Today marks the anniversary of SAMURAI COP, released on this day in 1991. I first became aware of this film through RedLetterMedia’s Half In the Bag episode on the film. It’s definitely a so bad it’s good and definitely worth a watch for D-movie lovers. A few years ago I visited several of the film locations. I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the (barely existent) plot, so I will mostly highlight the location addresses.
