"Not Bad Action-Comedy!"
4 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Pat Morita, Jay Leno, Chris Sarandon, Tom Noonan and Ernie Hudson star in this 1989 action-comedy. This takes place in Detroit, Michigan where we meet detective, Tony Costas (Leno) who works homicide. We also meet Japanese detective, Fuji Natsuo (Morita) who is sent to Detroit to find a man who has stolen a prototype for a turbo charger. After Costas' ex-partner friend is killed, he investigates and soon works with Natsuo to find his killer and the stolen prototype. Sarandon plays crooked businessman, Philip Madras, Noonan plays his right-hand thug, Scully and Hudson plays Shortcut, a detective who works with Costas. I've always enjoyed this film even though it has some corny moments and Pat and Jay were great together. I think "Rush Hour" kind of bit off this and it's not a bad film I recommend.
