America is crumbling. Its businesses, its gangs, its drugs all worthless, all left behind. The nation is ripe for corporate takeover. Enter the Yakuza, twisted perversions of Japanese honour and American style. They'll leave you with one hand to wipe your ass. That is, unless an unplaceably accented, full bred American warrior has something to say about it. Trained in the arts of bushido, he will return America to its regular gangsters and take for himself the Asian wife he'd always dreamed of. "Yeah, I saw you strip down for that hot tub.

Skip Segal returns to the program as guest emeritus as we travel back to 1991 as Dolph Lundgren (Blonde Dolph!) makes his 2nd Appearance on TNP as he's joined by Brandon Lee, in his first major US role as the wise-ass side-kick. SHOWDOWN is an absolute treat, clocking in at 79 minutes with a 58 body count (great ratio!) with enough snappy dialogue and cringe-worthy moments that'll give you flashbacks of early-90s lunacy. Directed by Mark L. Lester, who also directed CLASS OF 1984, COMMANDO, ARMED & DANGEROUS, and CLASS OF 1999, the film is action-packed with slow-motion gunshots, plenty of explosions, indiscriminate violence, and graphic nudity.

Showdown in Little Tokyo is indisputably a bad movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't a heck of a lot of fun. Starring Dolph Lundgren as Sgt. Chris Kenner and Brandon Lee as his partner Johnny Murata, it desperately wants to be Lethal Weapon. Unfortunately, it lacks the wit, charm, and overall directing acumen that film had. Instead, this is a low budget 90s flick with a seedy aesthetic that rises above its mediocre quality because of some insane, though unintentionally hilarious, scenes. Seriously folks, the way the villain bites it in this movie is one of the all-time great cinema deaths. All that said, this movie tanked. That wasn't entirely its own fault. WB, who produced it, hated Showdown in Little Tokyo, releasing it in under 200 theaters domestically and butchering the original edit. With such low distribution stateside and internationally, it was destined to fail. Boasting a budget of just $8 million, that shouldn't have been the case. There's a bathhouse fight, for Pete's sake.  Anyway, sit back, cut the top off a Kirin Ichiban, and if the bathhouse is rocking, don't bother knocking! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Chumpzilla are playing pin the katana on Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – One's a warrior. One's a wiseguy.

Auggghhh! Audio issues made this one late and a two-parter. Apologies. This was fun and watching Dolph and Brandon do their thing was great, albeit not quite as great as I remembered it. Still, a super fun watch and we will get to redoing part two as soon as we can. Thanks and we'll talk to you soon!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/you-have-offended-this-podcast-1.

We talk about the fun gem that is **Showdown in Little Tokyo!** It is home to some of the funniest lines we have ever heard in a movie with some great one liners.
