Really a funny movie that no one knew/knows about. I remember I first saw it on HBO when it was already 2-3 years old, about 92-93. Still, very funny. If you watch it you'll know. Now that I think about it, it's the first Rush Hour; white(instead of black) cop and a Chinese partner who can't speak English, but really can, have hardships through the movie, which makes it interesting and funny, then bond and become friends in the end. Cool, funny movie. 8/10
I'm repeating this, because I am starting out a new commenting title. So I think just repeating this will be better and have an overall justifiable expense. Thank you. And word to your mother.
If you thought that was funny, please say so. I just did it on a whim and it cracked me a smile.

When I saw the cover of this movie on the $2 rack at Blockbuster video, I absolutely cacked myself laughing and had to buy it. After about two years of keeping it under a table leg to stop the wobble, I finally watched it. Now, it wasn't the best movie I've seen but it sure kept me entertained. Stereotypical, yes.. Lame, absolutely.. but it was so damn funny. The 80's style car chase, the way Jay Leno seemed to forget that he'd been shot in the leg, the cheesey ending... brilliant! It was fun, it was action packed and it brought a tear to my eye.My favourite part would have to have been Tony and the guy from Karate Kid sitting in the kitchen getting sloshed. If you come across this gem in the video store or if it's coming on tele, don't pass up the opportunity to watch it. As long as your expectations aren't too high, you'll love Collision Course.
This movie had faded as one of those 1980's action comedy films. I saw it many years ago and I thought it was great. For awhile I was looking for it but no luck. It was one HBO but I always missed it. One day I caught the whole thing. As time went on Movies like Rush Hour come and still it doesn't remind people of Collision Course. Collision Course is The Rush Hour of the past we would never forget. This is a movie I will never forget. I am an 80's man, so, that's another reason why I like this Film. The comedy between the two cops (Leno and Morita) are great and make a much better team than those other cops (Tucker and Chan). The Characters seem more alive and active. Rush Hour is mostly talk. I great film for all family members.8 out of 10.
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.

Well no, I tell a lie, this is in fact not the best movie of all time, but it is a really enjoyable movie that nobody I know has seen.
It's a buddy cop movie starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita(Mr Miyagi) with some fluff story about a missing car engine prototype or something, but that doesn't matter. the reason this movie is fun is because of the interaction between the two leads, who initially dislike and distrust each other but in a shocking twist of fate end up becoming friends. The whole culture difference thing is done quite well,in that it's fun to watch, it's completely ridiculous but in a cheesy and enjoyable kind of way. The soundtrack is cool,once again in a cheesy 80's kind of way, it suits the movie, I've been trying to find one of the songs for ages, but as I'm working from memory of what I think a few of the words were i can't seem to find it.
Another thing this movie has is the most fantastic pay off of any movie ever, but I won't give that one away, oh no! In conclusion I'd take this movie over 48 Hours\most of Eddie Murphys output including Beverly Hills cop, and whatever buddy junk Jackie Chan or Martin Lawrence have to their names. If you're looking for a buddy cop movie and are getting fed up with "straight white cop meets zany streetwise black cop" give this a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised cos this turns the whole formula upside down with "straight Japanese cop meets zany streetwise white cop".
I'm giving this 7. to be honest I like it more than that. I'd rather watch this than a lot of stuff I'd give 8. But I guess I know deep down that it's some sort of insanity that makes me like this movie.

- 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 Treize à la douzaine 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.
