The Strongest Man in the World (G, 1975)
common sense media says
Dexter Riley trilogy falls flat in its final installment.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this film is geared toward kids, it has less to do with its youthful main character, Dexter Riley, than the fictional cereal companies that are vying for a strength formula he created in science class. Watch out for the belittling portrayal of Asian-American culture.
Violence & scariness:
Dexter throws mobster thugs around the laboratory and destroys the room and equipment.
Sexy stuff:
Dexter holds hands with his girlfriend.
Language:
Characters call each other "idiot," "numbskull,""stupid."
Consumerism:
The premise behind the plot is to create a formula that can be added to a consumable food product to increase strength and stamina. Most of the adults in the film are portrayed as money oriented and ruthless.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The strength potion taken by the characters could be termed a drug, since it creates physical changes after it's consumed. Cigar smoking by older male character.
