What happens when you take Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee and put them in a movie with terrible action scenes and even more terrible dialogue? You get Showdown In Little Tokyo. Yet somehow with all of…
This is a crazy movie starring Brendan Lee and Dov Lundgren, directed by Mark L. Lester, who previously, before this movie, directed Firestarter in 1984 and Commando in 1985, as well as Armed and Dangerous, which is a John Candy comedy that was in 1986.
I'd never seen that movie.
I don't know what that is.
And then in 1991, this movie.
Yes.
So after this movie, I was looking at his filmography and I'm like, yeah, he made it like some, some well-known movies before this, you know, commando is obviously huge.
That's a big action movie.
Um, fire starter, like a cult horror movie.
Um, you know, like massive.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Obviously this huge film that he made here.
Uh, and then after this, there's just a whole bunch of movies I've never heard of.
Um, All the way up to 2014, he did a movie called Dragons of Camelot.
But before that, he made a movie in 2013 called Poseidon Rex, which is just about a T-Rex that runs around eating people by the looks of it.
But he can also swim.
Well, yeah, they've got those big legs.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
It's a whole thing.
What a career.
So apparently production on this movie didn't go well.
