Samurai Cop

1991 · 96 min

A wildly inept action film that becomes hilarious through its sheer incompetence, with wooden acting and baffling dialogue making it a joy to mock.

Overview
When Japanese organized crime imbeds itself within LA, the police turn to one man to take down the deadly Yakuza — Joe Marshall, aka "The Samurai." With his fearless swagger and rock hard jaw, The Samurai tears a two-fisted hole through the mob and doesn't stop until the job is done.
