It was at some point in the past few years that actor Matt Hannon, thought to have been dead more than two decades after his starring role in Amir Shervan’s 1991 cult hack and slash flick, Samurai Cop, had to proclaim himself once again to the living. And it certainly lended some noteworthy achievement to the notion that there are people who would have wanted a sequel to the first film despite having been buried in history long before being brought back to life on restored DVD through Cinema Epoch.
Since then, sequel efforts went underway following a kickstarter push last year with Gregory Hatanaka now set to produce and direct with co-star Mark Frazier also returning. Alas, it is a new year and post production is underway just in time for a fresh new teaser to reinvigorate fans who have come to appreciate one of the best/worst films of the past several decades. Yes, the saga continues in Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance! And yes, he’s got a katana… which is Japanese for “sword”.
SYNOPSIS:
It’s 25 years later, and Detective Frank Washington is forced to team up with his long estranged partner Joe Marshall to solve a series of assassinations being committed by a secret group of female vigilante killers.
