Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Leofwine_draca 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.

FlashCallahan It's 25 years later, and after Jennifer is brutally killed, Detective Frank Washington is forced to team up with his long estranged partner Joe Marshall.It seems that an old enemy has resurfaced, and they have to solve a series of assassinations being committed by a secret group of female vigilante killers......When I saw the first Samurai Cop, I was dazzled by just how entertainingly bad the film was. It was a marvel of cinematic exploitative trash, it took me back to the early nineties, and I loved every minute of it.I never read anything about the sequel, I was under the impression that it was a rushed released film to cash in on the cult status that SC1 was bound to gain, much in the vein of King Of The Kickboxers, of Eye Of The Eagle.I had no idea that it was literally made last year, and most of the cast had come back from beyond obscurity.It's no surprise that it doesn't live up to the 'so bad it's good' label that SC1 has, but for sheer nostalgia value, it's good fun while it lasts.The writers know that what made SC1 so popular was the poor editing, the bad action, and the unintentional cheesiness the whole film had. So it's pretty impossible to recreate that 'magic', so they go for broke and decide to make the whole thing as bonkers as they can.And for the most part it works, having Frank have some weird, drug induced dreams that appear to have him being in a TV show is quite leftfield, but we've seen it before in Natural Born Killers and Crank 2. And Joe breaking the fourth wall makes the viewer smile, but only because I brings back memories of SC1.And this is the films fundamental problem, we've seen it all before, and no matter how many of the original cast you can bring back from obscurity, or having the stunt casting of Tommy Wiseau as the main villain, you are just yearning for the for SC1.And what makes SC1 so unique is that it was made in a time where on screen sexism, gratuitous violence, and sheer awful acting was accepted. It wasn't trying to be meta, hip, or clever, it was aimed for people who just wanted to see people kick ten bells out of somebody else, and not having to worry about following a narrative, because every one of these films followed the same rules: Introduction, Fight, Loss, Revenge, Get The Girl.......Fin.So in the 25 years that have passed, the film, and pretty much the cast have been lost in translation. The film isn't going to win any new fans, because it tries to hard to be something it isn't, and for people who haven't seen the original for sometime, it may be a crushing disappointment.My advice, see the original first, and then this straight after.After the shock of seeing Frank go from Fabio to Skeletor, you may appreciate it more than you should.

xcoreninja 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.

toxiemite SAMURAI COP was among the wave of martial arts movies during the early-nineties and despite being one the worst of them all it had no pretensions. It reveled in its own awfulness and rightfully earned itself a loyal cult following over the twenty-four years that followed. It was a film that certainly didn't deserve a sequel and yet here we are...SAMURAI COP 2: DEADLY VENGEANCE is the long-awaited follow-up that sees Matt Hannon & Mark Frazer reprising their roles and kicking ass as though their last exploits were only yesterday. The film is the result of a dedicated crow-funding campaign and the devotion of director Gregory Hatanaka. Fans owe him a lot of gratitude because the film is an outstanding combination of nostalgia, action, satire and self-awareness.Frazer's detective character is still punching the clock and finds himself investigating a string of Yukuza assassinations. He tracks down his old partner, Harron, who has been off the grid for two decades and the two of them team up to take down a ruthless organization of clichéd samurai killers.Honestly? The storyline is irrelevant. SAMURAI COP 2 is an intentionally contrived throwback film that recreates the aesthetic of the original with a full comprehension of what made that film so bad, as well as an understanding of precisely what fans loved about it. Having Hannon and Frazer reprise their roles solidifies the intended sarcasm and lends the movie a constant hilarity.Harron and Frazer are fantastic. In a case of life imitating art Harron had fallen off the grid prior to the production. He had changed his name and left the industry and it was only when he was tracked down and discovered at the last minute that the script was re- written for his return. He steps back into the game as though he never left. He commands the screen and delivers a hysterical performance that makes it hard to imagine the original script without him. Frazer is great too. He had also stepped away from the camera many years ago and seeing the two of them kick ass again is so damn good.The script is smart and the production values are fantastic. It is a much more controlled and artistic film than the original with strong textures and well handled cinematography. In fact it couldn't have come at a better time with creative outfits such as Astron-6 already laying the way for this particular brand of self-referential nostalgia. Gregory Hatanaka has proved to be a savvy filmmaker with a clear vision and comprehension of the genre. His handling of the action and use of night serves as a clever contrast to the first film, which was shot entirely in daylight with underwhelming action sequences.Enjoying SAMURAI COP 2 doesn't require your knowledge of the original, but I would stress that it cannot be truly appreciated without seeing it. This is a movie packed with throw-back references, as well as countless nuances that serve as a wink to the audience, and newcomers wont recognize the elements at the very heart of the film. Track down the original. Watch it and then enjoy this wonderful sequel that deserves an even bigger cult status!FAKESHEMP.NET
