There is one thing this film does well - it has that early 90s dream like haze and summery brightness, it's exactly the same haze and lighting scheme from my childhood
Samurai Cop is my new guilty pleasure. "It's so bad it's good" is a beautiful way of describing this hot mess. The dialogue, the delivery, the cinematography all borders on parody, which to me is the perfect recipe for an unironic comedy masterpiece. The most polished piece of this turd is the soundtrack, which is better than it has any right to be. Samurai Cop is way funnier than most comedies these days, and it's all accidental. I'm so glad the YT algorithm brought me here. Seriously, sit down with a pizza and laugh your ass off from start to finish.
I tried getting this point across to a friend of mine, but no matter how I articulate it, he doesn't believe in ''it's so bad it's good''. For him it's just bad and that's the end of it. I'm sad I can't share the joy that is watching this kind of golden schlock with him.
So for the main character, he actually cut his hair prematurely, thinking he was done filming. However, he was notified that there was more filming that still needed to be done, so he's wearing a wig in some of the scenes LMAO.
Being found in the basement of some long gone buildings on loop using whatever technology they had at the time on a crt lookalike only for those who’ve found it on their interstellar journey having to leave it playing because disconnecting it will completely destroy it. In the end trips are laid on to long gone earth for whoever wants to visit and watch
@@marcusfieldfield4069 I have a theory. Most of dialogue lines and face expressions were filmed during the cast, so they didn't have to pay actors for that time.
@@Laissez-faire402it IS better than those films. They look better because they have a lot of special effects and top billed "stars", but the acting and the script are crap
All the sarcastic, facetious & snarky comments in the comment section don’t realize this movie is considered a Masterpiece of American filmmaking in Japan!
this is the only complete and clean audio version available. i bought the rifftrax version on prime before i knew what i had done. would have rather gotten a RLM version for my money. Thank you for posting this here
@@BoundInChains No, the full version is the only one worth watching, in my personal opinion. It's like somebody telling you are having Spaghetti Bolognese, but they just give you the Spaghetti hehehe
I love D list exploitation films and the late 80s/early 90s ones are arguably the peak of the genre. I'd seen bizarre memes and reactions pics from this film but have never actually seen it. Thanks for uploading
They were showing "The Great Wall" with Matt Damon on TV. I switched it off to watch...THIS. It was the best horrible movie I've ever seen and I watched it to the end! 🤭👏🎖️
when you watch this movie maybe a few times a year. and love it unironically. i need help, i know. but i dont want it. i just want to keep enjoying this gem.
Love how all the characters sound like their dialogue was captured using entirely different sets of equipment, ranging from an empty tin can and a pocket tape recorder, up to a WalMart microphone held half an inch away from the mouth.
Each scene seems to be edited at the end of the camera shot. So there always seems to be something funny like the actors freezing in place waiting for director to say cut
The dialogue from the nurse is award winning writing, the holy grail of art.
17:56 - that reaction face straight to camera is truly beautiful.
That honestly was hot!
No way, his lips are burned
She kinda looks like a blonde early 90s Emma Stone.
Pulp Fiction wishes to be this amazing with dialogue 😂

When Robert Z'Dar is the top-billed star, you know it's going to be a good film.
His top movie Maniac Cop is the classic.

You know a film is going to be of the highest quality when it starts with a synth spamming the pentatonic scale like they've just discovered it.
When civilization finally faces its fiery demise, aeons in the future, I want this to be the only reminder of humanity's existence..
I’d go with Troll 2

It's in the mail. With your pizza rolls.
This is the greatest film in cinematic history. How many academy awards did this win. So much better than Lethal Weapon
I might stop by later so keep it warm.
Best line ever.
The sex innuendos in this movie are funny and straight forward.
Somehow it's more fun than 90 percent of the today's movies.
With a budget of roughly 7,000 USD and an income of 384,000 USD, it’s up there with some of the most profitable films of modern times.
😂 $7000 it had to be more than that ! How much did they pay the actors ?
Probably nothing lmfao

"It means Japanese 9/11"
Movies like these are perfect on a Friday night with a pizza and some cold beer! Pure entertainment
Why are the sex scenes cut out from the movie? Are you nuts? They are brilliant! If Amir was alive, he would sue you.
Once you’ve seen those black bikini briefs you’re glad the scenes were cut!
Whoever uploaded this probably edited them out fearing that RUclips might flag the video for nudity or something.
Thank you RUclips for this gift, this black gift of a video
Bless this youtube channel for having a legendary movie.
Finally, someone uploaded this one of hollywoods greatest film, thanx
I like watching these movies cuz it reminds me of watching old action movies with my pops, good times....
An absolute cinematic masterpiece!!!

Perfect cheese is the ultimate art. Extremely difficult to get it just right. Cannon made a lot of gems.
fucking masterpiece. laughed my ass off drunk sober and hangover. good shit.
Wow. This is definitely one of the movies.
You can say what you want, they did with 7000$ a full Movie and it's better than Marvel and DC
Surely you can’t be serious?
No, it isn't. Don't be ridiculous.

This is legendary. Aside from the often discussed scenes, it’s also amazing how the assortment of bad guys can’t shoot for shit!
I love how it’s a Japanese gang and yet none of them are Japanese apart from the boss 😅
Okamura is Japanese too. He's the only one besides Fujiyama lol
I think Zidar's character is also supposed to be Japanese even tho he's clearly a white guy lolololol

Or at least an hour and a half of it
Omg 45:40 funny af! Didn’t add the sound of the revolver but the trigger has been pulled. Losing my shit watching this show hahaha
Good god 😂😂😂😂😂
That opening theme sounds like something from the title screen of a Super Nintendo game.
Nah, Sega Genesis because of the muffled sound.
Yeah, more like a Sega Genesis game. But it does indeed sound like retro video game music lol
