We dove back into the Dolph Lundgren pool this week, and brought along Brandon Lee and Tia Carrere. Legendary SBIG director, Mark L. Lester made this glorious movie that's full of everything a piece of entertainment needs. Gunfights, fistfights, bewbs, and terrible dialogue abound.

Love how Dolph Lundgren can act, is tall, handsome, muscular, with multiple degrees in chemical engineering, dated Grace Jones and still has a career. That's a good life.

One of Dolphs first movie appearances was in the Bond movie A View To A Kill with Roger Moore. He has no lines, and points a gun at Christopher Walken for about 2 seconds. He was dating Grace Jones at the time, so she got him a background bit. Blink and you'll miss him.

"Because of being my dad's son... TOTALLY... SOLELY being my dad's son, I've had the opportunity to be in a lot of stupid action movies I've turned down." - Brandon Lee Thank you so much for viewing this cult classic! Brandon was capable of so much more than the typical dime-a-dozen action star, but this was the only way for him to get his foot in the door to make a name for himself in that era that craved another "Bruce Lee." The Crow was the only film where Brandon was not only appreciated as an actor but respected as such. To this very day, I am still his biggest fan.

Between this movie and Wayne's World, Tia Carrere was one of my biggest childhood crushes. She was also in an action-comedy called Hollow Point, which is another slice of b-movie awesomeness, but maybe a little too self-aware to fit into "so bad it's good" territory. Still a fun watch, though.

Mark Lester also did Armed & Dangerous, Roller Boogie, Class of 1984, Commando, Firestarter and Class of 1999 which you've already seen. If you want to see another great bad Brandon Lee movie, hunt down Lazer Mission.

On set, you can see in Brandon’s facial expressions that he delivered his ridiculous lines with an appropriate cheekiness, enthusiasm and cowabunga Sega 90’s attitude. During ADR, he was clearly directed to deliver them in a way that matched Dollph’s performance.

Happy Belated Birthday, Brian! Showdown in Little Tokyo is a classic. I knew the "big dick" line was coming(hah!), but I forgot about "I heard you coming" 😂 The body double for Tia Carrere was Tera Tabrizi. She did a few movies and Playboy appearances. It's funny Tia wanted a double because she went on to do Playboy herself at some point. Brandon had done the Kung Fu tv movie and a few other things by this point in his career. Always kind of hammed it up, but this was especially hammy. He got better though, did better in Rapid Fire the following year and of course in his last role as Eric Draven in The Crow. I think Brandon was great in The Crow in part because his character had no limits and he approached it that way. He said to one interviewer something like "You tell me how somebody who's coming back from the dead is gonna behave?" Thanks for posting! You have been on a real streak with these!

For those wondering, Tia Carrere is still acting - she's tended to do bit parts in stuff, usually only appearing in one or two episodes or as a smaller role in films. Her biggest recent role was as a regular in AJ and the Queen, a Netflix series from 2020 that was cancelled after one season. Fun fact: she's been in both Scooby-Doo and Tom & Jerry, as well as all four Lilo and Stitch films.

Tia in Lilo & stitch . I dont think I fully realised that. But I feel I did hear her in parts of it Tia as Nani, Lilo's older sister and legal guardian An aside, - Jason Scott Lee as David, Nani's surfer boyfriend Would also act as Bruce in Dragon the bruce lee story

That's the only thing I could remember of this movie for years after and how the baddie dies. Coincidentally, I've just got this film on VHS as part of a collection that someone didn't need any more.

I haven’t seen it for a couple decades now so I don’t want to overhype it, but I seem to recall Brandon Lee being a bit “better” than this is Rapid Fire, which is still pretty bad and yet has just enough decent cheesy action to perhaps make it worth your while! I seem to recall several nods to Jeet Kune Do in many of the fight scenes, which at the time was fairly unique (this was well before FMA became a favorite martial art style for action flicks) and a nice tribute to Bruce.

Rapid Fire is one of Brandon Lee's greatest films, as far as martial arts goes. I liked Showdown in Little Tokyo, I thought Dolph and Brandon made a fun, unlikely pairing. Dolph ain't lyin' either, lol. If he did manage to hit Brandon, he wouldn't know what hit him. He broke Sly Stallone's jaw in Rocky 4. Sly wanted it to look real, so he told him to hit him with all he had. Dolph didn't like the idea, but Sly talked him into it. Wrong move, hehehe.

@@davidbeyerle6996 Oh yeah, Brandon really showed off some unique moves in that flick. I loved the table getting kicked up into dude's face in the art gallery fight scene. That whole scene and the apartment fight scene were great. The fight scenes in the movie were creative, he used a lot of objects and the environment, to his advantage.

Much like some of the other commenters, I honestly loved this, warts and all. Yeah, the dialogue was a crime against performing arts (sentence the writers to 100 hours of community theater), but this was fun as hell. And yes, I was CRYING laughing at the Biggus Dickus jokes the rest of the way. Happy Birthday, Brian! Hope it was a great one, and Jason- thanks as ever. This has become a Sunday afternoon ritual for me, and I'm really glad you do it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for Independence Day weekend - y'all have a happy and safe 4th of July. Thanks!

hands down one of my favorite action movies as a child. I remember staying up late to watch on HBO. Mainly because of my dream woman Ms. Tia, and the sushi and boobs scene. I think it might be the first female bush id ever seen. I was A HUGE Bruce Lee fan and I made sure to watch any Brandon Lee stuff I could find. I was still too young to recognize straight to home video horrible movies. I just loved action, and this movie has everything. Bikers running meth, Yakuza, boobs, and the beautiful Ms. Tia. What ever happened to her?
