RiffTrax Live: Samurai Cop

Joe Marshall is your typical San Diego beat cop. Sure, he's got the flowing locks of a runway model, he trained with some mysterious martial arts masters in Japan and he makes everyone call him "Samurai," but other than that, he's just like any other officer. Joe gets transferred to Los Angeles to help the LAPD fight its arch-enemies, the Japanese mob known as Katana. But are Joe's powers enough to defeat Katana powerhouse Yamashita, played by cult action hero Robert Z'Dar? The quip-happy funsters of RiffTrax invite you to join them as they roast a screening of Amir Shervan's ramshackle action flick, Samurai Cop. Get in on the fun at 7 p.m. tonight at Marcus Wehrenberg Ronnies Cinema (5320 S. Lindbergh Boulevard; www.fathomevents.com). Tickets are $14.
