I just want you to know you have the biggest...

This movie is wonderfully horrible.
Its got everything you need, lots of nudity, violence, stereotypical gangs (black, bikers and Asians oh my), wonderful acting (mostly by Dolf), superb dialogue, whew I have to rest for a bit before I go on....


Ok , I'm back, and to top it all off its got a training montage by Dolf and its not even a fight movie. After that Dolf dressed up like an anime karate kid and kicks ass!!! Oh ya and Brandon Lee is in it, he sucks.

I give this 1.5 spinning, on fire from fireworks, dead guys out of 5



Here's Dolf and one of the bad guys.

You have the right to remain dead!

Elisa and I watched Showdown in Little Tokyo last night.

One word review: Wow! not in a good way

Another one word review: Sorry

This movie was not what I was expecting. I honestly thought it was going to be a buddy cop movie or something (like rush hour or lethal weapon.)

I’m not sure what this was. It was kind of like a buddy cop movie, but it really wasn’t. The story was boring, the acting was terrible, no characters meshed, and the overall tone didn’t make sense. It was sometimes light hearted, but then they would throw in a topless lady or slice off someone's limb.

Sometimes a movie can be so bad that it goes full circle until it's good again.

Showdown in little Tokyo almost made it back to the good side. It was close but no cigar.

The Goods: Some things were pretty fun. Exploding parade floats, cheesy acting, stuffing underwear full of weapons.

The Bads: Overwhelming feeling of 'this isn't very good'

I’m giving this 2 car tipping Dolph Lundgrens out of 5

Anyone want to buy a dvd for $3.50+tax?


I didn't know what to draw so I drew that poor guy who cut his finger off.

Dolph should have stuck to golf. (For this movie at least)

I am always a fan of martial arts movies but this one was an exception. Brandon Lee's random quirky comments and the extremely slow fight scenes made it more like Kindergarten Cop then Bad Boys. Which is fine if you are trying to achieve a Kindergarten Copesk movie, but I don't think that's what they were going for.
With such a large budget they could have done much better. I think most of the funds went to shirtless ladies and pyrotechnics. I never realized that the spinny, round, knife throwing target was so flammable and dangerous! You learn something new everyday.


Overall this movie was a big "meh!" in my books. The story was non original, it had lame lines and boring fight scenes. They didn't even use Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren to their full potential for martial arts. Who knew Japanese warriors use guns! Oh and let's not forget about that terrible leather jacket and the too big suits everyone wore!!!! Yuck.
I give this movie 1.75 bulging biceps out of 5

Sorry in advance.
