Disasters in the Making: 07-02-26 “Covering the 5-0 with a blade with SAMURAI COP”
About this episode
Brad and Paul explore the cinematic disaster that is Samurai Cop, celebrating its unique charm and flaws.
Brad and Paul return to the bad-movie Mount Rushmore with one of the all-time direct-to-video disasters: Samurai Cop. The guys dig into the film’s bargain-bin action glory, from its confused buddy-cop setup and wildly inconsistent wig work to the awkward ADR, questionable fight choreography, exploding vans, fake gunfire, and a hero who barely does anything samurai-related until the movie is almost over. Along the way, they celebrate the strange magic of early ’90s B-movies, the lost art of video-store roulette, and the difference between a bad movie that fails and a bad movie that becomes legendary. It is cheap, weird, awkward, unintentionally hilarious, and somehow exactly the kind of cinematic wreckage Disasters in the Making was built to honor.
