It really is. Probably the best, most recognizable "star" of it is the soundtrack that includes a few cuts by the lead actor, Jimmy Cliff. In the film, Cliff (as Ivanhoe) shoots some police officers and becomes a legend; in the film's song "You Can Get It If You Really Want" he depicts how, if you try to realize a dream, people will come at you sometimes in opposition. The song is very, very inspiring and lyrically, one of my favorites. I heard or read somewhere that back in the 80's (IIRC--I'll bet y'all are tired of me writing that, aren't you?), Cliff was all set to make it big internationally as a reggae star, but the industry only had room for one. That one was none other than the "Gong" Bob Marley, and Cliff got sidelined. Anyhoo, it's a goofy, fun film full of Jamaican patois that can be hard to grasp, and it's too bad that Ivanhoe (SPOILER) got capped at the end.
