| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA violent and dumb exploitation B-movie martial arts film. |
| User ReviewChip HDolph at his best!!! Oh and Tia Carrera was HOT!!!! |
| User ReviewRoss MThis movie is the embodiment of awesome. It's action scenes are over the top as is much of the dialogue making it a great junk 80's/90's flick. The cast is nothing short of exceptional, only adding to the sheer awesomeness that is "Showdown in Little Tokyo". This film features Dolph Lundgren, Brandon Lee, Tia Carrere, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and Toshiro Obata. For my generation, the cast alone makes this a nostalgic piece because you have Ivan Drago, The Crow, Cassandra from "Wayne's World", Shang tsung from "Mortal Combat", and Tatsu from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" movies, all rapped up into one; gold. While the movie certainly may not be held in such high regards as say "Scarface" or "Goodfellas", this movie is a riot to watch. If you want to have some fun, invite some of your buddies over and pop this sucker in. You'll have a blast. |

| User ReviewHarry S"We've got a problem here. There are more bad guys than we've got bullets" Yoshida: You are dead! Chris Kenner: Hell sucked! We are back! [Kenner says some words in Japanese] Johnny Murata: What did that mean? Det. Kenner: Roughly translated, out of the frying pan and boned up the ass with a red-hot poker. Johnny Murata: There you have it. Johnny Murata: We're going to nail this guy. And when we get done, we're going to go eat fish off those naked chicks! "Kenner, just incase we get killed, I wanted to tell you that you have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man." worth watching for the above quate alone,100% bad acting,casting,soundtrack and the cheesiest dialogue ever,god i love early 90s action films |
