Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance

I can't give it 100%, but 90% only because there are some dull moments that didn't entertain me, but other than that, this seemed like an absolutely fantastic B movie, even better than the first film made twenty-five years ago. It's incredibly cheap, sometimes incredibly stupid, but at the same time beautiful, nostalgic, and with a great music soundtrack. If they decide to make a third film, I will be one of the bidders.

Amir Shervan must have had a weird star constellation above him at the time he shot Samurai Cop, because the movie he produced was unintentionally bad to a phenomenal degree. And sure enough, it’s a delight from A to Z for anyone with a sense of humour – no wonder there’s such a vast fan base today. To build upon such an anomaly was virtually impossible. Gregory Hanataka still gave it a try and came up with this deplorable 90-minute-long extended music video, which draws quite a significant part of the original cast back from oblivion, but as a whole, is barely watchable. What’s the point in being bad on purpose? There’s zero added value from that. The ending, in which Tommy Wiseau seems to have received an instruction from the director to bluntly burp out anything he thought would be funny, is one of the most pathetic climaxes and embarrassing scenes I’ve seen recently.
