In his first major American theatrical release, Brandon Lee (Bruce's late son) plays a wisecracking Los Angeles cop who's been thoroughly Americanized, and Dolph Lundgren plays his new partner, who was raised and trained in Japan. Together, the pair must bring in a Yakuza kingpin (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). Between martial arts battles, a pre-Wayne's World Tia Carrere brings some sex appeal to the story.
