A Japanese investigator and a Detroit cop team up to track down a stolen prototype turbocharger.
Detective Tony Costas is a convivial smart-aleck cop in the car capital, Detroit. When an old pal from the force is mowed down by high-powered ammunition in a junkyard, Costas bucks the system and investigates the case personally. It turns out that maverick auto executive Derek Jerryd has kept his company afloat via a partnership with underworld boss Philip Madras. To give Jerryd’s new car a technical edge, Madras bribed a Japanese businessman to sneak the revolutionary new “Kodama Motors” engine prototype into the US, but the smuggler died at the hands of Madras’s strong-arm henchmen. Madras is now searching the Motor City for the hidden engine prototype, and so is investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo, an elfin Tokyo lawman with orders to bring back the valuable hardware – or else. Costas and Natsuo form the usual uneasy, bickering alliance as they chase down the bad guys, turning from rival cops into cross-cultural pals.
“’Collision Course’ is highly entertaining. For an action comedy that’s 80’s through and through, Collision Course definitively delivers the goods.” – Comeuppance Reviews
“This movie was a riot – the action quota was high enough that I had a total ball with it. I kinda wish Jay Leno did more movies like this back in the day; hunt this down if you can. It’s totally worth it.” – ExplosiveAction.com
“A classic 80s movie with the music, acting and a good vibe of fun. Good entertainment.” – Amazon
