Brokeback in Little Tokyo...
22 May 2006
Two mismatched L.A cops do battle with Japanese thugs who are planning on taking over the drug market. Although one of the cops has a personal score to settle involving a family vendetta. (His parents were killed in their sleep.) all the while lots of bullets and karate chops are laid out. This is not the type of movie you'd expect to see from the son of Bruce Lee, but Brandon Lee manages to throw a few kicks and play sidekick to Dolph Lundgren. The reason this movie works so well, is because of it's utter ridiculousness. Lundgren who weighs at least 250 pounds is able to jump over cars, turn over cars as if he was lifting a stereo and beats up three guys with a tea cup in his hand. Even funnier is that both Lundgren and Lee are too affectionate towards each other. For instance Lee even admits "Despite myself, I like you." One was okay to brush this off but then Lee told Lundgren he had the biggest member he had ever seen on a man, indicating he's seen enough members to know Lundgren has the biggest. Indeed. This is all probably on accident but it does make the carnage more enjoyable. And any movie that follows up a guy getting crushed in his car with a sex and decapitation can't be too unwatchable.
