Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects
1989 97 Minutes
Blurb From Netflix:
A Japanese businessman goes to the cops for help when his daughter is abducted by a nefarious prostitution ring. Lieutenant Crowe (Charles Bronson) a man who unfortunately bears a strong prejudice against the Japanese, is on the case; fortunately, however, he hates pimps who prey on teens even more. Directed by J. Lee Thompson, Kinjite is considered one of Bronson's best action movies.
First off, only a total asshole would consider this to be one of Bronson's best action movies so you can forget that bullshit right away.
Secondly, That box cover is hot. They later replaced it with this turd:
Why?
Strangest parts of this movie:
- Bronson shoving a dildo (off-screen thankfully) up a guys ass after catching him with a teenage prostitute.
- Telling a pimp, after being given an expensive watch as a bribe: "I'd like to shove this up your ass, but I don't want to dirty my hands."
I don't know what's up with Bronson and guys asses in this movie but I don't like it.
- Bronson interupting a Japanese wedding (or some other big ceremony) to yell at them. "You walk around like you own the place. This is Los Angeles not Japan!"
The problem with this movie is that it is really two different stories,the story of the Japanese businessman and the story of the Japanese hating detective but the stories never come together in a satisfying way. In one scene the businessman touches Bronson's daughter's "special place" on the bus (which prompts Bronson's rants on the Japanese) but when they meet later in the movie there is no recognition. You keep waiting for Bronson to figure it out but he doesn't. Lame.
Verdict: A strange and not very good movie. Some decent action scenes but the story never comes together and you never get a reason to care about the characters. Watch it if you really like Bronson or weird movies.
Look how high I can kick!
Update: Found the trailer on youtube. It is awesome.
"That's Justice."
