The Super Weapon (1976)






























Starring:


Storyline
For the serious Martial Artist, "The Super Weapon" is the documentary that boasts no trick photography or special effects. You'll see in great depth the difference between the various kinds of fighting such as Karate, Kung Fu, Jui Jitsu, Tae Kwan Do, Tai Chi, Aikido and others. Tasks that appear supernatural to us are mere control tools in the hands of masters.

Challenger (1990, TV Movie)






























Starring:
As the world excitedly awaited what should have been a routine liftoff for the space shuttle Challenger, equipment complications turned the mission into a ticking time-bomb. Adding to the drama of the mission was the presence of Christa McAuliffe (Karen Allen), a school teacher chosen from hundreds of candidates to be the first civilian in space. Based on the true story of the tragic space shuttle disaster, this compelling account offers a poignant look into the lives of the seven crew members during the months leading up to the launch. Joe Morton (Brother From Another Planet) stars as Dr. Ronald E. McNair. He was the second African-American in outer space.

Note: This post is a little personal as Ronald McNair attended my alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University. Aggie Pride!!
