Welcome to your VERY EXCLUSIVE video in which Michael J. Nelson and I (I being Kevin W. Murphy) Discuss the film we had just freshly riffed, KARATE COP. A few salient features of this video for you to enjoy:
- You will notice that Bill Corbett is absent. We believe he had a pressing engagement elsewhere, but there’s a possibility that he simply doesn’t love you as much as Mike and I do.
- We were confused as to whether Karate Cop was a sequel to Omega Cop, or the other way around. It is indeed a sequel, but the only thing this film has in common with the previous film is that the star wears the same hat and does very little actual karate.
- We were confused about what happened in the film. This isn’t uncommon for us, even though we had just finished watching it.
- There is a reason for this: This frequently happens to us at RiffTrax, because immediately after recording a riff, we dump the memory of the film from our brains, simply because we need to make room for the several other titles we are working on. That’s how much we care; we erase whole chunks of our memory so that we can keep bringing you more and more quality entertainment. You’re welcome.
- There is another reason for this: The plot of Omega Cop is rather convoluted and confusing to start with.
- For example, in the backstory it seems to be casually accepted that people can teleport over long distances. That’s right, while acid rain dissolves clothes and rogue cops eat dog food and jacky-rabbit stew, the miraculous act of transcending all accepted laws of physics is commonplace.
- One more thing: DAVID CARRADINE has a brief, mumbly, greasy cameo in this feature. He seems to have written his own lines and it is implied that he may be a cannibal. Both of which make him the most believable and richly drawn character in the film.
And there you have it. Enjoy Talkin’ RiffTrax: Karate Cop! And thank you for your Patreonage.
