Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell (1992) User Reviews

As if the name's not a clue: An Emetic for the eyes!!

Vomitously bad. The wooden style of Acting, ego-enriched dialog, and generic fight choreography means this is headed straight for the garbage pile.

Admittedly, seeing the title of this film, one could be forgiven for assuming it to be deliberately humorous, and worthy of sitting in the same stable as the works of Troma, and Tarantino's god awful latter work - yet this manages to lower the bar to almost subterranean levels: this film is so incredibly awful the Moorlocks would move to the 'burbs..

The redeemable part of this film is the beauteous bevy of sexually ambiguous young ladies suitably fanged (another cliché, but great to watch), and a film this bad allows one to further deter watching films created by this group of people again.

The sky is the limit - HOWEVER, considering this garbage, there was never any risk of this being further air pollution.

AVOID.

(AND having read OTHER comments comparing Zen's work to Bruce Lee's, seriously man, you oughta be shot!)

Brilliance, the most magnificent film piece of all time

[e-macaranas-1996 · 10/10 · 15 August 2012]

In this film, Scott Shaw pioneers and invents "Zen Filmmaking" in which one films random, unrelated scenes and pieces them together to create a film without a script. This movie's narrative, though unscripted, was tremendously thought provoking and utterly game changing. The transitions are not distracting here, the cuts are the highlight of the film. The other big star of the film is Shaw who plays the main character Alexander Hell. Hell as a character is so defined; he shows depth, mastery, and charm that rivals that of a Trix box left in your car for decades. I ate that Trix but it was still good. Oh, Trix. Like that expired box of Cereal , Shaw exhibits a sensational punch to the stomach. Some scenes had me crying harder than I did when I saw the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie in theaters years ago. The technical mastery exhibited here surpasses Avatar (2009) and this film came out 17 prior. Scott Shaw, god bless you soul. You have saved my miserable life. I love you.

One of the greatest movie ever walked the earth!

Bruce Lee, the man behind the concept of modern martial arts movies, is today, years and years after his death, known as a symbol of freedom, love, passion, drama and making art out of kicks, punches and brawls.

And i believe, and know, that Scott "The Man" Shaw, in a couple of years will hit the big silver screen, and become a star in the hall of fame.

This movie isn't just kick ass movie, its a expression, and will always be my favorite kung-fu movie, ever and ever.

If you liked "Enter The Dragon", "Ong Bak", "Street Fighter" and "Kill Bill", you will certainly love, and live, this movie.

Awesome Film

[gothiczen-1 · 10/10 · 28 January 2009]

Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell is an awesome film. It is as simple as that. Why? Well, there are all of these very cool characters. The lead actor with the long blonde hair is a serious hottie. It is shot in some great locations, like this old Asian cemetery. Plus, there is tons of great martial arts in it. I think the filmmakers really produced this movie to be a tongue-in-cheek comedy, as there is some really funny dialogue in it though it is acted out like it is suppose to be serious. So, I give the actors and the filmmakers an A+ for pulling it off so convincingly. This movie is a must-see for the cult film or martial art film enthusiasts.
