Video Vagabond

Video Vagabond is a filmmaking podcast that delves deep into the films of the 80s/90s and how those movies defined a generation of fans that are now creating their own influential content. Vagabond will be breaking-down films from our collective childhood, the ones that still haunt our dreams like implanted memories, the ones that defined who we were as a generation of unsupervised, bicycle-riding kids who read the Anarchist's Cookbook for fun and ate Green Berets for breakfast. This podcast is for you.

EP08 - "Showdown in Little Tokyo" (1991) - Thursday Night Prime - (w/Skip Segal)

March 31, 2022 • Anthony • Season 1 • Episode 8

Thursday Night Prime returns to Video Vagabond with the 1991 action-comedy, SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO! Skip Segal returns to the program as guest emeritus as we travel back to 1991 as Dolph Lundgren (Blonde Dolph!) makes his 2nd Appearance on TNP as he's joined by Brandon Lee, in his first major US role as the wise-ass side-kick.

SHOWDOWN is an absolute treat, clocking in at 79 minutes with a 58 body count (great ratio!) with enough snappy dialogue and cringe-worthy moments that'll give you flashbacks of early-90s lunacy. Directed by Mark L. Lester, who also directed CLASS OF 1984, COMMANDO, ARMED & DANGEROUS, and CLASS OF 1999, the film is action-packed with slow-motion gunshots, plenty of explosions, indiscriminate violence, and graphic nudity. Just what a growing boy needs!

So, sit back, make yourself some popcorn, grab a beer (make it a six-pack!) , and enjoy the rollicking trip down memory lane as we dive deep into...SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO!
