Collision Course is a 1989 action comedy film starring Jay Leno as a Detroit police officer and Pat Morita as a Japanese officer forced to work together to recover a Japanese turbocharger stolen by a thief played by Chris Sarandon.

Oshima attempts to sell a revolutionary turbo charger to an auto maker headed by Derek Jarryd.

Scully, being told it was directions to the Turbo Charger's location wrapped around a rock, is killed when the grenade goes off.

An angered Costas confronts Madras, and he is suspended from the force and Natsuo is requested to return home, in disgrace.

Both men continue their investigation which leads them to an auto shop where Oshima placed it in the car he had rented.

After a brief gun battle with Kosnic and some goons, Costas and Natsuo make their way the rental company and locate Oshima's car.

This time, they are chased by Madras and his goons, briefly interrupting an auto race taking place on Detroit's streets.

However, Costas has arranged for a police woman to deliver the part to him so he could in turn, help his partner save face with his boss in Japan.

Numerous local landmarks are shown in various scenes, including the now-defunct Trapper's Alley in the city's Greektown Historic District neighborhood and the Garden Bowl within the Majestic Theatre Centre—the United States' oldest continuously operating bowling alley.

When Dino de Laurentiis went bankrupt the film fell into the hands of Wells Fargo Bank.

The film was given a video release in 1992 to cash in on Jay Leno taking over as permanent host of The Tonight Show.
