Movie Reviews of Showdown in Little Tokyo
Movie Review: Little Showdown on DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I kinda loved this movie in the 80s for the martial arts scenes as it all new to me back in the 80s.Obviously, if you watch it now, fights are just slow and cheesy.But well, its good entertainment.
This DVD has no subtitles and basically just the movie.
I wont comment much of the movie because it is a straight forward martial arts movie.I was hoping I could get to see some behind the scenes or deleted scenes if any.
However, the picture quality is pretty vivid even though it is a almost 2 decades old and it does have Dolby stereo features.
Unless u loved the 80s or a fan of either Dolph Lundgren or Brandon Lee,you may want to miss this one.
Movie Review: GOOD MOVIE TO LOOK AT IF YOU EVER GET BORED

TWO COPS [DOLPH LUNDGREN AND BRANDON LEE, THE DECEASED SON OF BRUCE LEE] GO AFTER THE YAKUZA IN THIS VIOLENT LIITLE MARTIAL ARTS ACTIONER. AS ALWAYS, THE ACTING IS MEDIOCRE. BUT, THE ACTION MAKES UP FOR IT. HAS LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS AND LOTS OF NUDE SCENES TO KEEP THINGS LIVELY. THIS SHOULD PLEASE MOST MARTIAL ARTS FANS.Movie Review: Very good fun.

Summary: 2 Stars
Showdown in Little Tokyo is one of those generic action movies from the early 90's that is so bad that's kind of enjoyable to watch as trashy entertainment. What makes it even more enjoyable is the fact that it stars a young Brandon Lee as a wise-cracking cop who teams up with a tough guy cop (Dolph Lundgren) to take on a Yakuza drug boss (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). Showdown in Little Tokyo features atrocious (and occasionally funny) dialogue, tons of cliche story elements (the bad guy also killed Lundgren's parents when he was a child), sloppy editing, and a training montage to boot! Tia Carrere has a thankless role as a damsel that gets wooed by Dolph, and the action and fight scenes are a mix of sloppily put together (the concluding fight during the parade) to well choreographed (most of Lee's sequences). All in all, Showdown in Little Tokyo should be unbelievably bad, but it has a sense of charm about it's comic book-style mayhem, and seeing Brandon Lee work his magic (there just isn't enough of him here) is reason enough to see this flick.
