Jake Speed
When her sister is kidnapped by white slavers, only Grandpa knows what to do. He puts in a call to a fictional hero, Jake Speed. She is amazed to find that he actually exists, and that as flesh and blood, is much less formidable than his reputation.
This is a cool/goofy/fun ride with a stellar sound track by Mark Snow.

This is a great movie to riff. It is a take on “man literature “ like the destroyer and Mac Bolen.
Actually has a pretty good set of actors (John Hurt).
The African bar scene is loaded with opportunity
