I thought this guy was pretty cute. Red Dragon by DARKspawn. You can see more pictures on MOCpages. One of the other guys commenting asked if Red Dragon was the name of the fake beer in the movie Showdown In Little Tokyo. I didn't remember and was too lazy to go dig in the boxes with all my dvd's. The internet helped and yes it was. At least according to some guys review. That label isn't for the fake beer in the movie but real beer from a brewery in Wales.
Showdown in Little Tokyo is a pretty violent movie with some nasty characters. It always made me think the film makers were looking to the Hong Kong action film of the mid to late 80's for inspiration, even though the trappings are Japanese. The story is cops versus Yakuza drug lords in LA. Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee are the mismatched cops. Brandon, playing a Japanese guy, was raised in LA and Dolph was raised in Japan. Dolph is on a quest for vengence and Brandon is a comic relief machine young hip street cop. Hilarity insues, and stabbing. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, one of the coolest character actors out there, plays the super nasty villian. The story is simple and they don't really care if it's all there. The movie blasts forward with explosive delight and before you know it 78 minutes have passed and you're at the end of the movie. Good item to add to your Netflix list or pick up at the rental store. I bought one knowing I would want to watch it again. Just haven't seen it in a while. Maybe it's time to dig it out.
