The Perfect Weapon is a 1991 action-martial arts film starring acting newcomer Jeff Speakman.
The film relates the story of a young man, Jeff, who is trained in the martial art of Kenpo, and his fight against the Korean Mafia families.
Speakman was a student of and was advised closely by Ed Parker in the making of this film.
The film's taglines included "No gun. No knife. No equal." and "Just try him." and is the only well-known Hollywood depiction of Kenpo techniques on-screen.
The hit 1990s song The Power by rap group Snap! is featured extensively in the movie's soundtrack.
Jeff Sanders (played by Jeff Speakman) leads a double-life: by day, he is a simple, unassuming construction worker, and by night, an expert Kenpo student and master of his craft.
When Jeff lost his mother as a young man, he became an outcast and frequently lashed out at his family and society in an attempt to assuage his anger. His father gained the idea from a mutual friend, Kim (played by Mako), to enroll Jeff in a Kenpo school to better manage his rage and feelings.
Jeff, now estranged from his family and living alone, continued with his courses in Kenpo and eventually gained Kim as a mentor and father
