The Film
The Yakuza are in LA setting up a drug ring and on the case to bring them down, are two cops that couldn’t be more different. Kenner (Dolph Lundgren) is an American raised in Japan with the mind and body of a samurai, and Murata (Brandon Lee) is a Japanese-American “Valley Dude” who loves pizza and MTV but can still kick some ass. When Kenner recognises the Yakuza leader Yoshida as his parents murderer, things become a lot more personal.
The Clip
The final showdown in the film (no suprise it’s in Little Tokyo), between Kenner and Yoshida.
