Plot

Four years before Rush Hour, an L.A. cop and an exchange officer from Asia who speaks poor English become fast friends. Oh yeah, they are reincarnated Mayan warriors themselves. So their drug sting at a fancy hotel gets messed up and they take on the products of an evil corporation, HybriCo run by Foster, producing invincible, ninja warriors for international distribution. Lister plays a gargantuan monster that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Deron McBee, fresh off his stint as Malibu on American Gladiators plays the final heavy "Signature Killer." It served an excellent audition for a later role in Mortal Kombat. And it turns out, if you behead them or burn them with fire, they are not so immortal.
