RiffTrax, those guys from “Mystery Science Theater 3000” who screen bad classic films and rip them to shreds live, take on “Samurai Cop.”
The craptastic, 1991 action thriller tells the story of two cops on the trail of a renegade branch of the Yakuza crime syndicate that wants to control the L.A. drug trade. The film stars Robert Z’Dar, a veteran bad-movie actor who has starred in two other RiffTrax films, “Soultaker” and “Future War.”
RiffTrax is made up of Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.
