, husky, guttural growl that's anything but melodious and comes across like an arrogant, egocentric, unbearably self-important and self-centered jerk (highly revealing narcissistic verse: "If you want to be cool/Just like me/Ya gotta try real hard to be somebody"). Worse yet, Mr. T has trouble speaking in full, lucidly well-sustained sentences, talking with a sibilant slur and frequently mispronouncing polysyllabic words. This idiotic, mush-mouthed, overbearing behemoth is somehow supposed to be an ideal role model for kids to follow and emulate? I don't think so, man.Broken up into various segments, Mr. T gives advice on assorted pertinent subjects by grunting lots of stale, obvious, hackneyed folksy platitudes; said topics include roots ("Ya can't know where ya going if ya don't know where ya from," the all-wise Mr. T sagely remarks, explaining that all the gold chains he wears symbolize the shackles put on his slave ancestors when they first came to America!), style ("Clothes express your personality, so express yourself, not someone else," Mr. "I'm your personal Yoda" T smartly comments, a point that's immediately negated by two tasty Asian harlots dressed in trampy Madonna-style exterior underwear apparel and a hot Hispanic honey clad in clingy gym duds ala Jennifer Beals in "Flashdance"), and anger ("You should use your temper, not lose it," Mr. T the exceptionally sagacious guru soundly opines, which for anyone who remembers his ferocious turn as Clubber Lang in "Rocky III" sounds more than a little spurious and insincere). Other hysterically dopey highlights are: a gust-busting "Just say no" evil dope section on peer pressure in which a bunch of stoners try to force a reluctant fat boy to partake in the debauched pleasures of swilling beer and smoking weed, Mr. T coming down real forceful on talking trash about anyone's mother ("Mother, I'll always love her," Mr. T tunelessly wails while an off-key chorus of dowdy moms supply crummy background harmonies), an especially mawkish passage concerning friendship (deathless hokey aphorism: "Friendship is like a clear day; you look forward to it"), and Mr. T making a gaggle of lazy kids engage in an impromptu curbside workout session by having 'em bench press a boom box and balance a bag of popcorn on their heads while bending their knees! Why, this uproariously awful Greed Decade camp artifact even comes complete with a tantalizing musical skeleton in the closet trivia tidbit: None other than notorious gangsta rapper Ice T did the vocal arrangements for a handful of songs that Mr. T mumble-grumbles throughout in the film!

hoopscardillo Somehow when human history is said and done Mr.T will be remembered along the lines of the greatest human beings of all time. I have a strange feeling that his 1984 film, "Be Somebody" will have an affect on the future like Bill and Ted's "Be Excellent to each other" statement. This film is utterly the best thing ever committed to celluloid. Here are some of the lessons taught-- 1. Instead of falling when you trip, breakdance to break the fall. 2. Treat your momma right because M is for the is for the pain and miserable groans when I was born. 3. Table the Label, wear your own name. 4. Mr. T wears gold chains to represent the chains of his slave ancestors. 5. A boombox and a bag of popcorn can be used in place of barbells for weightlifting. 6. Mr.T can play the cello.This film is worth twice it's weight in gold and diamonds.I'd be remiss if I didn't say, "I pity the fool who don't buy this tape."
