i think this movie was funny.i guess i look at it different than other people.i wish they would make more movies like this one.but it may not be that great for this kind of time.i remember i was fifteen when i saw this movie i saw that scene when jay and pat was getting chased by the villain that tom noon man played as.when the two got in the train,and then it stopped.and the bad guy got blow ed to bites by the grenade that they had hid in the price package.i remember reading a comment on here where some one had the movie and used it as a table leg or something,laughing out loud.jay Leno for once to try more acting and movie showbiz won't be the same without pat.
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.

Collision Course was funny and light hearted enough to keep my attention.
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.
The novelty of hearing clean-cut Jay Leno spout four-letter words is the only memorable aspect of this formulaic mismatched-police-partners caper. In COLLISION COURSE, the pelican-faced comedian teams up with the late Pat Morita to track down a stolen prototype turbocharger (think car lover Leno played a hand in the plot?). The two leads try hard, they really do, but Leno is no actor and Morita's fish-out-of-water routine gets old in a hurry. The film carries a bit of cheesy '80s appeal, but its worthy moments become increasingly scarce as it fills out its overlong 100-minute running time. Fans of Leno's considerable comedic talents will feel let down; everyone else will just be bored.
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.

- 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 Cheaper by the Dozen 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.
