Definitely a cut above other 90s low-budget action, in every way (plot, acting, cinematography etc). Well, except for Gary's accent.

Saw it originally in the cinema in the UK in 1994, thought then it was a superior low-budget action flick with a superior star, then unknown Viggo Mortensen. A lot of action but also character, too. I even got the cinema to give me the promotional cardboard cutout once its run was over.

I'll try not to wait another three decades before seeing it again!

Don "The Dragon" Wilson stars as a Japanese cop who must overcome culture shock (i.e. US racism and cars much larger than back home) and learn the Power of the Laser Finger.

Not bad... for a Don "The Dragon" Wilson movie, if you know what I mean, and if you're a sucker for 90s action like I am.
