	The Audio Revolution DVD Review Showdown In Little Tokyo
		'Showdown in Little Tokyo' has such modest ambitions that you don't want to rag on it too hard.
		Director Mark Lester has visual fun contrasting the fairy-tale colors of the Little Tokyo streets at night with the gray-brown grungy interior of a boxing ring in Chapter 2, which also brings on the first volley of gunfire.
		There plenty of energy and inventiveness in the violence throughout 'Showdown': there's a suicide by surprising means in Chapter 4, a vigorous bathhouse brawl in Chapter 12 and a Saturday-afternoon-serial set of perils for the heroes in Chapter 17.

		Lundgren, Lee and Tagawa are all graceful and physically powerful performers--Tagawa also has a world-class sneer that makes him ideal for this sort of villainy--but 'Showdown in Little Tokyo' should not been seen soon after watching, say, anything with Jackie Chan or directed by John Woo.

		Showdown in Little Tokyo is a 1991 martial arts action-comedy that, in pitting Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee as L.A. cops against Japanese drug dealers, plays like a B-movie Tango and Cash or Lethal Weapon 2 (both released just two years before).
		The story here is that Dolph Lundgren is police officer on the trail of the iron claw, a group of yakuza run by a man who murdered his parents when he was a child.
		In the end, Showdown is ok, an average movie with nothing too exciting that will make you want to watch it again anytime soon.

	Showdown In Little Tokyo Review \| TVGuide.com
		Yoshida is a powerful member of the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, and the residents of Little Tokyo are terrified.
		Played out on the streets of Little Tokyo amidst a colorful street fair, it's as ritualized as a Western showdown and the outcome as predictable.
		Little Tokyo is an acceptably exotic location, and the famous Yakuza full-body tattoos displayed by Yoshida and his gang provide some visual diversion.

	Showdown In Little Tokyo (1991)
		Okay, so you have to be a raving fan of either one of these actors to consider investing thirty-five dollars in a film that runs for less than eighty minutes, but those of you who enjoy unabashed action will have no problem with this effort.
		The story begins in a little Japanese restaurant in the section of Los Angeles that is known as Little Tokyo, with Kenner sitting to eat when a mob of gangsters, led by Sato (Toshirô Obata), decide to drop by and stand over the owner.
		Short, sweet, and to the point, Showdown In Little Tokyo is more fun than even I thought it would be, although I still caution that only fans of action or naked women need apply.

	DOLPH :: Showdown in Little Tokyo
		But together they've got what it takes to remove some tattoos from Little Tokyo.
		"Showdown in Little Tokyo" stars action favorite Dolph Lundgren as Chris Kenner, a man fighting for his adopted heritage and his family's honor; and Brandon Lee, in his first American film role, as Johnny Murata, a guy whose idea of a good time includes knowing where--and how--to get his kicks.
		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.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Showdown in Little Tokyo \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Showdown in Little Tokyo," however, is so dumb it makes "The Hitman" look like Oscar material.
		To call this one over the top is to understate, as Lundgren is such a super-cop he is able to leap over a car as it races toward him, without even skidding on the roof.
		Lundgren's beat is the Little Tokyo section of Los Angeles, where he is reluctantly teamed with Brandon Lee (real-life son of the late martial-arts star Bruce Lee).

		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).
		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 was a little bit disappointed though, as the only extra on the DVD is the trailer.

		The plot is simple: two caps in Little Tokyo figting against japanese mafia and one of them is looking for his personal revenge (Dolph, of course).
		"Showdown in Little Tokyo" needs to be seen to be believed.
		SHOWDOWN is very well made, very funny, and very action-packed (although it would only have helped if it were 10 or 15 minutes longer.)All the action scenes are well done, ranging from a brawl in a bathhouse, to a duel in a colorful street fair.

		SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO is basically a by-the-numbers action picture, but what gives it that little something extra is that director Mark L. Lester (TRUCK STOP WOMEN and FIRESTARTER) has obviously been studying Hong Kong action films and does a fair job of matching their breakneck pace and jaw-dropping action sequences.

	High Impact Reviews: Showdown in Little Tokyo
		In the heart of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, Detective Chris Kenner has been nabbing crooks for a while now, especially those of the Yakuza organization.
		It is reminiscent as a low budgeted version of Riggs and Murtaugh, the buddy cops from Lethal Weapon (coincidentally both films were made from Warner Bros.).
		The Bottom Line: Showdown in Little Tokyo may be seen as a low budget Lethal Weapon but the martial arts action heavily make up and the two contrasting styles of Lee and Lundgren make this one to check out.

	Movie Review of Showdown In Little Tokyo only at RuthlessReviews.Com
		But again, Showdown proves to be the champ.
		Lee was ripped, but he looked like a little girl next to Dolph.
		It’s the sweetest example of a cinematic valedictory – Robert Altman, aging, frail, yet still teeming with wit and insight – faces the cold breath of mortality with A Prairie Home Companion, a delightful ode to endings; some happy, some not, but all unfailingly inevitable.

		But No, the damn executives had to spoil it and let us know that Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee were showdowning in little tokyo.
		If anything else Showdown In Little Tokyo is about militant gayness that can only be expressed by kicking and killing the yakuza, sure Tia's got her head on Dolph's shoulder but it was only Brandon who he would die for.
		In either case, that was a good thing, because "Showdown in Little Tokyo" is a career-stopping movie.

	ColorQ Review: Showdown in Little Tokyo
		This alone does not necessarily qualify Showdown in Little Tokyo as a racist movie.
		One can easily believe the captive of a sexual pervert would have such easy access to ritual weapons and be given the time and space to plan and perform an elaborate ritual suicide!
		The movie ends with the residents of Little Tokyo bowing low to the white guy for killing off the Japanese bad guy.

		Dolph plays "an American samurai" teaming with Brandon as a "valley dude quipster with lots of fight in him" (the box description's exact words) to take on nasty Yakuza Tagawa, who seems to have cornered the market on playing nasty Japanese dudes in cheap US movies.
		There's very little action, and what is in there is truly awful.
		Some people, myself included, enjoy "good" bad movies, but Showdown in Little Tokyo is so horrible you won't even want to waste your time trying your best "Mystery Science Theatre" impressions on it.
