YES!!!

Bummer.

Some bad news, the Frank (Mark Frazer) interview is not going to be able to make it to the DVD on time for the Special Edition release and they do not want to push back the date any further (the silver lining; the DVD is coming soon). However, his interview is planned to be released on a bonus DVD included in the Shervan Boxed set, no ETA on that release as of now though.

Bigger bummer

CHAMPAIGN – Matthew Hannon, 56, of Champaign died at 12:26 p.m. Saturday (March 31, 2012) at home. Funeral arrangements were incomplete at Mackey-Wright Funeral Home, 215 E. Washington St., Monticello.

RIP... His work will live on in the hearts of a select few 

I need to check out AMERICAN REVENGE, his only other starring movie, although he worked as a carpenter on THE BLOB as well which is pretty cool.

That sucks about Matt Hannon passing away almost a year ago at only 56. What was the cause of death?

Also, it sucks they won't have the Mark Frazier interview on the new DVD. So is the release date now officially April 19th as listed on Amazon or still April 23rd as it had been for the last couple of weeks?

I got this morning a confirmation text from Amazon.com that my special edition DVD of Samurai Cop shipped out today and I should have it by the 22nd. Woo hoo! 

[Torgo]

My DVD will be arriving in the mail today!

Go to the 33:30 mark for the interview.

amazing! he lives

how the heck did he manage to stay incognito for so long after his apparently 'confirmed' death?

I used to think everything written on the internet was 100% truth but I'm not so sure now...

[major jay]

He says in the 2nd video that the Matt Hannon name was an alias and that he's going to reveal his real name soon.
Damn, how great would it be if this Greg guy got the band back together (minus Amir of course) and made a sequel?

Samurai Cop 2 is coming soon, apparently

By Katie Rife  Jul 3, 2014 2:11 PM
In a move that's sure to generate slightly more enthusiasm than his partner can muster, Cineridge Entertainment has announced that Samurai Cop 2 is in the works. Amir Shervan's remarkably incompetent 1989 buddy cop movie is routinely cited as one of the most unintentionally hilarious films ever made—and now that people make movies like that on purpose, it's time to give it another go.

Reportedly already on board, star Matt Hannon emerged in a YouTube message to his fans that was posted Tuesday. Hannon only makes vague reference to a sequel, but confirms that yes, he will be doing audio commentary on Samurai Cop, yes, he is wearing a wig, and yes, he is still alive. Perpetually underwhelmed sidekick Mark Frazer and Gerald Okamura—the acclaimed martial artist whose Samurai Cop sex scene has been permanently seared onto fans' eyeballs—will also return. Other names that have been thrown around in reference to Samurai Cop 2 are Meatballs star Kristine DeBell, porn star Lexi Belle, and, oddly enough, George Lazenby and Seymour Cassel. Robert Z'Dar's chin and the lion head made of yarn could not be reached for comment.

"Have you been circumcised"?

SAMURAI COP 2! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!
