And then there's Samurai Cop.
When Edward D. Wood, jr. was called the worst director of all time, it was for one reason.
The critics didn't know Amir Shervan yet.
His Samurai Cop is a movie made so badly it's amazing.
Everything is just fucked up - acting, screenplay, dialogues, camerawork, lighting, editing, continuity, fight sequences, masks, decorations, sound with lots of dubbing even by the lead actors. The hero can't speak and wears a wig that falls from his head during fights. His buddy makes hilarious faces for the most of his footage, because they didn't have enough material for a full length feature. The dialogue doesn't make sense even gramatically. The music sounds like from an Atari computer game.
And I didn't mention really bad looking gore scenes and overlong clumsy sex scenes.
Even though - or maybe just for that all - I love this movie. I have a passion for so badly made movies, when they are not too boring. I enjoyed Deadly Prey, Howling II or even Turkish Star Wars. Samurai Cop might be one of the best in this category. A movie that is so awful, that it's great.
