a5c7b9f00b Two cops have to work together to bring down the Yakuza, while trying to protect a beautiful woman.
For 400 years, Japan has been home to a secret criminal organization dedicated to its own supremacy in the underworld. Ruled by an ancient, arcane code of honor, the deadly Yakuza have been among the most feared members of society. Even today, they are immediately recognizable by the stunningly ornate tattoos that cover their bodies, telling the terrifying story of their stature and career in a dark order that knows no mercy. Now the Yakuza are coming to Los Angeles. But in America, they're going to meet their match. Two cops are on their trail. One's an American raised in Japan. He's got the mind and spirit of a samurai, and the body of a human fighting machine. The other's a Japanese-American raised in California's San Fernando Valley. He's into malls, pizza and MTV. But he can disarm five gunmen with his bare feet. One's a warrior. One's a wise-ass. But together they've got what it takes to remove some tattoos from Little Tokyo. "Showdown in Little Tokyo" stars action favorite Dolph LundgrenChris Kenner, a man fighting for his adopted heritage and his family's honor; and Brandon Lee, in his first American film role,Johnny Murata, a guy whose idea of a good time includes knowing where–and how–to get his kicks. Opposites in attitude, once they get on the streets, they're a perfect odd couple. And what they have in common is their enemy–the Yakuza who are bringing a lethal new drug trade to Los Angeles, coupled with a macabre taste for violence and cruelty.
What a dreadful film! Yet I'm eternally grateful to my friend for suggesting it: I discovered Dolph! This film is a must for all of Dolph's fans; this is why…<br/><br/>Surely the man is completely unbelievable! I mean, is he physical perfection incarnate or what? He is an unending string of superlatives! He is epic. He is mythical. If I didn't refrain myself, I would say that he is god-like: a great immortal Norse god, champion of champions, hero among heroes, coming down from the eternal halls of Odin to grace mortals with his everlasting countenance!<br/><br/>In any other context, some aspects of the film's main character would have irritated me no end: Come on! Jumping over a car in motion, beating up four guys while holding a tea cup, smashing a door in one blow and from behind pulling out the villain one-handed, jumping down a one-story-height carrying Tia Carrere, lifting a carI lift my bed mattress, physically freeing himself from a crumpled car, breaking free by ripping through hand-cuffs, etc. In any other context, I would have either laughed myself silly or simply switched off… But, I must admit that in this case, I was completely mesmerized by Dolph's presence! I mean, all those feats of physical prowess are in no way less believable than Dolph's own physique! Should I then stop believing my own eyes?<br/><br/>There are lots of guys out there with buffed bodies, from track-and-field athletes to bodybuilders; and Hollywood has more than its fair share of them. But what I realized on Sunday night is that, by his absolute physical perfection, Dolph is an order of magnitude above and beyond them all! He is in a class of his own, by miles, and all the Apollos and Adonises of this world are flatly put to shame by the superiority of his presence! Dolph's physique is no less than a symphonic hymn of titanic proportions, where the purity and strength of each line echoes and announces the purity and strength of all the others, in a mannerineluctableit is complete. The admirable achievement of each of the parts–-each supple tendon, each contracting muscle fibre, each throbbing vein, the movement of each joint, the intricacy of each cranny, the smooth flow of each parcel of skin, the precise curve of each feature, whether small or overwhelming–-the unparalleled perfection of every detail tells of the greater perfection of the ultimate masterpiece which is Dolph's sublime body.<br/><br/>The soft golden hair, the deep and bright smiling eyes under the intelligent arc of the brows, the delicate yet strong line of the nose, the prominent and manly cheek bones, the laser-chiselled jaw, the sweet curve of the chin, the mesmerizing pair of full sensuous lips revealing a heart-meltingly disarming and immaculate smile… everything precisely brought together to compose the most supremely handsome face I've ever seen! AndDolph speaks, the unending sexiness of the voice: its assertive, manly bass, combined with a bright, resonant tone and a dash of youthful cockiness.<br/><br/>And I haven't even reached the architectural fortress below… The marble of his neck and deltoids–-artfully crafted solid buttresses bracing a tower of strength–-overlooking the pair of spotless shields which span the majestic pectoral expanse from strapping shoulder to strapping shoulder. And to complete this mighty formation, just picture, towards the beginning of the film, the interrogation scene when Dolph first sheds off the leather jacket, casually revealing to us the full glory of his steel canons, long and hard, sinewy, strong and loaded with power, a breath-taking display of what must countthe most magnificent pair of arms and forearms ever to grace the world of men!<br/><br/>And when, in the night scene, Dolph girds his finely sculpted loins. What to say of the black, tightly-stretched lycra shorts? Can they but reveal the most sensual curves of those firm and mighty buttocks? Can they but strainthey suggest a package nothing short of superlative in its proportions? It is now fairly clear to me that Brandon's rather lame comment about Dolph's Manhood owes absolutely nothing to fiction! In any case, it seems that in Dolph's presence, fiction couldn't keep up with reality and was left well behind, out of breath and exhausted!<br/><br/>And when Dolph prepares to fight the intruders… The close-up on the unassailable wall of abs, plated with the warm bronze of his smooth flawless skin. Andhe moves, or rather glides, cat-like, through the room, marvel at the supple dance of the Herculean pairs of his massive thighs and perfectly moulded calves, the knees bending and stretching, the ankles bouncing… Yet not even Dolph's absolute poise and ease of movement can hide the geological forces here at play,each contraction of the pulsating quads matches each ripple of the abdominal armour, in wave upon wave of earth-shattering might. Such stature and elegance at once, the heavenly marriage of pure Grace with unbridled Power!<br/><br/>I fall disappointingly short of the full truth if I say that, in all, Dolph achieves the absolute balance of disarming good looks and mind-boggling handsomness, entrancing charisma, unearthly grace and stealth, colossal size and perfect symmetry, supreme muscle-tone, unbounded energy and overwhelming strength.<br/><br/>In view of the rather plain script of "Showdown", it's rather difficult for me to judge of Dolph's intrinsic talentan actor! But if I cannot form an opinion on Dolph's acting skills, there remains however an unavoidable evidence: here, Dolph's presence and charisma are absolutely, completely and totally overwhelming. And I think this charisma reaches to something deeper than purely his massive build. There is some kind of almost animal magnetism to Dolph, and also a sense of total control and virility, combined with a Nordic cool,if to say: "Yeah, I am conscious of the extent of my utter superiority. So what? There's nothing I, or even less you, can do about it! Just try to get over it…"
Warner Brothers didn't give "Showdown In Little Tokyo" much of a theatrical release in the United States. Maybe they felt that there wasn't a wide audience for a mix of goofy humor and hard action. Maybe also for the fact that the movie is often unintentionally funny. Whatever the reason(s) may be, I still found the movie to be very entertaining. It's not a large budget movie, but it's nicely shot (though the DVD transfer is shoddy at times.) There is plenty of action along the way that showcase the fighting talents of Lundgren and Lee. There is also a welcome serving of humor, though much of the humor is unintentional (Lundgren jumping over a speeding car, using a thin table to shield himself from bullets, punching through a door and subsequently walking through a glass patio door, and Lee's one-liners being so bad they are funny in a way not intended.) The movie also has some other flaws like incomprehensible Japanese accents, and a very obvious body double for Tia Carrere for the hot tub scene (boo hiss!) But despite these and other flaws, I honestly can't say that I was ever bored. The movie is a mess, but it's an entertaining mess.

The Unrated Version runs approx. 20 seconds longer than the original R-Rated Theatrical Version and features some brief moments of nudity and some mildly prolonged scenes of violence. This Unrated Version is not available in the States but in several other countries, e.g. Germany.<br/><br/>The British Version is based on the Unrated Version but censored in three scenes in which a butterfly knife is used. Again, one can find a detailed comparison with pictures over here.
