Parker Lewis I can only wonder how Lieutenant Crowe (Charles Bronson in a role almost made for him I guess) would respond now to "Japanese influence and infiltration" in American society such as manga, sushi, and Pokemon Go? I also wonder how Lieutenant Crowe would have felt about the US military bases in Japan? Or Tokyo Disneyland? Hopefully the Lieutenant would show some respect to Judge Lance Ito if the Lieutenant had to present evidence in court.Maybe a sequel should deal with Lieutenant Crowe realizing that not all Asians are "the same", just as not all Europeans are "all the same", and that some people cannot tell the difference between Americans and Canadians and Germans and Irish and Scottish. I'd love to hear Lieutenant Crowe's on post-apartheid South Africa.I wonder if the Japanese or Asian actors who appeared in this movie had any idea what they were getting into. I know actors are professionals who have to earn a living, and Hollywood roles for Japanese or Asian actors aren't abundant, so I guess they had to be professional about it and scrap for any Long Duk Dong role out there.

utgard14 Sleazy Charles Bronson movie about an LA detective (Bronson) out to rescue the daughter of a Japanese businessman (James Pax) from a child prostitution ring. This is the movie where Bronson sodomizes a pervert with a piece of wood. Offscreen, thankfully. We only see him make the threat and then hear the screams. Later he forces a pimp to eat his watch and sets the same pimp up to be gang-banged in jail! Not to mention the "accidental" murder of the pimp's partner. Bronson may not be blowing away bad guys with a gun in this one but he's still as tough on crime as ever.In the first part of the movie, there's some unsettling subtext that is fumbled around with regarding Bronson's feelings toward his daughter. It's implied through several scenes before one character actually voices it. Then the movie never follows through on addressing this, leaving some deeply disturbing implications just hanging out there. That and the awkward way the racial and cultural issues are handled knocks some points off. This movie had two ways to go that could work, both very different. It either could be a dramatic film examining the cultural differences between Japan and America, as well as the relationships between fathers and daughters -- OR -- it could be a Death Wish-style shoot 'me up where Chuck Bronson litters the streets with dead pimps. Sadly, the movie chooses a weird middle ground: not smart enough to deftly handle touchy issues but not fun enough to be a good pulpy actioner. This was Bronson's last movie with Cannon Films as well as his last with longtime collaborator J. Lee Thompson. Danny Trejo has a bit part as one of the prisoners at the end salivating over the chance to rape the pimp. Bronson completists will want to check it out but everybody else don't bother.

kols For Golan-Gobus and I can only think it was produced as a favor to Bronson who, by 1989, had perhaps suffered brain damage from too many "Death Wish" movies (actually he was very effective in "Yes, Virginia ...", 1991, so maybe not).Whatever, here he's a cop unloading tons of vigilante-style justice to a lot of bad guys in what is a very boring paranoid's, or bullied 9-year-old's, wet-dream.What makes it boring is that everything is a set-up, predictable and poorly depicted. Same with the dialog: almost a parody of tough-guy-cop-gone-over-the-top movies. But none of the action scenes, non-action scenes, dialog, pacing, or acting rises to that level. Just a really bad and pointless waste of film.

Bolesroor Hey, here's a few questions for everyone who's seen "Kinjite Colon Forbidden Subjects"!Is it really possible to stick your hand up the skirt of a random woman on a crowded subway train, fondle her to orgasm and not get caught because she's too shy to say anything...? And have no one else on the train notice?If you're an American girl who has the same thing happen to her on a bus and you freak out, call the police, file a report and tell your cop dad Charles Bronson, why would you NOT say anything when the very man who molested you shows up in your living room?!?Would a black man really die after being dropped over a third-story balcony into a swimming pool? Even if he did, would his corpse- upon floating to the surface- somehow be that of a WHITE MAN who looks nothing like him? Were the filmmakers really unable to find a black stunt professional?Did the producers really give Bronson's police partner the old "I'm playing it safe so I can retire with a pension" storyline only to kill him violently in what was surely the most clichéd plot device in the history of motion pictures?!?Was Peggy Lipton playing a mute in this movie or simply mentally retarded? Does anyone know any reason WHY her character was included in the film?Why in God's name would Bronson- whose arch-enemy in the film is a notorious street pimp who deals only in underage girls- not go directly to see him after he is assigned the case of finding a missing underage girl?Did anybody else notice 16 year-old Amy Hathaway's puffy nipples popping through her flimsy red bathing suit while she seductively posed for pictures after her swim meet? Is this movie about the horrors of sexualizing children or some kind of recruitment film?Are we really supposed to believe that someone even as tough as Charlie B. could make another human being swallow a Rolex watch? Did anybody else see said watch slip clumsily into Bronson's over-sized blazer sleeve in the laziest sleight-of-hand botch ever recorded to film?If you were a little girl rescued from sex slavery would you tell the police afterward everything you know about the criminals in order to ensure their capture? Or would you encode your knowledge in a haiku and off yourself with a heroin overdose? If so, where would you get said heroin? Did the cops let her keep it as a souvenir of her joyful time as a sex slave?Does this movie really open with Charles Bronson sodomizing a pedophile with a twelve-inch electric dildo?Am I the only person who noticed that the priest was subtly suggesting that Bronson was over-reacting to his daughter's bus fondling because Bronson was actually in love/lust with his own daughter?!? And am I the only person that noticed Bronson AGREED with this theory?!? And that this storyline is never referenced again?!?Well, my friends, the answer to all these questions (and more) can be found in the mind-bogglingly bizarre movie "Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects." But beware... this movie may leave you with one or more scars and a lifetime of lingering perversions... and now if you'll excuse me I have to catch a Japanese subway for the high school swim meet.GRADE: C(And a note to my fellow IMDb reviewers: You do understand that this was a movie, right? Fiction? Entertainment? Save the moralizing and self-righteous indignation for events that Actually Happen. You know... in Real Life. And is it just me or does it seem like the same people who are most disgusted by child molestation and statutory rape the same ones who let their young daughters out of the house dressed like whores? And the same ones who have the secret stash of kiddie porn on their computer? Lighten up, people. It's a movie. The popcorn's on me.)
