Someone want to eat sushi?

This high action film begins with a certain Detective Kenner breaking up an illegal fighting ring. He fights all of the men that he does not get in a fight with get away. Next he is shown in a Japenese cafe where the owner is being propositioned by the Japanese mob the Yakuza to insist that she pay them for the protection they will provide to her. Kenner takes up for her and another fight ensues. A man from outside steps in and before Kenner knows it, they have guns drawn on each other. To his dismay, this younger more inexperienced cop to him is his new partner Jake Murata. One guy is left from that fight and Jake and Kenner bring him into the station where they find out that he is involved with an organization called the Iron Claw before he kills himself. After a young woman who worked at the Bonsai Club with Tanaka is killed, the two investigate and find out that more is going on with the Iron Claw than just murder. Can the two detectives stop what is happening before it infects the whole United States?

Surprisingly, this is one of my favorite Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee films. I remember seeing Brandon Lee in this film before watching the Crow or Rapid Fire. He was goofy in this movie but in a comical and likeable sort of way. Dolph Lundgren also looked extremely hot in this movie which is probably why we saw this first. Besides the guys being on the up side, the fighting scenes were great and beautifully choreographed. i loved watching Brandon Lee in his action fight scenes!

On the downside, I could have done without some of the nudity in this movie as well as the language, but I guess you can't have everything.

Regardless of anything else, it is still one of my favorite films!

I rate this film: 9
