	Showdown In Little Tokyo Man-of-iron Lundgren and the late Brandon Lee throw all their martial arts know-how at the Yakuza, who are planning to flood the US black market with a potent new drug. The Japanese may not be best pleased at being portrayed as a nation of topless female sumo wrestlers and chauvinists who dine off women's naked stomachs, but the boys play along with tongues firmly in cheeks.     Availability: refer to store website Shipping: refer to store website	£13.59 at choicesdirect.com Not rated yet Info All items of this shop
	WARNER HOME VIDEO Showdown In Little Tokyo [1991] <I>Showdown in Little Tokyo</I> 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 <I>Tango and Cash</I> or <I>Lethal Weapon 2</I> (both released just two years before). Between career highs in <I>Rocky IV</I> (1985) and <I>Universal Soldier</I> (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 <I>Commando</I> (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 <I>Big Trouble in Little China</I> and anticipating <I>Rush Hour</I> (1998), <I>Showdown in Little Tokyo</I> 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.<p> <B>On the DVD:</B> 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. --<I>Gary S Dalkin</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£5.97 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
