Detroit crime boss Madras (Chris Sarandon) hires men to smuggle a top secret, Japanese-made turbocharger into the U.S. But Madras' crooks are murdered and the turbocharger goes missing. As he searches for the stolen engine, so does straitlaced Tokyo detective Fujitsuka Natsuo (Pat Morita). Eventually, local authorities catch wind of the case, and onto the investigation comes brash cop Tony Costas (Jay Leno), who must team with his polar opposite, Natsuo, to find the turbocharger.

Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel A vile and incompetent archive of 1980s cop movie cliches rife with product placement and casual racism. Rated: 1/5 Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g Horrible buddy movie. Made a thousand times and a thousand tines better. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Frank Z I'm sorry but this film is a must see 1989 cheesy masterpiece! A young Jay Leno and Pat Morita have better chemistry than Gibson/Glover Lethal Weapon in my opinion! But this chemistry is the kind that make you glad 1989 was 34 years ago and going. Got to love the 80's cheesemo đŸ˜‚ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Steve D Leno can't act and makes this really funny for all the wrong reasons. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review christopher c. m I would love to know how this movie got only a PG, even in 1989, considering PG-13 was around? Because of the time and the car wars between Japan and Detroit. A war Detroit was losing the Japanese racism is a real problem with the movie. But it's not the only part of the movie. Maybe the movie failed at the box office? IMDB doesn't say how much it made, but this is the only movie Jay Leno did. Which is a shame. Because he's pretty good in it. The stunts works. Plus Jay and Pat have great chemistry together. The racism is one blemish on a otherwise pretty good but standard buddy cop movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member its a very cheesy 80's movie, but its entertaining to see jay leno with pat morita. you also have ernie hudson in there as well. a buddy cop movie. not the best acting but its still worth the watch if you are a jay leno or pat morita fan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This was an unfunny and boring movie. Not only did it lack jokes, but the "Jokes" they did have were based on old and racial stereotypes. The main character portrayed by Jay Leno was an unlikeable and unamusing police officer that came off as more sexist and unfavorable than someone you wanted to root for. As bad as this plot and acting were the worst part about this movie as the lack of comedy. Overall Grade: D- Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
