This is twice in one day. First I tuned into the Chinese film A Touch of Evil and got the Orsen Welles B movie Touch of Evil. No problem as it was a great film. Then, I tune into Showdown in Little Tokyo and get Showdown, a Billy Banks film that barely could be called entertaining. Cinemax needs to hire people that know what they are putting in the descriptions.
I hung in there just to see Billy Blanks. I vaguely remember him from Lionheart. The film was basically a remake of The Karate Kid without all the "wax on, wax off" garbage. At least the Karate Kid worked for months to get in shape. The kid in this film was able to do it in 10 easy lessons.
The one redeeming character in the film was Brion James as Asst. Principal Kowalski. He really seemed to be having fun with his role yelling at the kids for smoking or just looking stupid. James managed 156 films before his life was cut short at 54.
Don't bother.
