Note : The Citizen Kane of samurai movies, the Seven Samurai of cop movies, it's Samurai Cop. An ill-conceived, amateurish production from when the transition between the 80s and the 90s, and somehow including the worst of both worlds, it's a mishmash of bad acting, worse fight scenes, horrible ADR, unsexy sex scenes, shoddy cinematography, and a simplistic, nonsensical, borderline racist script. Apparently, when director Shervan met Matt Hannon, previously Sylvester Stallone's bodyguard, and credited here as Mathew Karedas, it only took a week for them to go into production on this film. I don't know if more time in preproduction would have helped, but it could hardly have hurt. Also features Robert Z'Dar as a Japanese gang enforcer, Gerald Okamura as another gang member, and Melissa Moore. Is it me, or should Z'Dar have considered keeping the beard?
When a renegade Japanese gang known as "The Katana" take control of Los Angeles' cocaine trade (considering the time period, no doubt north of 50% of US GDP), the LAPD, incompetent as usual, calls in a "Samurai Cop" from San Diego, who's been trained by Japanese masters. He's not particularly Samurai-y, but he sets about killing his way through the Japanese gangs, seducing the gang leaders' girlfriends, and making a lot of strange faces, all the while showing off his magnificent mane of hair and his tiny swimwear. It ends in a samurai vs. samurai showdown with Robert Z'Dar's Yamashita.
This Cinema Epoch remaster is a telecine transfer, and pretty bad, but so is the film, so it's what you can expect, I guess. The interesting thing here is probably the numerous commentary tracks, several of which are very funny. Note that the RiffTrax track is for a slightly cut version without nudity, so there are bits without riffs. The only track I'm aware of that I haven't included is the RiffTrax live track, which I'm not patient enough to sit down and sync to this version of the film.
Hot tip

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk action” for more kicking and punching, usually not this inept, “ hevk crime thriller” for more crime and the criminals who do it, or “ hevk 90s” for more from the decade that for a while didn't notice it wasn't supposed to be the 80s anymore.
