  • Reggie from SocalIn the movie and TV section of this page, "The Perfect Weapon" (1991) starring Jeff Speakman was left out. It's one of the quintessential movies prominently featuring this song as, in the intro, Speakman is shown doing a kata combining movements from Goju-Ryu Karate and American Kenpo (a.k.a. Kenpo Karate). Speakman is now known as the founder of Kenpo 5.0, a fighting art that combines Ed Parker's original Kenpo Karate with techniques from Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
  • John from WalesI saw Snap play The Power the week the single went to no1 before TOTP in the International DJ mixing championships in Wembley arena. Public Enemy, digital underground and booyah tribe all played what an awesome day! I was 20.
