Samurai Cop, director Amir Shervan's 1989 film starring actors Robert Z'Dar, Matt Hannon and Jannis Farley, has been restored in high definition on DVD by Cinema Epoch and is now available for purchase in a special edition for a limited time on Amazon.com prior to the film's June 4th, 2013 DVD street date. Click here to purchase this new pressing (do not be fooled into purchasing the inferior Media Blasters DVD that was released in 2004). This new version is superior.
While going through boxes last year in a California studio vault, both Cinema Epoch President Greg Hatanaka and Cinema Epoch Producer and Director of Acquisition's Douglas Dunning (he's also a cult actor and voice over artist) discovered the original 35mm camera negative to the late Mr. Shervan's film. It is from this source that the new DVD has been transferred.

During MSNBC’s The Cycle on Tuesday, the hosts grilled MSNBC contributor and South Carolina native Jimmy Williams in pursuit of his insight into the dynamics of the state’s 1st Congressional District and today’s special election. Williams was asked about the revelation that Democratic candidate Elizabeth Colbert-Busch had spent some time in jail due to a contempt of court citation.

Appearing on MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner, political contributor Jimmy Williams opined that Mitt Romney's Mormon faith would be a liability for the Republican hopeful in the South Carolina primary. "Yeah, I hate to say this, but I'm going say it, his Mormonism is a problem down there. I just got off the phone with a Republican friend down there and the first thing he said to me -- this is a stock broker -- he said to me, his religion is a problem. It's just that simple."...

MSNBC contributor Jimmy Williams tore into Herman Cain on Dylan Ratigan's program Tuesday, calling for the besieged Republican candidate to be placed on the sex offender registry. "I mean, this guy was lying. He's a big, fat liar, Herman Cain. I'm going to say it on TV. Herman Cain is a big, fat liar, okay?" Williams lambasted. "When Bill Clinton shook his hand, his little finger at the nation and said 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman,' everybody in the country knew he was lying. You can smell it. This guy is lying. There is no difference between Herman Cain -- being accused of sexually harassing woman after woman after woman, we're now at five -- by the way, there are five flags behind that podium, I just want to point that out. There's no difference between that. Why should Herman Cain, if he's even...

And Cenk Uygur said MSNBC wanted things "toned down." Not hardly--at least not on Dylan Ratigan's show of late. As we've reported, MSNBC political commentator Jimmy Williams argued on Ratigan's show this week that "anybody that thinks the Tea Party exists is smoking crack cocaine in America." Well, turns out that wasn't the only gem Williams had to offer, saying on the program that "one person is controlling the agenda of the United States of America right now, and his name is Grover Norquist."...
