Showdown in Little Tokyo

The smartest action hero and Bruce Lee's son are two LA cops that  go up against the Yakuza in little Tokyo.  And they go FEET FIRST!  Whatever that means.  I mean it's in the tag line and it sounds cool and all but what on earth are you talking about?  There's more to do with feet in a veggie tales movie and they don't even have any.  Okay, that aside, there's some good things in this movie and some misses.  I like that Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee are in it.  In fact that's one of the saving graces here.  There is some great dialog that made me laugh a lot.  I'd say the cast is a major selling point.  However the special effects were just not up to the level of the writing.  There's one point where the bad guys are crushing someone in a car and it really takes you out of the movie to see the obvious dummy inside the car.  All in all though, I think this movie passed mustard.
