Samurai Cop
When Japanese organized crime imbeds itself within LA, the police turn to one man to take down the deadly Yakuza -- Maniac Cop himself, Joe Marshall, aka "The Samurai." With his fearless swagger and rock hard jaw, The Samurai tears a two-fisted hole through the mob and doesn't stop until the job is done.
Samurai Cop (1991), directed by Amir Shervan, Cinema Epoch remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical stereo, two more or less normal commentary tracks, commentary by the 80's Picture House Podcast, commentary by Joe Bob Briggs, Red Letter Media Half in the Bag commentary, RiffTrax riff commentary, Jaboody Dubs riff commentary, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130236/
Video encoded in two-pass 9 000 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to SRT.
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.
