Pat morita was running high from his Karate Kid movie and leno was the guest host of Carson so together "they made the worst movie i've ever seen"...actually, it was not the worst movie, that goes to Woody Allen's "Shadow and Fog" and "the Hand Maiden's Tale" and "The Cook, the chef, his wife and her lover" -- this had some merit, mostly a young, fresh faced Jay Leno, and Pat Morita who is desperately trying to act his way out from the worst written cop movie ever made...it could have "worked" but for some reason it didn't...

Hilarious Combination
Added 5/31/2005
Jay Leno and Pat Morita. What more can I say? It is such a weird combo. The jokes are stale and the action isn't all that action-packed, but the "cheese factor" are enough to get 4 stars in my book. That said, you probably wouldn't watch this more than once unless you were on something.

Collision Course
Added 8/27/2003
I love this movie!! I thought that it was a pretty good movie of the 1980's, and that Jay Leno, and Pat Morita did a good job together. This movie always makes me feel good after watching it.

Pretty good for an 80's buddy/cop cheezfest!

I first saw this movie about 7-8 years ago on HBO or something. Actually I only caught half of it, but it was hilarious. I remembered a couple of the lines and 'used' them over the next few months, and I eventually told this freind of mine about it. A couple years after that, that friend found it used on VHS, and he brought it over. We watched it, and again is was hilarious. He left it at my place, and I just recently dug it out and watched it again. Leno plays a resourscful quick-witted wise-cracking middle class detective in Detriot PD's Robbery Division and Morita is a respectable Japanese detective. As mentioned, the story is lame yet funny, and several scenes involving Leno, Morita, and the pair together are hilarious. One liners a-plenty, too. Not to be taken very seriously, this is a funny flick.

Like a cop buddy movie... but much better
Added 10/21/2001
I saw this movie recently. It is now 2 hours later, my head still hurts from laughing. The plot was soo awful, the jokes were soo bad, but what I didn't count on were:1. the 2 scenes before and after the movie that had Pat and Jay posing (that caused more than enough laughter) 2. The kick through the windshield that decapitated the evil-doer. This movie is about 20 times better than the Rush Hour series, and my copy even came with a disclamer saying if you didn't like the movie, send certificate to HBO. While I considered it, the date you had to send it in was January 1991 (which also caused wackiness to ensue).
