The plot is about Detective Joe Marshall (Matt Hannon) and his partner Frank (Mark Frazer) helping the L.A.P.D take down the terrible Katana gang and the ruthless Yamashita (Robert Z'dar). It's so dumb.
The whole thing is awful. The color between shots are terrible. Transitions between shots are nonexistent. It's on the verge of being a porno at times. This is what an 70's exploitation is like in the 90's. It has no place. It is in limbo. The majority of the script was read with ADR so the audio doesn't quit match with everybody's voices. And before I finish the rant of how awful it is I need to address the worst wig in modern day cinema. Hannon cut his hair before reshoots so they bought a woman's wig and put it on him but it turned out over 50% of the film had to be reshot. Wow.
But this is also where the amazingness of this film comes from. Every scene is laughable because it is so bad. The strange sexual quotes that occur out of nowhere. The hornyness of everyone on this police force is unbelievable. How many mistakes were made is unbelievable. How this is even a movie is unbelievable.
Now why they cast Hannon and Z'dar as samurai is a huge question. Why not just get Japanese people to play the samurai? And the fight scenes are so bad they are excellent. Everyone who starts to watch this just becomes entranced. It is so bad but there is something that is solid gold about this movie. I would in no way condone this movie for kids to watch because one scene is a fun chase scene and the next is borderline porn but it would be a great drinking movie.
So overall this movie is bad. The only redeeming quality that this film has is that it is so bad. And unintentionally. So if you love bad movies and have some time to waste I would totally suggest this film. It is still available on Amazon prime. Hurry.
