He looks like a Raggedy Andy doll that's been left out in the rain for three days.

Forty-four dead bodies. Thirty-two breasts. Cement suffocation.
Samurai sword-hacking. Dagger face-ripping. Crucifixion.
Umbrella-wielding ninja killers with machine guns. Two running gun battles. Throat-slitting.

Thirty-floor death plunge. Exploding car, with fireball. One vehicular crash and burn.

Gratuitous Ron Jeremy.
Drive-In Academy Award nominations for...
--Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, as the revenge-seeking ninja who tells his mama, "We are no longer people--we are wind.''

--Juan Fernandez, as the oily drug king, for saying "I want them cut to pieces.''

--John Savage, as a weirdbeard knife-specialist assassin, for saying, "We've never touched guns--we've never had to.''

--Marco St. John, as the corrupt police official who says, "This is New Orleans--you follow the laws we make up, or you get out.''

And Robert Davi, for another great Mr. Intensity performance, as the renegade who says: "We kill them, or no one does. They belong to us. We belong to them.''

Three stars.
Joe Bob says check it out.
