Another plot about an up-and-coming gangster who is being thwarted by the new hero on the scene.

Rankings:

Superhero Moment
2/5

Slow motion Kato fights are a bit overdone, but his skills are fun to watch.

Casting
1/5

Love Jay as Kato, but Seth Rogen is a big nope.

Costume
3/5

Both comic accurate, but the car is just the balls.

Theme Song
0/5

Notes

I can’t remember the critical reaction at the time, but I remember liking it a lot. Rewatching it, it’s funnier than I remember, and nailed a lot of the comic book movie tropes before their time.
