As famous as "Room"?

I read online comments that this is a bad film with the same name as "Room", I found the resource out of curiosity and watched the whole film

To be honest, why do I feel not as bad as I imagined?

Let’s talk about the slot first. The composition of the whole film is strange. Most of the shots of the actors’ faces are out of proportion, which looks very amateur. I watched the high-definition restoration version. The white balance of each individual shot is not uniform, or it is reddish. Either yellowish or bluish, I don't know if it's a problem to fix or if the white balance is not adjusted properly.

The protagonist is a man with long hair and facial paralysis. From certain angles, his face looks a bit like Stallone. Throughout the film, the protagonist has been building his tough guy image with a straight face. Even when flirting with a nurse, he speaks his lines like a piece of wood.

In the close-up of the male protagonist in some paragraphs, it is obvious that when he speaks his lines, his eyes are occasionally glancing at the prompting board...

All the other characters, big and small, seem to be drunk or not awake.

The gangster boss has dull eyes, and the black partner is called the emperor of expressions, but the serious performance is also a very exaggerated performance by the stout and rambunctious waiter.

There are a lot of thieves in the gangster shot. The protagonist chops off the minion's hand. In the camera, you can see that the minion has a clothespin on his sleeve. Most of the shootout scenes are so fake that there are no minions in the blood bag and they fall to the ground one after another. , in the big battle, the black fat man was shot by the N gun and didn't want to fall down, his strength was embarrassing

The male protagonist has no bullets when he encounters his opponent, and he will find a place where no one is in a single PK like an old Hong Kong film. The action design of this film is definitely at the level of children's fighting. It is really true to see their every move... .ridiculous

The good news is that, apart from the main storyline, the movie has also included passionate clips of varying lengths at intervals, and several beauties are considered seductive!

But compared to such a rotten movie as "Room", this one is still normal.

At least there are basic plots and logic, gunfights, chases, action fights, and passionate scenes, but the cost is low, the cycle is short, the actors are not good, and all aspects are not satisfactory.

The quality of videotape movies produced in the 1980s and 1990s is generally so bad. This should not be the worst, nor the most bizarre. Just imagine, if you buy it home, you can see these elements mixed together. What a bike!

————————— The inside story about this movie is as follows ———————————————

SamuraiCop is an American videotape film directed and produced by Iranian director Amir Shervan and starring actors Matt Hannon (aka Mathew Karedas), Mark Frazer, and Robert Z'Dar. Worst case (this is debatable haha), but the film has an amazing online following of American fans. It even successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter and successfully launched a sequel .

To understand the popularity of "Samurai Police" on the Internet, we must first know the screenwriter and director Amir Shervan. Amir Shervan (1929-2006), born in Tehran, Iran, after studying theatre in California, returned to Iran to direct over a dozen Iranian films in the last century, although we haven't seen any of them, presumably They had to be popular enough for him to keep making films. After the Iranian Revolution, he moved to California. From 1987 to 1992, he produced and directed several action films, including Samurai Police.

Amir Shervan was able to make a lot of cheap mass-produced action films in the late 80s and early 90s, however, his film style seems to have failed to transcend cultural differences. Especially when making a film in Los Angeles that focuses on American actors, which is probably why his script looks like Lethal Weapon written by a schoolboy.

"Why can it be a joke?"

The story tells the story of a Japanese fictional gang called the 'Fuji Gang' trying to monopolize drug trafficking in Los Angeles. Joe Marshall, a samurai police officer played by Matt Hannon, and Frank Washingto, a black police detective played by Mark Frazer, came out to stop the evil deeds of the Fuji Gang.

The audience is told in the play that Joe Marshall is from Japan, trained as a professional samurai by a master, but in fact he is just an American. He is said to be fluent in Japanese, although we never heard him say it and he mispronounced the name of Mount Fuji by mistake.

Samurai police officer who can speak fluent Japanese

In addition, due to an error in the director's schedule, starring Matt Hannon thought that the filming had been completed and changed his hairstyle in advance. So the director decided to have Hannon wear a wig midway through the production process, which resulted in some apparent continuity issues in some shots, especially the addition of a whole bunch of shots where Hannon featured a black wig.

And Amir Shervan couldn't shoot at night because of budget problems, so the entire movie was set in the daytime, and the actors also wore their own clothes and drove their own cars to shoot. Therefore, the rest of the feature film is occupied by unintelligible plots, such as the director's misunderstanding of foreign cultures and funny camera cuts.

To make matters worse, most of the film was filmed silently and in one shot. Shervan had to fill in the dub for several months after production, but couldn't get many of the cast back. He chose to use his own voice for the dub and made it distinctive in post-production, which he didn't have the ability to do properly, resulting in a seriously mechanical sound in the dub.

Taken together, the comical dubs, dubious editing, and utterly pointless dialogue lead to the creation of unintentional jokes that are a masterpiece of the golden age of comedy. For viewers who like weird, nonsensical twists, this movie could be a classic.
