Rapid Revenge What does the tattoo on Stone Johnson mean?

Monolith Johnson's ancestral home is the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific, he is a pure-bred Polynesian race. Due to the unique tropical island environment and suitable climate and rich tropical products, these South Pacific Polynesian body grows very strong and sturdy. It seems that his grandparents then went to the United States to make a living, and it is not known exactly why they engaged in the American wrestling industry. But their kind of physical fitness is very suitable for playing in this kind of occasion (oh, better than being a street hooligan).

Samoans generally like to tattoo on the body, this kind of tattoo there is to say, especially in the tribal villages in the prevalence of this is popular in Samoa and even today is still popular customs. In Samoan folk, tattoos represent the social status and power in the tribe (this power can sometimes even directly execute others), the highest chief of the tribal village (village chief level), his tattoo up to the neck and neck down to the knee joints, and in the middle of the tattoo to the middle finger joints.

There may be three reasons why Julius Johnson showed this tattoo in the movie:

One. Monolith Johnson still has a little Samoan sense of belonging to the plot, because he is also immigrated to the United States, pioneering struggle as hard as it is to come over, and may only be Samoa that kind of quiet and peaceful old home to make him feel proud and comfortable. He came back to Samoa in 2004 to honor his family because he was already very famous in the American Wrestling Federation and became a star, especially after starring in several movies such as The Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns and the movie The Scorpion King, his popularity soared. At that time he was in Samoa and had promised the current Prime Minister of Samoa that he would mention his name (Tualaipa) and possibly other similar references to Samoa in his next movie to show his Samoan origins and express his affection for Samoa. So the tattoos in "Rush Hour of Revenge" are nothing more than a means of showing his Samoan ethos.

Two. The "rush" in the wrestling champion is also from Samoa, he opened the curse of Johnson's sentence "geifei" is a typical Samoan curse sentence, the meaning of which may be similar to the "fuck XXX", anyway, it is insulting to people, huh, everyone to Samoa! Don't practice this line, or the Samoans will kill you. The movie again mentioned this point, undoubtedly is again to take care of the Samoan people's taste, the Samoa publicity and advertising implantation.

Three. Samoa resides in the island of permanent residents of about 200,000 people, but in the world of working and immigrant Samoans have more than 100,000, and Polynesian race of similar language, Fiji, Hawaii, Tonga and other countries of the folk customs and language system are close to the Samoan language, and each other can understand most of the language, tattoos are just as popular, so the giant stone Johnson in the movie is also the publicity of this point. That wrestling champion's fear of the tattoos on Johnson's body is nothing more than a footnote to their Polynesian islander identity; wherever they go, they fear the power that the tattoos represent, and even with their majestic physiques, they can't shake off the mental confinement that comes with the kind of tribal folklore and customs that have been ingrained in them since childhood.

From these points to analyze, that wrestling champion afraid of Johnson's body tattoo is a source of and understandable, if the background of the Samoan folklore and habits do not know much about, may be in the film on this paragraph on the understanding of difficulties.

The above is purely a personal analysis, if there is a better understanding of the situation of friends, you can put forward, I also learn to learn.
