RedLetterMedia Samurai Cop Commentary

[@Vaporvice84]

One thing Matt Hannon didnt mention when RLM interviewed him, was that he wasnt just any bodyguard back in the 80s, he was Stallone's bodyguard and it was Sly that told Matt to try acting in movies.

[@ATOK_]

Is that true🤯

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

Yeah but sly also his brother to music AND TRY TO ACT!!!!!! Thanks Sylvester! You've inadvertently supplied us with great riffing material!

[@Taz_E_Waz_E]

This video just starts. No intro, no title, just right into them discussing the movie just starts. If this was intentional, master editing

[@Intestine_Ballin-ism]

It's subverting your expectations, by breaking new ground

[@jeremyross9698]

It's a clever nod to how Jay says the movie constantly seems to be starting in the middle of a scene.

LMAO

[@muccmaster]

0:14 Lol Mike was spot on here even down to the directors response. When they interviewed Matt Hannon after recording this he said he thought the film was done so he cut his hair since long hair was going out of style and when the director called him back 3 months later and saw his hair he was furious. Responding with "What have you done?" and "You fucked up my film!".

[@Kastafore]

8:08 "More head-room than a Muppets movie." got me pretty good.

The police chief telling his employees to "get a job" is brutal

[@JanPospisilArt]

For real tho, cops should get a job.

[@jamesgoss1860]

I'm disappointed Mike didn't correct Jay, not recognizing the redhead as Ensign Kellogg on TNG.

[@Goldenspiderducck]

The police chief is the greatest character! His best line is when he’s really frustrated with Samurai Cop and says, “Everyday ends with a TUMS FESTIVAL!!” Best line in this movie….Samurai Cop.

[@masonfreeman5176]

4:08 one of the best lines from an angry police captin in any film EVER. Not even the captain in Last action hero hit that hight.

[@MortonGoldthwait]

Jay: "Now why is there a copy of Roots in her office?" Mike: "Cause it's not her office."

[@peterbenson883]

ah, the video just starts, just like Samurai Cop just starts. it's like poetry, it rhymes, etc.

[@Ringothetankengine-qy1vl]

Samurai cop’s the key to all this

[@ethzero]

Well, at least the actors had fun ❤️

[@melvert33]

Jay is wrong, the red haired woman is not 80s pornstar Krista Lane, she's called Cameron Oppenheimer and she's done quite a few roles in Star Trek TNG and two Star Trek films, she also occasionally a stand in for Gates McFadden. Disgraceful Mike didn't know that actually...

[@3coldcapricorn227]

I was looking her up…for science…and funnily enough not only the star trek connection, she was in pulp fiction too! as an additional stunts person :p

[@d0ysh464]

LMAO, of course there's a Star Trek connection.

[@jb888888888]

Years and years ago I took a screenwriting class, we used a popular "how to write screenplays" book as our textbook. Anyway, it specifically says that the best way to write a scene is to start it just _after_ something important happens.

[@emeraldcelestial1058]

This is my favourite movie of all time.

[@buddhavskungfu]

Seth Rogan and James Franco are going to make a movie out of this.

[@RLMHighlights]

Which is the flirty helicopter pilot?

[@winstonsmith8482]

James franco would have a bad wig and play Samurai cop, Dave Franco would have to wake up everymorning at 3 AM for 16 hours of makeup to apply the prosthetic for the giant Robert Zedar chin.

The gulf in quality between the two Iranian filmmakers I'm familiar with is intense and vast. One of them makes these quiet, contemplative films about human emotions and our need to express ourselves through connections, the other is Abbas Kiarostami.

[@D0NTST4RT]

Watching these scenes without hearing the dialogue highlights how OK the composition of a lot of these shots are! That's the best compliment this poor movie will ever get, but it's something!

[@callumcowan7047]

So I feel it is my duty to correct Jay here and vindicate a little known actress. The ginger/redhead henchwoman is not Krista lane, I looked up Krista Lane, did a cursory 5 minute check. They are not the same humans, she is instead an actress that professionally goes by Cameron, weird stage name? Indeed, just one word. She did quite a few Star Trek roles, playing crew and all kinds of aliens. I mean judging by pictures she played a Klingon. I don't know when this was recorded, but I think the Google search would have the same results ten years ago as now, but I could be wrong. I'm surprised about this oversight from Jay, as he seems to usually be on the ball. Also Mike I'm sure would be interested since she was in Star Trek and apparently he's a fan of Star Trek (I'm a relatively new viewer, excuse me.) Anyway that is all. I'm sorry you were compared to a porn star, Cameron. And also if you read all of this you are a great person.

[@JadenSmithEyes]

Thats good and all, but how were Krista Lane's videos?

[@ekmad]

Yes Mike is definitely a fan of Star Trek

[@alexsandell8260]

I am a great person. Thanks!

[@bladerunner12]

I also looked up Krista Lane and my check also lasted around 5 minutes.

[@Feasco]

"They are not the same humans" something a real human being would definitely say

[@jack-a-lopium]

Police Chief to cop, direct subordinate of Police Chief: 'Get a job!' Ummmm.....

He says that to the mob boss lawyer, not a cop.

Samuri cop is how i start every Cyberpunk playthrough.

[@dosnostalgic]

Surprised that Mike and Rich didn't recognize the not-Krista Lane as Ensign Kellogg from Star Trek TNG.

[@DarthBane123]

Does anyone have a backup of the Samurai Cop actor addressing that he's not dead? He looks exactly the same, it's amazing

[@JamieSwitzer]

1:24 T-Bone

[@MrHornback]

10:55 Who shot the bottle in front of the tv, but missed the screen ? After re-watching a few times, it appears that shot came from Samurai Cop or an assistant already in the room, with a BB gun.

[@toshi7429]

What a great opening

[@florinivan6907]

Samurai cop has all the elements a generic R rated low budget action movie from the 80s and 90s would have. Cheesy dialogue gratuitous nudity bad action etc. But it just feels slightly off. Its like an uncanny valley of action movies. Which makes sense once you know its an iranian director. He knew what such movies had he just didn't know how to mix it up.

[@KilliK69]

OH MY GOD, i never thought id ever see RLM talk about samurai cop like THIS. im so excited to watch. i remember when i watched samurai cop with my bf he was like "uhhh is this real?" i was laughing and telling him "yes its reaaaaaal" lol. i feel bad for the red headded porn actress who used this movie to try to get out of porn and into real movies. it actually seems like shes trying in the movie too.

[@Mausso]

Holy shit... Redheaded henchwoman was in 2 Star Trek movies and Mike didn't notice her!

Was this recorded BEFORE they interviewed the actual Samurai Cop? They seem to be forgetting some details the actor actually addressed like the restaurant scene having different backgrounds

[@aaronwebb1548]

Yeah this was earlier, when they weren't sure if Samurai Cop was even still alive.
