Sadly, “bromance” month is coming to an end, but Not A Bomb has saved the biggest “bromance” for last. On this week’s episode, the guy’s welcome back Korean Kool, John Nance, to discuss 1991’s buddy cop action film - Showdown in Little Tokyo. This was Brandon Lee’s first big budget film and he was teamed up with Not A Bomb favorite, Dolph Lundgren. Over the past few years, the guys have discussed a lot of fun films and Showdown in Little Tokyo is easily one of the best. Listen as the gang shares their thoughts on Brandon Lee, Hollywood’s use of body doubles, mannequin death, inept casting directors, and whether it’s even possible to break your own neck.
