Between career highs in\nRocky IV (1985) and\nUniversal Soldier (1992), Lundgren looked as if he might make it big at the box office, and clearly wanting to be the new Schwarzenegger he is here directed by Mark L Lester, who had earlier helmed Ah-nold's\nCommando (1985). In the event both actor and director headed for straight-to-video territory, while Lee (Bruce's son) went on to\nThe Crow. The 75-minute running time suggests the studio lost confidence and seriously cut the movie though, as the space between the action is filled with nothing but cringe-inducing dialogue, thriller clichés, and Lundgren \"romancing\" Tia Carrere, it still makes sense. Basing its title on John Carpenter's 1986 fantasy-comedy\nBig Trouble in Little China and anticipating\nRush Hour (1998),\nShowdown in Little Tokyo alternates between crude tongue-in-cheek moments and action so ludicrous it's unintentionally hilarious . A camp disaster that simply defies belief, this is so-bad-it's-good entertainment.\n--Gary S.
