- DIRECTOR:
Amir Shervan
- ACTORS:
Matt Hannon, Robert Z'Dar, Mark Frazer, Cranston Komuro, Janis Farley, Gerald Okamura, Dale Cummings, Melissa Moore
- PLOT:
Pretty much the same as the title, honestly
- EVALUATION:
Challenging to get through even while trying to laugh past its many shortcomings, not the least of which is the notion that anybody would ever respect, love, or even tolerate the presence of "Joe" the ruddy-faced samurai cop (Hannon)
- WRITING:
Full of stupid jokes and action dialogue that resembles the tutorial section of a video game ("Faster!" "Shoot!")
- FILMING:
Unflinching when it comes to capturing the natural beauty of the male human form
- BEST PART:
Robert Z'Dar delivers the film's most convincing performance as a Japanese modern-day samurai, and just let that statement sink in for a minute.
- TRIVIA:
The lead actor (real name Mathew Karedas) was presumed dead by fans for a few years before reappearing online and undertaking this film's sequel.
- STINGER:
Robert Z'Dar: "I will bring you his head, and I will place it on your piano."
