| Rating |  | | Date | June 24, 2005 | | Summary | One of the funniest movies ever made!! | Content
 | There are so many cheesy things in this movie, things that don't make sense (why does that wheel blow up at the end????) that this movie is simultaneously cheesy and totally funny. I recommend this movie highly if you find corny movies hilarious. |

| The scene in which Japanese-American actor Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa (who also played the father in the children's TV series, "Johnny Tsunami") and the actress playing a *smoking-hot* blonde drug addict engage in sexual "foreplay" with the kantana blade was actually very hot, in a cheesy yet very original and sexy sort of way. Totally worth the viewing just for that scene! |

| Showdown in Little Tokyo features some of the original Bad Boys of police movies.
I admit, it's a little cheesy, but it has everything you'd expect from a movie made for a male audience: Topless girls and kung-fu fighting. There's even a scene where a samurai uses his razor sharp sword to cut people into pieces. COOL!!! |

| There is a Reason Dolph Lundgren has been around and it's not because of his incredible acting skills. The reason is that he is one of the icons of cheesy action films. So when you get an action comedy such as this it makes for a fun little trip for an hour and a half.
The story here is that Dolph Lundgren is police officer on the trail of the iron claw, a group of yakuza run by a man who murdered his parents when he was a child. He teams up with a wise cracking Brandon Lee and together along with a sexy Tia Carrea they take down the Sinister Drug Lord.
What makes the movie funny is that Dolph Lundgrens character is an america who is totally into the Japanese way of the Samurai while Brandon Lee grew up an American Mall Rat and is a fish out of water at some of the places that they go to search for these criminals.
Overall this is a simple early 90's action film that appeals to those who like to spend an afternoon hooting and hollering at bad guys getting their @$$ handed to them as well as the usual gratiouse nudity and one liner moments. Leathel Weapon this is not but for a good low price, you can't go wrong. |

| This film is so naive, full of mistakes and too short. I love it!!! Dolph never looked better, and of course Brandon's moves are great as always. The plot is simple: two caps in Little Tokyo figting against japanese mafia and one of them is looking for his personal revenge (Dolph, of course). The greatst thing about this film is that Dolph is the one who is born warrior and live by samurai codes, and Brandon doesn't have a clue about his culture! Martial arts are on the level and there is a lot of funny moments (such as the scene where Brandon told Dolph that he has the biggest d..k he had ever seen on a man!!!). Also, there are many mistakes (tatoos are wipping off, doll in the car instead of man...), but it's doesnt't matter. This film is very cool and you must seen it! |
