Trivia
The VHS poster has similarities to that of another movie, Maniac Cop (1988). Both posters feature policemen who are wearing similar uniforms, armed with a weapon and with an almost identical catchphrase. Also, both movies feature Robert Z'Dar as part of the main cast. See more »Goofs
At numerous points in the film, Mathew Karedas is clearly wearing a wig. During one fight scene it even begins to slip off, revealing his short hair underneath. See more »Quotes

A womanizing super samurai cop and his black side-kick go after the Yakuza.This film is bad..REALLY bad, it's also pretty damn funny. Matt Hannon stars as the samurai cop who looks more like a gay poolboy in the best movie of his long varied career of one film. Robert Z'dar (Maniac Cop) is the right-hand man of the bad guy. Definately a guilty pleasure movie with it's jaw-droppingly insanely stupid dialog, the horrible "action", the unneeded flamingly gay waiter, and well you just have to see it for yourself.
My bad-movie grade: A
Media Blaster Dvd Extras: Joe Bob Brigg's intro and commentary!!! (which is GREAT); Robert Z'Dar Interview; Stills gallery;Trailers for "Sex Bomb" (which is awful), "Strike Me Deadly", "Blood Shack", and "Mission Kill Fast"
Eye Candy: ALL the main actoresses get topless and one gets fully nude
