Watch Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance For Free

Great Film overall

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It is a lame, lazy, and insane attempt at parody of the original film. The plot is convoluted, the dialogue at times impossible to understand, the jokes are absolutely terrible, the acting is atrocious... And none of it has the 'so bad it's good' feel to it. It's just bad, unbelievably bad. The people behind the project were misguided in every respect imaginable. This film has none of the charm or involuntary humour of the original. It's just unbelievably dull nonsense. Shame on you for trying to make money in such a cheap way!

Wonderful follow up to the cult classic.I first discovered the original at Cinefamily in Hollywood back in 2014 and truly enjoyed it. When I heard that they were making a sequel, I initially brushed it off as cheap knock off or direct to video lesser equivalent... Then I saw the trailer... Then the premiere.Wow! The original actors. Tommy Wiseau. Bai Ling. Gerald Okamura. MEL NOVAK!! This was truly made by a lover of film and of the original. The Cast & director had a Q&A after the screening. Wonderful time was had by all. They all seemed to love working on this film and really shines through.Hope we get a part 3!

SAMURAI COP was among the wave of martial arts movies during the early-nineties and despite being one the worst of them all it had no pretensions. It reveled in its own awfulness and rightfully earned itself a loyal cult following over the twenty-four years that followed. It was a film that certainly didn't deserve a sequel and yet here we are...SAMURAI COP 2: DEADLY VENGEANCE is the long-awaited follow-up that sees Matt Hannon & Mark Frazer reprising their roles and kicking ass as though their last exploits were only yesterday. The film is the result of a dedicated crow-funding campaign and the devotion of director Gregory Hatanaka. Fans owe him a lot of gratitude because the film is an outstanding combination of nostalgia, action, satire and self-awareness.Frazer's detective character is still punching the clock and finds himself investigating a string of Yukuza assassinations. He tracks down his old partner, Harron, who has been off the grid for two decades and the two of them team up to take down a ruthless organization of clichéd samurai killers.Honestly? The storyline is irrelevant. SAMURAI COP 2 is an intentionally contrived throwback film that recreates the aesthetic of the original with a full comprehension of what made that film so bad, as well as an understanding of precisely what fans loved about it. Having Hannon and Frazer reprise their roles solidifies the intended sarcasm and lends the movie a constant hilarity.Harron and Frazer are fantastic. In a case of life imitating art Harron had fallen off the grid prior to the production. He had changed his name and left the industry and it was only when he was tracked down and discovered at the last minute that the script was re- written for his return. He steps back into the game as though he never left. He commands the screen and delivers a hysterical performance that makes it hard to imagine the original script without him. Frazer is great too. He had also stepped away from the camera many years ago and seeing the two of them kick ass again is so damn good.The script is smart and the production values are fantastic. It is a much more controlled and artistic film than the original with strong textures and well handled cinematography. In fact it couldn't have come at a better time with creative outfits such as Astron-6 already laying the way for this particular brand of self-referential nostalgia. Gregory Hatanaka has proved to be a savvy filmmaker with a clear vision and comprehension of the genre. His handling of the action and use of night serves as a clever contrast to the first film, which was shot entirely in daylight with underwhelming action sequences.Enjoying SAMURAI COP 2 doesn't require your knowledge of the original, but I would stress that it cannot be truly appreciated without seeing it. This is a movie packed with throw-back references, as well as countless nuances that serve as a wink to the audience, and newcomers wont recognize the elements at the very heart of the film. Track down the original. Watch it and then enjoy this wonderful sequel that deserves an even bigger cult status!FAKESHEMP.NET

Samurai Cop 2 by director Gregory Hatanaka was a masterpiece of a job. It was one of those action comedies that go down in history as cult classics. I can speak for it deeply since i had the opportunity to meet most of the cast members including the director Gregory Hatanaka as well as one the producers Joe Williamson and some classic excellent cast members like the legendary Mel Novak from (Bruce Lee's Game of death ), the lovely Laurene Landon and of course Thomas J. Churchill. The movie was so absurd and bizarre and unique in its way that i absolutely loved it. From the costume designs to the filming locations as well as the character developments, this film highlights the unimaginable creativity that one can achieve with limited resources. Mathew Hannon, Mel Novak,Laurene Landon, Thomas Churchill, Shane Ryan, Gerald Okamura and everyone played their roles phenomenally according to their characters ! It was an absolute pleasure and honor to meet this entire talented crew; and i hope the come out with a sequel !!! Basil The White Dragon Masters !
