- TriviaWhen Steve Martin appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992) in 2005, he played "Name That Clip." Leno was supposed to differentiate clips from Martin's two new movies, Shopgirl (2005) and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005), with Martin taking $20 from Leno if he got one wrong. The last clip played was from this movie, which Leno immediately said was "a horrible movie." Martin said Leno was right, but he would still lose $20 for making it.

Investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo: Isn't someone going to hear that and call the police?
Detective Tony Costas: No, you see in this neighborhood they don't call the police, they just yell "Turn that shit off".

Featured review
Not a horrible movie. It has its funny spots here and there. The dynamic is off though, mainly on the side of Jay Leno. It's missing an essence of action as well, in my opinion. Several "Chase" scenes are Jay Leno briskly walking after Pat Morita. There is a fight scene, kind of. Lamest action sequences ever.
This movie couldn't come out today. There is a good amount of Japanese racism in this pic. Just wouldn't fly today, and it may not have back in the 80s either.
A movie with a similar concept came out years later in the form of Rush Hour. Makes me wonder if this movie was one of the inspirations.
Collision Course was funny and light hearted enough to keep my attention.
