Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance is a 2015 action film--the sequel to the 1991 film, Samurai Cop. It features several of the first film's cast members, including Mathew Karedas (Matt Hannon), Mark Frazer, Cranston Komuro, and Gerald Okamura, as well as newcomers, Bai Ling, Kayden Kross, and...Tommy Wiseau.
Yep.
It is sadly notable for having entirely too much self-awareness and lacking any and all of the ironic comedy from the original film.

The Episode[]
- This episode marks the 5th anniversary of the Tranquil Tirades podcast--not to be confused with Episode 17 - The Fifth Anniversary Show, which marked the fifth anniversary of the first Tranquil Tirades written review (Double Dragon)
- It is the second Tommy Wiseau film to be covered on the show
- This was supposed to be a fun episode to recover from the shitstorm that was Jem and the Holograms; however, the fact that the movie is so absurdly self-aware caused both hosts great disappointment and ruined any chance of it being classified as a Farva.

Tiradesverse Tropes[]
- Protagonists? - Joe and Frank
- Uma Thurman Paycheck - Bai Ling
- Seinfeld Plot Hole - Literally, all Milena/Jennifer had to do was ask Joe to kill the Katana guys. Instead, she concocts a scheme that takes 25 YEARS to come to fruition AND that gets her brother killed.
- Random sex scene - Just like in the first movie
- Massive gunfight - Multiple
- SYMBOLISM!!! - Even in a movie that is clearly trying to be bad, they still try this
- Flubbed line - The police chief calls the Yakuza the "yakuzkas"
- Edited at gunpoint
