Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance

It's not funny. It's not nostalgic. It's not anything, really.

A spectacular example of hipster counterproductivity, this outrageous waste of time is really just a feature-length showcase of how much money & online hype can be flushed down the toilet by the utterly untalented.

There's no plot to give away, because nothing happens. It's just crap, stumbling from one nonsense "scene" to another, with a few little "nods" to the original along the way. I can't even think of words to describe the rest... bright colors? No attempts at continuity either, unless a small parade of lame cameos qualifies as such.

Maybe the most tragic - yet interesting - thing about this project is the increased appreciation this pile inadvertently lends to that first movie. At least Samurai Cop stumbled into accidental charisma here & there! That Amir guy must be turning in his grave.

I'd like to further skewer this trainwreck, but it's frankly just depressing.

Don't watch it. It blows.

Unlike the first samurai cop that was unintentionally bad, Which made it very enjoyable to watch and enjoy. This on the other hand is just down right terrible the plot is that from what I can see is there is not plot nothing makes sense it's an insult to all the actors and kickstarter fans that they could make a such a film.

I truly like to think the intentions where good but the execution of this film is laughable,the writing is that of a pre-school grade and direction of a blind monkey.

All in all a huge mistake to make and should never of been made, sorry to anyone reading this who took part in the film I'm sure it was enjoyable to make and be part off alas it did not transition to the people watching it.

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.

It is a lame, lazy, and insane attempt at parody of the original film. The plot is convoluted, the dialogue at times impossible to understand, the jokes are absolutely terrible, the acting is atrocious... And none of it has the 'so bad it's good' feel to it. It's just bad, unbelievably bad. The people behind the project were misguided in every respect imaginable. This film has none of the charm or involuntary humour of the original. It's just unbelievably dull nonsense. Shame on you for trying to make money in such a cheap way!

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.
