I'm not going 'early' on my annual Top 25 this year like I did last year, because I have high hopes for the last-knockings release of MARTY SUPREME so I'm holding back. In the meantime though, feel free to check out last year's entry in its 'new home':

Growing up in the 90s, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was the dude you'd delight to see pop up in the likes of LICENCE TO KILL, KICKBOXER 2, SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO, RISING SUN, MORTAL KOMBAT, THE PHANTOM and VAMPIRES coz you knew evil shit was gonna go down. I liked that guy a lot. RIP.
