"February 12th Directed by: Mark L. Lester This is the good stuff. I didn't expect it to be, I had very low expectations, I didn't think Lundgren would be a good lead, and also this is from 1991, one year after the cutoff date of these movies having any chance of being good, but it prevails. I feel like we don't have these kind of characters anymore, Lundgren is endlessly cool to the point that it takes me out of the movie, in a good way.

"First viewing - Aug. 15th Lee family double feature I figured it only made sense to chase a film about Bruce with a film starring his son. For whatever reason Showdown in Little Tokyo was overlooked by me in my youth, which is odd because watching it now it's exactly the kind of thing I would've loved as a teenager. Watching Brandon and Dolph fight their way through Yakuza while exchanging one-liners is a treat. It's nothing great, but it's not trying to be either. It's just a big, dumb, silly "
