The "Best" of Samurai Cop! (1991)

Some of our favourite moments from our very first screening: Samurai Cop!
The title of "Best Worst Character" was given to the charismatic, playful and all around good guy sidekick: Frank!
The movie was voted as worthy of the Hall of Shame. The highest honour than any movie shown at the society can manage to achieve.

The guy who wrote and directed and produced the film is actually pretty interesting guy. He was Amir Shervan, born in Iran. He moved to USA (where he had already studied filmmaking as a younger man) after the Iranian revolution when he was already in his 50s, and started chasing his ultimate dream: directing AMERICAN ACTION MOVIES. His films actually are pretty much American action tropes amped up to eleven, which is understandable since in a way he was an outsider who admired that culture.

The story behind this stuff is hilarious. Basically the director kept accepting the first take of every scene and at the same time made the actors improvise a lot of lines. Eventually the actors became fed up with his shit, so they tried to do more and more rediculous stuff to get the director to do a second take eventually... but he never did.

[@djeddjole]

@@bass-tones I did find out in the meantime, but thanks!

[@doublep1980]

Matt Hannon,who plays the titular Samurai Cop, has done an interview with RedLetterMedia where he tells the story of how this ''cinematic masterpiece'' was produced. Among other things, they shot many scenes without a proper permit, the director had extensive re-shoots done, after Hannon cut his long hair and he just put a cheapo wig on him, many dialogue scenes where completely improvised, because the director/writer didn't actually write some dialogue! At one point, he and his co-star, the dude who played the black cop, where so fed up with all the BS on set, that they used dumb lines, when the director told them to improvise the dialogue, just to troll him. But he didn't get it and left them all in! That's how the whole scene with the nurse came to be. It's absolutely hilarious and the dude seems like a cool guy, with a great sense of humor and self-irony. Highly recommend checking out the interview on RLM's channel.

[@frankiec3659]

I read another interview from him where he said almost nothing was improvised...The director was extremely strict with the lines that he wrote himself. For example Matt tried to tell him that “son of bitches” was incorrect and it should be “sons of bitches”, but the director refused to let him say it the right way. He did say he was fed up with the stupidity of the dialogue and purposely gave his worst performance though.

[@SidiVici]

[@ona3779]

I have a strange appreciation for Frank, he had the oddest reactions to some things but he carried the movie for me.

[@monkerulz]

It's because the director actually asked him to make a few reactions and faces and filmed them all together. And edited them in wherever he thought they would need it. The actor had no clue why the director was asking him to do these takes lol

[@goobienoob3589]

"A filmaker can't make a bad actor do well but can keep a good actor from doing poorly." Fortunately this film had neither good direction, writing, nor actors and is truly a masterpiece as a result.

[@Ironheart73]

4:04, According to Matt Karedas, he was pissed off filming this scene. For one, he had no reference. He was not in the same room with the people he is supposed to be talking two. Second, he argued with the director that it is not "Son of a bitches" but "Sons of bitches". But the director was so stubborn and kept insisting the former. So Matt tried to give a bad performance hoping the director wont use the take. But he did.

[@MrJamaigar]

Typical. The actor doing it all wrong on purpose results in the scene turning out so bad it's good. 😅
