Fans of terrible films rejoice! Cineridge Entertainment has announced that Samurai Cop 2 is currently in development. Samurai Cop is a 1989 buddy cop movie directed by Amir Shervan, a 60 year old Iranian Millionaire who decided he could make an American action movie, and is routinely cited as one of the most unintentionally hilarious films of all time. Samurai Cop ( Not to be confused with Maniac Cop, Hollywood Cop, or Cyborg Cop) stars Matt Hannon as Joe Marshall, who everyone calls Samurai Cop because he trained in Japan in the ancient art of… something. I’m not really sure exactly what He spends the film being racist and flirting in the most obvious way possible.
He’s accompanied by Frank, his partner. Mark Frazer plays the quintessential 80’s movie black partner, who’s basically used for reaction shots (Although he barely reacts to anything) and a bunch of jokes about the size of his dick. Apart from this the film is remembered for Matt Hannon’s glorious haircut, and a sex scene so bad I still get stress headaches when I think about it.
Samurai Cop 2 will mark the return of Hannon and Frazer, and will also feature Martial Arts co-ordinator Gerald Okamura, Kristine DeBell, porn star Lexi Belle, and former James Bond actor George Lazenby. With a cast like that, and with it being based on a movie like the original, this film could very well be the greatest thing ever. Of all time.
“Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance” is slated for a 2015 release. Check out a clip from the original here!
