Samurai Cop

Samurai Cop is a 1991 American direct-to-video action film, directed by Amir Shervan and starring Robert Z'Dar, Matt Hannon and Mark Frazer. It is the first installment in the Samurai Cop movie franchise.

Plot
When a Japanese gang runs amok in Los Angeles, the LAPD calls in Joe Marshall, a cop with samurai training, to take them down.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Horrible scene continuity, with many scenes, suddenly changing lighting and time of day, and at one point, one character is clearly played by two different actors in two different scenes.
 * 2) Awful dialogue, such as when Joe Marshall is asked what a katana is, with him replying with "It means Japanese sword."
 * 3) Awful acting.
 * 4) Despite Joe Marshall knowing "fluent Japanese", he always butchers Japanese names.
 * 5) Many of the characters are vague and unlikable.
 * 6) The film is riddled with a lot of plot holes.
 * 7) False advertising: One of the DVD covers depicts Joe having short hair and wearing the usual police uniform, but in the actual movie, he has long hair and usually wears a black vest.
 * 8) In some scenes, Joe Marshall is wearing a wig instead of real hair - this is due to the fact that his actor, Matt Hannon, thought he finished shooting the film and had cut his hair shorter.
 * 9) There are absurd amounts of sexism in the movie against women; they are only in the film so that Samurai Cop can make love with them or for them to look sexy and act horny.
 * 10) The dubbing for a few characters is so bad that it doesn't match their lips or mouth movements at all.
 * 11) Bad audio quality.
 * 12) Terrible cinematography: Many shots are poorly framed, and the camera frequently shakes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack at least fits the film’s tone and atmosphere.
 * 2) Like films such as The Room, Samurai Cop is enjoyable and funny for how awful it is.
 * 3) It is at least better than its sequel, Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance due to it having intentions of being a good movie. Samurai Cop 2, however, is intentionally bad and intentionally worse than this film.
 * 4) "The Undercover Cop" joke is pretty funny and one of the only good bits of the film.
