Still love that Rising Sun is a movie where Sean Connery plays a “Expert on Japanese Culture” to help Wesley Snipes solve a murder

Because you know, they’re just so inscrutable and mysterious, you’ll never know why a Japanese person would murder someone

Sean Connery plays a “Expert on Japanese Culture”

He did master the art of becoming Japanese in You Only Live Twice.

It’s a good thing my cultural touch points on James Bond extend mainly to the video games

Lot less racism in those

Still kind of racist probably

Sounds similar to Showdown In Little Tokyo, where Dolph Lundgren is part of a special Asian crime division.

Highlights include a man snapping his own neck in an interrogation to keep a secret, and this hilarious gem https://youtu.be/apAC1HJhu3M

How no one pissed themselves laughing in that scene I have no idea.
