Product: Showdown in Little Tokyo [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Terrific Film. Dolph Lundgren at His Best.
Viewed: 5/12Rate: 95/12: Showdown in Little Tokyo is my kind of a film, and it is safe to say that it may be the best Dolph Lundgren's picture. Having Brandon Lee to partner up with him is an extra treat. What really happened to Tia Carrere after mid 90's? She was on a rise during the early 90's but had fallen off the map completely since then. Yes, Showdown in Little Tokyo is a stupid film with so many improbably impossible moments. I just ignore them and enjoy the fun. Of course, Kenner gets shot right above his heart yet he is fully functional and able to engage in a sword battle with an experience Japanese swordsman. So many bullets flying all over the place, not a single one of them save one hit any of the good guys. No matter how imminent death comes, they will always find a way to escape. Despite the fact that they are cops, the two don't really act like it and failed to follow the law by the book. As a matter of fact, they were thoroughly above the law the entire time and should have gotten their badges removed and sent to prison for a lifetime. So, why don't I care? Because it is an entertaining picture. I love Mark Lester's works, and Class of 1984 remains a very influential film. All in all, Showdown in Little Tokyo is a lot more action packed than either Rising Sun or Black Rain.
