Amazon.co.uk Review
Showdown in Little Tokyo is a 1991 martial arts action comedy which, in pitting Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee as LA cops against Japanese drug dealers, plays like a B-movie Tango and Cash or Lethal Weapon 2 (both released just two years before). Between career highs in Rocky IV (1985) and Universal Soldier (1992) it looked as if Lundgren might make it big at the box-office, and clearly wanting to be the new Schwarzenegger he is here directed by Mark L Lester, who had earlier helmed Arnie's Commando (1985). In the event both actor and director headed for straight-to-video territory. The 75-minute running time suggests the studio lost confidence and seriously cut the movie though, as the space between the action is filled with nothing but cringe-inducing dialogue, thriller clichés and Lundgren "romancing" Tia Carrere, it still makes sense. Basing its title on John Carpenter's 1986 fantasy-comedy Big Trouble in Little China and anticipating Rush Hour (1998), Showdown in Little Tokyo alternates between crude tongue-in-cheek moments and action so ludicrous it's unintentionally hilarious . A camp disaster which simply defies belief, this is stupidly entertaining so-bad-its-good six-pack entertainment.

On the DVD: There are no extras other than the trailer. The anamorphically enhanced 1.77:1 image offers a good transfer of a grainy print. The stereo sound is clear but for a modern action film seriously lacks impact: gunshots sound like a paper bag popping. --Gary S Dalkin

4.0 out of 5 stars Showdown in Little Tokyo DVD, 30 Jun 2001
By Kirsten Lyall (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a Brandon Lee fan's dream. I was a little bit disappointed though, as the only extra on the DVD is the trailer. I had hoped for more. That said, it is well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of Dolphs Better movies, 27 Nov 2002
I am a huge dolph lundgren fan and have seen all of his films barring one.this one is funny, action packed and has a decent story, but we all know that the story is not the movies strong point,the action sequences are! They are well coreographed and dolph and brandon make for a very humerous team but the love scenes are slightly cheesy.So what!, Showdown in little tokyo is pretty damn good and a lot of fun. I would strongly reccommend it to any action movie fan, rent before buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining, 23 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I bought this film not knowing what to expect. The fact Brandon Lee was in it drew my attention to it. I can safely say this film was far beter than I imagined. Many of the comments Brandon Lee makes are very amusing, a side of him I haven't seen in any other of his movies. I strongly recommend this film to any Brandon or Dolph fan!
