Returner

I remember from some other movie the scene where the hero/anti-hero on a motorcycle is careening down a highway (maybe with a girl-in-jeopardy on the back) chased by the bad guys in a roadster/Hummer/fast car and he jams on the front brake while twisting the handlebars. It forces his cycle into a pirouette and, as it twists, he fires his billion round machine pistol at them causing a gigantic explosion which would take out a small city in most places. And he just smirks. This movie has one of the best of those scenes in it with Miyamoto (Takeshi Kaneshiro) as the gunslinging maverick, Milly (Anne Suzuki) as the girl and a poor old Beamer as the car-in-jeopardy.
