Samurai Cop Blu-ray Posted October 20, 2014 05:30 PM by



Independent U.S. distributors Cinema Epoch will release on Blu-ray Amir Shervan's film Samurai Cop (1991), starring Robert Z'Dar, Matt Hannon, Jannis Farley, Melissa Moore, and Gerald Okamura. Remastered from the newly discovered 35mm negatives, the film will be available for purchase on November 25th.



A deadly "Code of Silence" sweeps through Los Angeles as gang violence erupts,taking no prisoners and leaving no witnesses alive. The police find themselves outgunned and out-sword-ed by Fujiyama's infamous Katana gang. Only one man has the training, expertise and swordsmanship needed to break the code. His name is Joe Marshall (Matt Hannon). They call him Samurai. He speaks fluent Japanese. He was trained by "The Masters" in Japan. Joe must strike a balance between his insatiable appetite for women and his quest to stop the gang violence. Endless obstacles abound; A horny nurse, a sex crazed policewoman, legendary henchmen (Robert Z'dar and Gerald Okamura) and countless petty thugs! Hilarity ensues but not how you might expect in this remastered so-bad-it's-good epic cult-classic. Katana [n]: Japanese sword.

Herry Dunston Oct 20, 2014 We live in a modern age where a film like this is commissioned for a sequel. Not sure how to feel about this.

Top contributor Tech-UK Oct 20, 2014 omfg! I laughed so much watching that! Miami Connection and this. What a double bill that would be! (And yes, I do own Miami Connection on Blu )

Top contributor Katatonia Oct 20, 2014 I have the DVD, and would gladly buy the Blu-ray... but not for $40. I can't imagine them selling too many for the current asking price, and it's been that way since the pre-order first went up months ago. Hopefully the price goes down, or is eventually available from somewhere other than Amazon.

Top contributor lilboyblu Oct 20, 2014 Wow, this looks like complete sh!t. Into the wishlist it goes!

JimDiGriz Oct 21, 2014 Ive got the remastered DVD and that might do me really. But this is a damn funny film....WARNING! Dont drink anything while watching this film - trust me on this!



For those who dont know - Imagine Lethal Weapon crossed with a ninja film. But really really bad. On a micro budget. With some of the worst acting and dialogue you can imagine. Stunts you literally wont believe (yep they are that bad).

spankeespangler Oct 21, 2014 Believe me guys, this will be worth the money for the commentaries alone..... WAIT till you hear the 80s Picture house commentary, it rips the film a new A hole - all with love and total appreciation of this magnificent film of course. VIVA La BLACK PANTS!!!

JMDiaz718 Oct 21, 2014 This is something I would buy just to watch with a bunch of friends over beers. However, The $40 price tag, will stop me from buying it. Maybe I can just play the trailer on a loop!!

jaydecay Oct 21, 2014 If you guys like this, look up on youtube the trailer for "Angel of Destruction".

Iron Eagle 74 Oct 22, 2014 Silly me. I expected to get a movie like The Abyss on BD, but instead we get PURE GOLD like Samurai Cop.
