Samurai Cop Special Clip

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION A SPECIAL CLIP FROM SAMURAI COP

A faux vintage title card introduces a “special clip from Samurai Cop,” followed by a rapid sequence of serious-looking close-ups of men in suits, including a bearded man, a long-haired man, an Asian man with a mustache, and a Black man. The narration earnestly explains that they call one man Samurai, that he speaks fluent Japanese, asks whether another man is Fujiyama, and explains that “katana” means Japanese sword; the overly serious presentation and absurdly basic explanation make the clip funny as a reaction to bizarre or unintentionally ridiculous dialogue.

They call him Samurai. He speaks fluent Japanese. Are you Fujiyama? What does katana mean? It means Japanese sword.
