“Samurai Cop” certainly is not a bad title for a movie but everything about this film is just terrible. It’s a boring mess with horrendous acting, shocking editing and a generic plot. Some people find this film to be amusing but I just found it to be incredibly dull. I’d rather watch “Ninja Terminator” three times in a row than sit through “Samurai Cop” again.

Joe Marshall (Matthew Karedas) is the ‘samurai cop’ from San Diego dispatched to help deal with Japanese gangsters in Los Angeles. He is joined by his partner Frank (Mark Frazer) as the two fight against the deadly drug trade of the city.

Joe Marshall is a complete bore. He’s got nothing on Harry Callahan, John McClane or Marion Cobretti. Marshall is a jerk womaniser that spends way too much of his time standing around his underpants. I don’t care about this guy at all. The main henchman is played by Robert Z’Dar from “Maniac Cop”. I wish I was watching “Maniac Cop” instead of this rubbish. The women in the movie have no personality and are just simply there for Marshall to sleep with them. The other characters are all awful as well. Nobody gives even a remotely decent performance in this film.

“Samurai Cop” is awful from a technical standpoint. For example, it has terrible continuity as Marshall’s hair keeps changing from a real mullet to a wig. The action sequences in this movie (if you can call them that) are some of the most pathetic ever put to film. There are so many things wrong with “Samurai Cop” that there is no point in listing all the picture’s flaws. There are amusingly bad movies out there and then there are movies that are so bad that they go beyond that… “Samurai Cop” is definitely in the latter camp.
