    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

      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.

      Sean Connery plays a “Expert on Japanese Culture”

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