1989 action drama directed by
Ridley Scott and starring
Michael Douglas,
Andy Garcia,
Guts Ishimatsu, and
Ken Takakura. Douglas and Garcia play
NYPD detectives charged with delivering a
yakuza man (Ishimatsu) to the police in
Osaka,
Japan. When they arrive at
Itami, they accidentally hand him over to yakuza disguised as cops, and so they have to spend the rest of the movie getting him back, with the help of an English-speaking Osaka cop (Takakura).
As far as I know, this is the only big-ticket Hollywood movie ever made in Osaka, and it does a damn good job of showing off the city. If you're planning on a visit, I strongly recommend seeing this movie first so you'll know what to expect.
