Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I knew that this movie was going to be bad, I just didn't know how bad. And I must admit that I was expecting it to be bad in an enjoyable way.It turned out that it wasn't so...This movie was just fundamentally bad on many levels, and there were so many things wrong with it. It was so hillarious that during the car chase scenes and the fight scenes that they just cranked up the frame rates per second which gave it all a laughable cartoonish quality, especially since everything in the background moved equally fast. And the scene where the van exploded after slowly rolling into an earthy hill was just preposterous. Then there was the scene where the driver caught on fire but it was so painstakingly clear to see that it was a different stunt guy and not the actor, and that he was fully covered in fire-proof gel. Or the scene where Joe engages with an opponent in an area where there are cacti, then as then suddenly it is a grassy area, and finally becomes a barren field with no vegetation, and they had not even moved - it just was such a horrible continuity error.The dialogue in the movie was every bit as corny as the storyline, and the acting was equally so. It was so difficult to take the actor playing the samurai cop, Mathew Karedas, serious with that hair of his.This is the type of movie you watch once and never again. And that awful sword fight scene at the end of the movie is the best thing in the entire movie, because it is so awful. And that alone is the one and only thing you really need to watch in the entire movie. The entire movie is just leading up to the climatic showdown between the hair and the chin.

Leofwine_draca SAMURAI COP is another hilariously inept action B-movie from the guy who brought us Killing American Style. I think Amir Shervan's earlier film has the edge in terms of out-and-out cheese and comedy, but SAMURAI COP comes a close second. The title's a misnomer, brought about because there are a couple of samurai swords in the film; otherwise this is the usual cops and robbers stuff as upstanding heroes battle gun-toting criminal gang members.This film is so much like Killing American Style it feels like they were shot back to back: the movies share cast members and look and feel exactly the same in terms of staging, fight scenes, etc. The staging is staggeringly inept, with most scenes shot in single takes, and the acting is quite horrible. The main actor, Mathew Karedas, has a long hair style that swaps from being real to a woman's wig and back again as the story goes on (the story is that he had his hair cut short halfway through the production so had to wear a wig for the rest of the filming).SAMURAI COP is a film that nobody can take seriously, so the best thing to do is to sit back and laugh at it. In this respect it becomes something of a gem, an example of so-bad-it's-good entertainment. As with Killing American Style, Robert Z'Dar plays in support as the chief villain. Others must have enjoyed this movie, because a sequel followed in 2014 (!).

Bryan Roderick (Bryan_Roderick) Samurai CopThis film is ridiculous.I mean in one scene a Chinese guy gets shot in the stomach groans, then a cut to him punching and elbowing some guy without any problems. Scene ends by a quick transition to our main characters saying "Let's go catch us some bad guys." They drive a few feet then stop and say "Let's call the helicopter."This is only 5 minutes into the film and I'm already questioning whether or not this was a good idea. By the way the helicopter was shot at an angle so you couldn't tell if it was actually flying or not. It totally wasn't flying at all.The car chase scenes were easily sped up to make it seem like they were traveling faster than they were. The ADR (dubbing) in the film is one of the worst I've ever seen. The director didn't feel like changing the shot of the main character at all, which led for more hilarious ducking to supposedly dodge getting shot at. At the end of the chase scene a guy catches fire for...unknown reasons. Seriously no cars were on fire. He just stopped the car and walked out on fire.So many scenes are reused as well as voice overs. Oh by the way that car chase immediately cuts to a raunchy scene with the female supporting character that was almost laughably acted. The cop in charge of watching the burn victim seriously had a case of the what- do-I-do-with-my-hands.I found myself smiling and laughing at how badly the film was written and the acting was almost intentionally horrible. When the burn victim is groaning in pain, I laughed throughout. I counted at least a minute worth of moaning that was not painful sounding at all.Verdict: I wont spoil the whole movie for you. I could go on and on about how bad the film is. That being said the film is worth watching, even if it's the worst thing I've ever seen. Worse than Pixels. Unlike Pixels, I actually laughed at this film and I don't regret watching it.

Scott_Mercer I guess I was behind the curve on finding out about this messterpiece, but about a year ago I was clued in and have seen it several times since, as well as seeing the Kickstarter fueled Samurai Cop 2 in its theatrical run, no less. But let's get back to the original. A highly incompetent Lethal Weapon ripoff mixed with a ninja film, this was barely released direct to video in 1991 and thereafter floundered in obscurity. It may have actually gotten a theatrical release in some lesser nation; I know there was a movie poster from Poland which served as the basis for the first DVD cover. Years later, some hipsters dug it up and thanks to the internet, it developed a well-deserved and appreciative dedicated cult fandom. Although plagued with nonsensical writing, bad acting, non-existent direction, hack-job editing and video-game level musical score, Samurai Cop is actually a hilarious entertainment experience, unlike the even worse action/exploitation flick also made by an Iranian immigrant, the diabolical Dangerous Men. Where Dangerous Men is filthy, difficult to watch and depressing as hell, Samurai Cop is rollicking, goofy and insane. A lot of this appeal is due to the good will engendered by the two leads, Matt Hannon and Mark Fraser, who ended up doing very little after this film, career-wise, which is a shame. Half the script makes no sense as it is an impression of American films and American culture written by an outsider, English-as-a- Second-Language auteur, director Amir Shervan. Lead actor Hannon wears a cheap ladies' wig through much of the film as he had gone off during a break and cut his hair short (to be fair, Shervan told him the film was done and called him to come back for more shooting about six months later). Special effects are bargain basement, fight choreography is nearly non-existent, and the Japanese gang with only one Japanese person in it must be seen to be believed. At this point you probably don't need my recommendation to go see this as the film's reputation for hilarity is probably up there next to Tommy Wiseau's The Room by now. I'd even recommend repeat viewings as there's probably more laughs to be mined after the first go round. See it before you get shipped back to Tokyo in a garbage bag for fertilizer!
