"Michael Douglas and his partner Andy Garcia head to Osaka on the trail of a vicious yakuza boss. It probably drags on a bit too much.

"2 Cops befriend Every buddy cop movie in existence (except Running Scared oddly enough) is based on this tradition.

In Midnight Run Robert De Niro is escorting a Mafia accountant played by Charles Grodin, and DeNiro himself is a bounty h"

"First viewing - Feb. 26th/27th I wanted to see this one because Ridley Scott directed it & I like Michael Douglas. Turns out I could've skipped it.

" Cast : Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Kate Capshaw What was it about? Two New York cops get involved in a gang war between members of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. They arrest one of their killers and are ordered to escort him back to Japan. In Japan, however, he manages to escape. As they try to track him down, they get deeper and deeper into the Japanese Mafia scene and they have to learn that they can only win by playing the game the Japanese way. My two cents: I had some r"
