Samurai Cop is a 1991 direct-to-video action film directed, produced and written by Amir Shervan. It stars Matt Karedas (credited as Matt Hannon) as the titular Samurai Cop, a police officer from San Diego, trained by the masters in Japan, who battles a Katana gang within Los Angeles. The film has attained a cult following, and is often cited as one of the worst films of all time.

The following weapons were used in the film Samurai Cop:

Handguns

Beretta 92SB

Officer Joe Marshall, the Samurai Cop (Matt Hannon), carries a Beretta 92SB as his main weapon throughout the movie. His preferred method in combat seems to be rapid firing the Beretta, making good use of its 15 round magazine. A couple other henchmen are seen with Beretta 92's throughout the movie.

Ruger GP100

A stainless Ruger GP100 is the most featured weapon in the entire movie. It is first seen as Officer Frank Washington's (Mark Frazer) sidearm, but eventually finds itself in nearly every character's hand at some point. This is the case with several weapons in the film, as the low-budget production was limited to a select few functioning firearms. Therefore, several weapons get recycled as the movie goes on, but the Ruger GP100 is the most prevalent.

Ruger GP100, the Stainless Version - .357 Magnum

Frank (Mark Frazer) fires his GP100 in the film's opening chase scene.

...and brandished by this hitman...

...and this guy...

...and even being used by Yamashita when he comes to hunt down Samurai Cop!

And also used by Samurai Cop during the same gunfight!

And miraculously falling into Fujiyama's hand during the confrontation!

And then returning to Frank in the very next shot. Notice that because Frank must have his GP100 in this shot, Fujiyama is now armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 19.
