Product: Showdown in Little Tokyo [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
OUTSTANDINGLY
Tia Carrere NEKID, a pretty stoner decapitated by a samurai sword, nude women buried in sushi? Sure sounds like a porno film, don't it? Well, it's not. It's got nudity, kung fu, and Brandon Lee and that's more than what you'd ask out of this film. The Martial Arts scenes are excellent, ranging from a brawl in a bathhouse, to a duel in a street fair. There's also twice as much comedy here as you'd expect, most of it delivered by Brandon ("In between cooking cycles, your'e supposed to baste us."). Dolph Lundgren is also fun to watch, and he sometimes rather inadvertendly contributes to the comedy ("Take this, point it in the direction things are, pull the trigger and they'll fall down.") For nudity, kung fu, and a very good film with Brandon Lee, SHOWDOWN is exceptional. Oh, speaking of Brandon, here's another of his humorous lines ("Kenner, just in case we get killed, I wanted to tell you, you have the biggest---- Iv'e ever seen.")
