Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance (2015)

You won't be disappointed!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The Worst Film Ever

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The first "Samurai Cop" movie was horrible, but this sequel, which was made 24 years after the first movie, which in itself is a warning sign right there why would you make a sequel to an already bad movie back in the day and make it this many years later, was abysmal.The storyline in "Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance" was even worse and more pointless than it was in the previous movie. This was essentially just Joe moving from one fight scene to the next.The characters in the sequel were every bit as pointless and shallow as the storyline, so don't get your hopes up here.I watched this sequel only because Tommy Wiseau was in it and the performance was every bit as hoped for. And it was just hillarious that he started out with an over-dramatic scene where he trashes a room, in what can only be an homage to the same scene in the classic movie "The Room".This sequel is not really worth the time or effort, unless you find a guilty pleasure in watching bad movies. And trust me, this is bad.

SAMURAI COP 2: DEADLY VENGEANCE is a fan made film, funded by Kickstarter and released as a tribute to the original SAMURAI COP. For those who don't know, SAMURAI COP (and the likes of KILLING American STYLE) were cheap, inept and cheesy low budget action flicks from the early 1990s which today have a kind of cult charm and so-bad-it's-good feel.Sadly, this follow up makes a huge mistake in that it looks and feels nothing like the original movie. All of the humour and the goofiness has gone and what we're left with is a cookie cutter film packed with all the awfulness a typical Z-grade film can muster: terrible stilted acting (most of the cast are moonlighting porn performers), embarrassingly bad direction, rubbish fight scenes, and a general lack of plot cohesion. Amir Shervan, who wrote and directed the original SAMURAI COP, must be spinning in his grave.I think SAMURAI COP 2 is a good example of the difference between old B-movies and new ones. The old B-movies at least had something going for them; they weren't perfect, but they had a kind of cheesy, hard-working charm. These days, film-making is so cheap that anybody can make a B-flick, except few amateur film-makers have the talent even to make so-bad-it's-good productions. They're mostly just horrid, like this one.Robert Z'Dar died before the production began - that was a lucky break - but Mathew Karedas, Mark Frazer, and Cranston Komuro all return from the original film and yes, Karedas is still the bad actor that he always was. If you were ever interested in seeing how badly Laurene Landon (MANIAC COP) has aged, here's your chance. Oh, and Bai Ling (DUMPLINGS) is here too in her most awful performance yet; I guess she really will appear in any old thing.

OK, so this movie is really bad,..... on purpose? I think yeah... (not sure?)... So this is in fact a great movie to watch drunk with friends for sure. Also on level with "The Room" ( and Tommy Wiseau is in it) Seriously the best/worst special fx (SNL style green screen) and uses video game noises for the punch and kick sounds. This movie is terrible, but good terrible. Give it a shot if you just really want a good laugh.Also you might want to use subtitles. Oh and I forgot about the acting. It's just goes beyond unicorns and footballs ... "Oh hi Johnny" *stares "RED BLOOD!!! RED BLOOD JOHNNY!" Just magical. Majestic even.

Samurai Cop 2 by director Gregory Hatanaka was a masterpiece of a job. It was one of those action comedies that go down in history as cult classics. I can speak for it deeply since i had the opportunity to meet most of the cast members including the director Gregory Hatanaka as well as one the producers Joe Williamson and some classic excellent cast members like the legendary Mel Novak from (Bruce Lee's Game of death ), the lovely Laurene Landon and of course Thomas J. Churchill. The movie was so absurd and bizarre and unique in its way that i absolutely loved it. From the costume designs to the filming locations as well as the character developments, this film highlights the unimaginable creativity that one can achieve with limited resources. Mathew Hannon, Mel Novak,Laurene Landon, Thomas Churchill, Shane Ryan, Gerald Okamura and everyone played their roles phenomenally according to their characters ! It was an absolute pleasure and honor to meet this entire talented crew; and i hope the come out with a sequel !!! Basil The White Dragon Masters !
