It is Istanbul, and a Turkish police captain warns the hero to watch his step. “Did you see Midnight Express ?” the captain asks, “Then you know what I mean.” The hero, played by David Bradley, is not intimidated. After all, even though he speaks perfect, unaccented American English, he was raised from infancy by a Japanese samurai master in a “remote” area of Japan. The film falls into the martial arts arena genre, where various fighters battle to the death until only two are left--the hero, who has been coerced into participating, and his blindly jealous Japanese “brother,” who has never gotten over believing that Dad liked the Caucasian best. The colors are a bit light here and there, but generally the picture looks good. The stereo surround sound is fine. The side break is a little jarring but manageable. Fans should take note that although the drama is silly, the fight scenes are plentiful and satisfying, and the movie doesn't waste much time between them.
