[@mathewkaredas8899]

Well, I have to say both of you were absolutely brilliant and for me being the star of this horrible movie it is always a pleasure for me to hear peoples reactions to watching the movie and I must say this is the first time I have ever seen anyone as a “virgin” give their real time honest opinions of what they’re watching which are 100% spot on. I can only hope being as inquisitive as you both are that as you will see once you delve into the many hours of people who have reviewed and interviewed myself and other cast members you will have all of your questions answered as to why it was so unintentionally horrible. That is the sequel I look forward to from the both of you . I laughed so hard watching the both of you in real time experience this cult movie nonsense. Best of life to both of you MK😎

[@lukaszzylik4437]

You are an absolute legend, sir.

[@NerdyNightly]

I don't think the lead of something we have watched has ever commented on a reaction, especially one where we took the piss as much as this, so to start thank you for this wonderful first. I know we laughed at this a lot, and I can tell you have a great viewpoint that you are coming at this from, but genuinely thank you so much for this film. In the week since I watched it it has brought me so much joy, and "keep it warm" is now my wife and I's favorite thing to insert into every conversation. If there is ever something you're promoting in the future please know I would love to help get the word out, you have an instant fanboy on this channel!

[@mathewkaredas8899]

Thank you so much, that’s very nice. You guys are an adorable couple and was glad a longtime fan had informed me of this review., Truly truly had a blast. I have copied and pasted (hopefully it works) ………a great SC acquaintance who I had done an interview with many years ago, and then he just recently updated a very factual and pretty accurate behind the scenes treasure hunt that he had researched and found. I think you’ll enjoy it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWWwpXSohL9oZpYsi=F14pyUkNtwvm5pA8

[@feralart]

My exposure to Samurai Cop is largely through Rifftrax. *Cue the Samurai Cop Rockin' Action Theme

[@peterosky790]

Years ago I interviewed Matt, the actor that played Samurai Cop, and got him to tell my friend's mother to "keep it warm". Best line EVER.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

For a $7,000 budget It made $387,000 world wide. Now it’s a B-Movie classic.

[@ExUSSailor]

The bad guy is played by B Movie legend Robert Z'Dar, who suffered from Cherubism. It's a genetic disorder that causes excessive bone growth in the lower face.

[@detroitpolak9904]

@@ExUSSailor I actually know of him because Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did Future War and Soultaker. In Soultaker they show a close-up of Z’dar and Crow says “He’s basically a catcher’s mitt with eyes.” That’s one of the greatest jokes I’ve ever heard.

[@hermunkulus]

You guys have to do a Neil Breen movie. His filmography is a trip to say the least. Fateful Findings is his most notable one. Also regarding the hair: The lead actor thought shooting had finished, but the director informed him that there was more shooting. The director got a lady's wig for him to wear for the rest of the shooting. Red Letter Media did an interview with the lead actor on their KZbin channel which sheds light on the whole production process. It's an interesting watch.

[@SetsunaF916]

Omg please do Fateful Findings.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

Breen is the actual Best of the Worst. He broke RedLetterMedia whom specialise in this subject matter.

[@MiqelDotCom]

Yes yes yes!

[@TheDriller-Killer]

​@@SetsunaF916 Or Double Down, both bona fide classics 😂😂😂

[@purefoldnz3070]

that's low hanging fruit

[@Moricant]

The camp waiter was played by Joselito Rescober, a medical doctor who was one of the main investors for the movie. He had worked with the director multiple times, so he knew very well what he was getting into.

[@caseykod4406]

Avoid the sequel like the plague. It’s totally aware of the joke and is just plain bad. Watch Miami Connection instead!

[@DJBell1986]

I second this.

[@NatrixHasYou]

While true, it's worth it for whatever Tommy Wiseau is doing in it. I'm still not sure he knew he was filming a movie, much less what his roll was in it.

[@misterkite]

The RiffTrax version is pretty awesome.

[@questionablehumor2800]

56:52, ladies and gentlemen... the only actual samurai in the film is a suzuki

[@davidmeir9348]

You're right. After the shooting was done, actor Matt Hannon cut his hairs and was told by the director that they were in fact some more scenes to shoot, hence this obvious and ridiculous wig 🤣🤣🤣

[@rodentnolastname6612]

Of Note; they only had a couple of guns. You only see 2 or 3 armed henchmen in any particular scene. They then had to hand off the guns to the next group of henchmen. Wash and repeat. 🤣🤣🤣

[@noteasybeingweezy]

Let's keep this going. Please do Miami Connection next!

[@feralart]

Friends for Eternity 🎶

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

If you love terrible movies that’ll give you a laugh, Remember to add to your watchlist the room, double down, faithful findings, and other Neil Breen movies.

[@emberise6613]

Thank you, Clarus, for bringing this about. This reaction is almost exactly how my friends and I reacted to watching this film. I still remember that ridiculous stethoscope 'flirting' scene.

[@Version0111]

Great reaction. I'll definitely be back for Samurai Cop 2. So... ...Keep it warm 😁

[@vertexaspiration7895]

29:14 - 30:00 the head of the fuckin fake lion on the wall 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@lukaszzylik4437]

Holy crap is this a new shitty B movie reaction arc for you guys? YES! I highly recommend "Miami Connection" its another classic. "Geteven" also called "Champagne and Bullets" is one of the best vanity projects ever.

[@feralart]

Miami Connection is just pure fun. Sure, it's bad, but they're trying earnestly to make a movie.

[@darthevil9999]

Exactly what happened. He cut his hair then had to do reshoots.

[@mauriceedwards9588]

This is so bad it was shot completely during the day there was no money for night shots all the woman are horny for Samurai Cop as he is for them but it's the angry Captain that makes it for me. 😂

[@drusillathetinsmith]

The weird saturation: The normal practice was to let the take continue for a tiny bit longer before you yelled cut. This was to compensate for the analog camera reel slowing down when the motor was shut off. The last few extra seconds from the longer take would have yielded a drastically different color temp, and would have been sacrificed. Amir Shervan threw out the normal practice because the budget was so tight, cutting exactly when the scene was supposed to end and badly exposing the last few seconds of footage before the cut. The size of the crew shrank with the budget as production dragged on, to the point that Shervan was doing most of the ADR voices himself. The film could not be color graded properly for the same reason.

[@darrenl3289]

A possibly worse movie than this, Miami Connection! It is also a martial arts movie Birdemic is in a class all by itself.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

Yes, there was almost a year long pause in filming but none of the cast was told. They assumed it was wrapped. Then the phone call came to go finish the film. The lead actor had indeed cut his hair thinking the film was done. They literally dashed to the nearest beauty shop and bought the cheapest wig there 🤣🤣🤣

[@mannykhan7752]

Guys I'm pretty sure Mike Hannon, Star of the titular movie is also laughing with you at how ridiculous it is. He has given a bunch of interviews where he literally explains how unpredictable the whole experience was and how he was not able to find any work at all in Hollywood after doing that movie.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

I need an entire movie about the Yarn Lion.

[@snarkyhostile8371]

Me and my wife have a great fondness for earnestly made bad movies, so this would be our top five: 1.) Birdemic 2.) Miami Connection 3.) Samurai Cop 4.) Fateful Findings 5.) The Room All brilliantly bad!

[@oneopinion6806]

My power trio of BEST Worst movies include Samurai Cop, Miami Connection, and Action U.S.A.. All three are an absolute riot!

[@Darkja]

Neil Breen movies are a big one, and Andy Sidaris has a wohle universe and over a dozen movies too.Fight of Fury (by Shunny Bee) is a nice stand alone. Also, Zardoz! (With Sean Connery! btw)

[@rodentnolastname6612]

Of Note; the cocaine was NOT in the lion... 🤣🤣🤣

[@feralart]

You absolutely have to see Rifftrax add their commentary to this movie. They even made a song to go with it at the end of their Rifftrax Live version.

[@Illjwamh]

I am officially taking credit for the "bad movies only" Patreon poll idea. So glad my picks lost out and you guys watched this instead; I'd never seen it before and enjoyed it as much as you did. You do definitely need to watch Birdemic and Fateful Findings someday, though

[@MiqelDotCom]

Yarn Lion and the Police Chief are the real stars of this flick!

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

About Robert Z'Dar's cheeks, he suffered from a genetic disorder called Cherubism. It got more pronounced throughout his life. He's in a lot of B-Movies. Oh and that great line about being an undercover cop was improvised. I think the actor had trouble getting over the fence.

[@cstephen98]

After watching this, you should watch Bowfinger. It's basically a comedy about making a movie like this with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, directed by Frank Oz (Fozzy Bear)

[@zTom_]

Bowfinger was surprisingly good! 😂

[@17thknight]

"Would you like to touch what you see?" "Yes I would." Healthy communication

[@darkmaer]

Miami Connection is my favorite.

[@hectorrodriguez9382]

40:14 Now I'm obsessed with the map in the wall... Could it be the Westlands from WoT?

[@ExUSSailor]

One of the best-worst movies of all time! It's like "Lethal Weapon", if it were written, and, shot by a 10 year old.

[@djgizmoe]

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't make that connection. Buddy cop, one black one white, Mel Gibson had longish hair, cop buddies all get killed toward the end. Only thing missing was a dog.

[@Version0111]

Half way into this reaction and I'm like "I don't remember any of this from when I saw Samurai Cop as a kid." So i looked it up. Turns out I never saw this movie. The terrible cop movie I saw was called Sgt Kabukiman and I've just thought it was called Samurai Cop for the last twenty something years.

[@lastword8783]

The "It is black....right on" is funniest part of the movie for me. Like theres no way they wrote that hahaha.

[@questionablehumor2800]

14:12 Jeeziecreezie! I've only ever seen the Rifftrax version of this... holy monkey of god this is an absolute trainwreck!

[@rodentnolastname6612]

When they said there would be a "hot oil scene" that is NOT what I was expecting 😀 (technically she DID "keep it warm" for him) 🤣🤣🤣

[@josephkrengel]

If you want to see a movie with WORSE colour grading, check out Black Ninja.

[@suthius85]

Oh my goodness you guys are awesome for this! Double Toasted does a hilarious Roast of this!

[@Paxford0502]

Diagnosis: no way his lips are burned

[@Steef_Lee]

What’s that movie from like 12 years ago or so where the cop travels through time and fights super Hitler and dinosaurs?

[@tehdipstick]

Kung Fury, I think?

[@Steef_Lee]

@@tehdipstick you’re right!!! Thanks!

[@QuickdrawMcShawthe1st]

Would be interested in your takes on Velocipastor. Also, would be great if you started signing off your videos with "We'll see you again soon, so... keep it warm."😂

[@hanshaler9933]

I saw the poster for that movie in our local video store and thought "That must be a cool movie." but never watched it. I'm glad you guys did that for me 33 Years later and spared me the suffering... 😉

[@JamesTillmanjimthegray]

im told that he has a wig sometimes bit not always do to reshoots so bad but very fun bad

[@AustinStarDust]

I’m commenting as I am watching your reaction. First off, this is suppose to be something like the Lethal Weapon movies back when Mel Gibson had longer hair. Second, the lead actor actually had long hair. Six months after the production, the director wanted to add more scenes. But the actor had cut his hair, so the director had him wear a wig.

[@25isopods]

this movie is so fucking awesome. my favorite character is the flaming gay waiter who thinks suicide is fucking hilarious i just know he and i would be besties and then enemies and then husbands

[@kokenyesybalazs54]

Fanboy Flicks have pointed this out, but I too love that for a Japanese criminal gang it's pretty diverse! Man, the amount of cocaine everyone snorted on this set...

[@frankmahovlich5099]

When they poured the hot grease/oil on the "girl" cop, they were just helping her to keep "it" warm for him. Much of this movie brought mind the 1950's films of director Ed Wood.

[@questionablehumor2800]

34:29 that's an ancient samurai technique called "sunapu duressu to edito'wa".

[@legaultrants]

Oh there is a movie that's totally ADR called New York Ninja. It's worth a look. Also, like Samurai Cop and Miami Connection, it had an absurdly great poster.

[@iambicpentakill971]

That roof guy took the acrobat skill and he is going to use it 100% of the time whether it helps or not. Source: Have done that

[@jabbra1837]

What does Katana mean?

[@bearzerger]

Oh, it's warm and ready.

[@Stefi-P]

You have to watch Red Letter Media interviewing the lead. Very enlightening.

[@aaronbourque5494]

The first movie to be filmed on digital film (Windhorse) was in 1996, Samurai Cop was released in 1991...

[@danlayne9436]

Robot Holocaust is an absolute must!!!

[@DJBell1986]

51:25 I wanna recreate this movie shot for shot in GTA V

[@peterosky790]

Robert Z'dar, the man with the cheeks, had Cherubism. A rare condition that made his face look that way.

[@DanielGarofalo100]

I love how clarus is trying so hard to make any sense of the movie and find any kind of plot in it to just end up like... "what?!?" Points for effort though, but the secret is there is no sense or plot 😂😂😂

[@AntLeonardi01]

Of course they put the lion sculpture in the thumbnail

[@anunnacy]

6:25 Can we speak about the super small window?

[@darrenl3289]

The movie is so bad, it removed Nerdy's ability to speak coherently... "It's Kate Mara in Fan Force Stick." rofl I can't believe Clarus didn't just call him out on that line butchery Joe Marshall aka Samurai, that is a guy that desperately wanted to be 90s Mel Gibson. Compare it to Lethal Weapon and see all the inspiration lol

[@questionablehumor2800]

Came back here after Roherram to reset my palette for film.

[@DJDennyRay]

Please please please watch the Rifftrax LIVE version of this movie!!!

[@purefoldnz3070]

the lady on the right looks like she could be from the Samurai Cop universe.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

I included this in my First (and only) Annual B Movie Festival 🤟😎

[@finalmonkey9456]

This is the best worst movie we’ve ever seen. Troll 2: hold my beer

[@dandoll4405]

You laugh at the gas chamber line but it was still used in the US at that point. The last time they were used was march 1999.

[@mysterfrosty]

I only clicked on this because i thought it was Just Trust Ash.......judgement will be withheld for a bit......watching now...

[@bensneb360]

Happy Birthday Clarus, enjoy Samurai Cop and all it’s cheesy goodness

[@zacatkinson3926]

Its not racist or homophobic there are real people like that out there, they exist, arent they supposed to have a diverse cast?

[@TK_Brainslug]

the budget was like 7000 $

[@rodentnolastname6612]

"this script..." there was a script? 🤣🤣🤣

[@ethanholgate2512]

I highly recommend another classic great bad movie in Ed Wood's Plan 9 from outer space 😂🤣

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

The beat is on the 2 and 4. It's a normal beat, 4/4.

[@Moricant]

Bad Movie Bible made a great video recently looking at the story behind how this movie was made and gained its cult status.

[@zenn69hendrix]

can we have reaction of "Samurai Cop 2" ??

[@TheDoomspeaker]

The bad guy samurai arrived to the last scene in a suzuki samurai too!

[@daveemerson6549]

I feel like one of these days Nerdy is gonna go "OOOOOOooooooo.........." and get stuck like that.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

More in this genre - Troll 2, Sleepaway Camp, Death Spa, Maximum Overdrive.

[@nobbynobbs8182]

I've finally watched it the other day and it was highly entertaining

[@rafakoodziejczyk1318]

aww you watched censored version... shame, it's take away a lot of "good edit" scenes XD

[@questionablehumor2800]

An amazing catalog of questionable movies... Troma Productions and Lloyd Kaufman!

[@joshseidel3417]

I would love to see more bad b movie reactions, I laughed so much during this, 😂

[@ShantalhaitianPrincess]

this reminds me of a movie me and my friends made in high school lol

[@garydodd2837]

I havnt seen this film but The Room with Tommy Wiseu has to be the best worst movie ever surely!!

[@deanthemachine8879]

Neil Breen elevates movie making to all new horrible heights

[@bligemonk2283]

The cuts are so unintentionally funny.

[@derekk8523]

No champagne and bullets is the best worst movie

[@misterkite]

Calls her an old lady... born when I was a senior in highschool... grr.

[@aprils9178]

Now I gotta watch this.

[@karlack2682]

Double down next, double down next.

[@MrNathansdad]

Clarus' fault? Or Clarus' credit? 😏

[@everantillon1086]

a master piece!! ...ok just a piece ...of shit

[@Vlad.Larionov]

Great! It is very interesting to see your detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool movie 🦾🤖🔥 Do you have any plans to do it?
