He's aged like 4 days since samurai cop came out
+Andrew August Making bad movies keeps you young! ;)
+Andrew August PUS1 keeps people from aging...
that illumanati
I'm 25 and i'm jealous right now. Kind of like A skinny Fabio.
I think he has gotten younger tbh
This guy is Mathew McConaughey in an alternate timeline.
One who gave up acting and got jacked lol?
this guy is way cooler
Such a strong ancient looking man.
Pos-apocalypse Matthew
I'VE JUST IMAGINED THIS GUY IN INTERSTELLAR XD
He seems like a nice guy who got ripped off and got his dreams crushed by an evil industry
aren't we all!
@@cakewolf44 you're right
There's a great lesson to be learned from him. Always go 100%. You hear why his acting is so wooden; the director is incompetent, the production is shoddy, and he's getting dicked around, and so he's phoning it in. And you hear his story and it's totally understandable. But all that matters is what ends up on film, and people saw that and just thought he was a bad actor. Rise above the situation and be the best part of a bad effort.
Mike??
He went to prison for robbery.
Humble guy who know how not to take himself not too seriously: I respect that. A smart producer would hire this guy to make slapstick movies à la Naked Gun. I bet he would rock.
hell yeah!
@randomguy8196 With all current comedians being woke and sucking up to the establishment nowadays all a good comedian has to do to succeed is tell the truth.
@randomguy9777 better than Chris Rock
B movie world has a sea of opportunity for comedy and/or remakes. Problem is, the business is completely castrated by PC.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 Totally agree. Comedy is dead. Killed by the left.
It makes me so happy when actors in bad movies realize that their movie was shit, and have so much fun with the ironic popularity.
You have to sing at Wallmart? And I thought my retail job was bad.
Happens pretty often actually.
The best has to be Michael Caine when he was asked about Jaws 4.. "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
@@carebear1470 I know this comment is super old, but I'm still replying. I've worked at Walmart for 6 years. There is a Walmart theme song, but it is rarely sang or even spoken about. It's too hard to sing when your soul is being drained from your body.
@@TheIcarusFalls 😂😂😂
I like how self aware he is.
You see that movie, how can you not. Not everyone a great actor you just kind of accept it and it made him famous and I think it cool to at least always be remembered as cult classic
"...I'm gonna make that big jump, and head to L.A., and uhh *chuckles* become a big star."
Hey man , actings a job and people gotta eat .
That wig reminds me of my old hair😂
He’s flexin in every other sentence.
Can you imagine The Expendables like movie starring him, Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen? The non stop action filled with katana's, laptops and throwing football!
Shut up and take my money!
Samurai Cop 2 has Tommy Wiseau in it. Next best thing
A short summary. As the emperor of a futuristic empire in outer space, he and his bodyguards (all hot women) arrive on earth to colonize it. But than a helicopter arrives with samurai cop in it. And his our evil corporate villian. And Tommy wiseau plays an old wizard who tells Neil breen of the dangers on earth.
Those would be the real expendables as in they don't worth a spit.
He hang out with real american hero
He is a surprisingly down to earth guy considering that he-- uh--
...actually you know what? It totally makes sense that he is a down to earth guy.
Tell that to Steven seagal

Sad Toast he really does, jawline and everything
Because of this movie 😂
That's because they gave that part to his twin, Miles O'Keeffe.
Still looks like an Argentinian football player from the early 80’s
Like Mario Kempes in the 70's
He kind of looks like Mauricio Pochettino actually.
Ed Dixon how the hell does he look like Pochettino???
@@trollface865 Yeah, Poch has a head like a Squishy
Batistuta!!! Well that was more like 90's
He's got a good memory for details this dude considering it was a few weeks 30 odd years ago.
I don't think anyone would ever forgot details about filming that classic movie masterpiece.

@@redpillforreal3053 it's a reference to to the horny nurse in Samurai Cop, when she teases Joe Marshall for having a smaller dick than what she wants by saying his doctor probably cut too much of his dick off.
Lmao
Holy shit, this dude is 51 years old. Lookin' badass for your age bro.
+superhamzah85 he aged even better than Big Boss, even ocelot didn't age better than Big Boss!
+superhamzah85 did you take note the amount of PUSSY this guy has gotten... adds to Youth
of course hes samurai cop dude
This guy works out and probably Does not drink nor smokes cigarettes. Hit the gym and eat right if you want to look young when old
+dosiaman he smokes and drinks he's a regular
I can't believe this was made in the 90's! It looked late 70's early 80's.
I thought it was made in 1975.
@Michael Some studios keep 70s camera equipment as backup. Some studios still even have 30's cameras and lenses. Just in case Tarantino, JJ abrams and peter jackson show up. Or a director wants the classic look
@@raymondleggs550890s b-movies all looked like that
They seemed genuinely stunned when he said he studied drama.
He seems so much more natural when he isn’t “acting”
That would be because when a person isn't acting it is natural...
That is a KILLER MANSPREAD.
Yup I can't spread my legs that far Evan if I forced them hahaha
Feminists must hate him.
Alpha af
Alfa male 🐸👌
This is almost a legit split
"He got killed. he wasnt able to defend himself or his wife"
Matt hannon: *laughs warmly*
Matt legit comes off as a good dude. One of the great guests in the RLM pantheon.
I just lost my mind. I have heard of this film. My friend, Gerald Okamura, is in it. But when I recognized one of the interior locations as Grandmaster Eric Lee's home where I shot my first feature with both he and Gerald, I realized how small the martial arts world in movies really is.
Title of your film please!! I love the 80s action movies.
@@RavnerRavner "The Master Demon" and it was produced for the price of a script in 16mm.
@@SirSmoldham awesome thanks 👍
@@RavnerRavner FYI, only one film book documents its existance, "The Psychotronic Video Guide" by Michael J. Weldon. Que Sera Sera.
Pretty cool. Glad to hear Gerald Okamura is still kicking, literally. RLM would probably love to interview him, he's been featured in several episodes.
This guy is such a boss. It's great to hear these stories, and he seems much more like an intelligent, likeable guy than.. certain previous guests. I'm amazed at all the details he remembers, and just how much stupidity actors will try to work with for a chance. When you see an actor pull off such a stupid role you generally think they're just bad actors, completely on board with the movie, but this guy is really cool.
I'm just... kind of scared of his eyes. They are so.. piercing.
The details are probably fresh in his mind from his interviews for the blu-ray. but i do agree, to bad we have to wait for part 2.
which previous guests were you referring to?
I agree, i cant imagine the frustration they must ve felt doing that movie.
+roywhiteo5 I have been waiting to see that joke for eight years
+Shilag yeah, Matt is great. Prolly their best guest ever.
"Vault" is Japanese for a "storage facility that stored films"
You must be fluent in Japanese, thank you for the translation👏🏻
Hahahaha
I don't know why it took me so long to find this... what a normal, decent guy.
I love this guy. He doesn’t take himself seriously and is completely in on the joke that the movie was terrible.
I'm dying over this completely silent response to the van question and excited to unpause for the rest of this.
Ikr, I was like wtf was that shit. Dude eyeballs were out of his skull haha!
Literally why I stopped to scroll. I'm in hysterics!
They make that on purpouse dude
@@juanmanuelalamanromero615 thanks cpt. obvious :V
He had the look of murder on his face 😂
How the fuck does he still look so good? Dude doesn't look a day older than 33. I'm sitting over here in my mid 20s and i look like I've been through 2 world wars.
thats Samurai cop
I think it's from:
- Being relatively thin
- Good genes
Good genes, not missing work outs
marijuana maybe
"You're not ugly, you're just poor"
He seems so nice, well adjusted, and self-aware of how goofy the movie is. It makes me happy to see him being so open about everything.
This is the greatest thing UA-cam has ever recommended.
That nurse scene still haunts me to this day
Haunts?
BINGO :D
Are you circumcised?
Soo true😂😂😂
That screams the intro to a porno half the movie does
I just hope this guy gets more work cause of this...
Same. Hes actually a good actor considering the circumstances.
he did, one year late on Samurai Cop 2
It's really amazing how Matt Hannon recalls so many of the details and locations.
He isn’t a bad actor ... he’s in bad productions with bad directors, low budgets ... he needs a better talent manager.
Like Hayden Christensen
He can’t act, none of them can, he needs to learn. His goofy expressions are hilarious.
Nothing is bad, the film was supposed to be like that since they did all those in one take/real time so just like how the movie is like 3 hours, they shot the movie for 3 hours as well. The film wasn't supposed to be taken seriously
Well, he's definitely not a good actor.
He found his lane!
His hair didn't thin at all and he has barely wrinkled. that's impressive
@Daniel Cinematographer Dude's in his 50s. Looks great for his age. 👌
@Five Gates and a flannel that's pure Portland.
You can tell his skin got thinner which happens as you get older but yeah, he still looks really good for his age.
Except it was a wig.
It was a wig.
Is Matt Hannon the real life version of Disney's Tarzan or am i just imagining things
He DOES look like the inspiration. Great eye.
Holy shit... Cast this dude as Tarzan. Give him a good script and he would kill it. He is like 6'5", ripped, and tan.
Dude, good call. Spot on.
@@afrocoolio25 yep. And Tarzan doesn't need a lot of acting just be awkward and shit. Matt can really pull that shit
Those morons at Disney would never hire this man. And u know why. Lol
He speaks fluent Japanese y’all.
he knows about the katana and all
what does katana mean?
Samurai cop- it’s a Japanese sword. 🤯
We need to get this man a serious movie where he can really use his acting skills! Let's make it viral!!!!
Well there's kickstarter for sc2 in description i dunno if it succeeded or not🤷
anything is possible the only matter is whether he wanted to jump into these acting field seriously is up to him
There is samurai cop 2 in 2015 which is a huge improvement compared to the previous movie.
I am 100% convinced that Matt could have done pretty well if the material had been better. He comes off as a really cool, charismatic guy here.
He doesn't like sand, it's course, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
Dallas Van Winkle He said Matt, not Hayden Christensen
Mf'er made this film when I was 6 and he still looks younger than me...
Looks like the Mr Hannon has found the fountain of youth.
Exercise?
beyondinfinate What the fuck is that?
beyondinfinate
What? you mean the donuts won't work for me :( ?
I've heard of sexercise, but not exercise.
Daniel Thureskog You are my hero
To be honest, his dialogue delivery was smooth, like a good actor. He was calm, confident and didn't rush.
This guy still has the old school spirit. Damn i wish he have new movie
The 80s cocaine still hasn't fully worn off
HAHAH TRUE
everything was organic back than.
Hhahahahahahahah
Those eyes
What is UP with his eyes lol.
This guy is like a buff and mellow Weird Al Yankovic.
He kind of reminds me of Matthew McConaughey, particularly in True Detective.
BathroomTile if he had a beer and a smoke he'd be perfect
BathroomTile he probably drives a lincon too
seriously, what’s with the van? 😂 that awkward silence brings so much curiosities
Holy shit guys. This video was so cathartic. So many questions answered. I wasn't ready for this level of satisfaction.
Jesus I hope I age that well!!! 👀
If he had glasses, he'd look like Weird Al. Haha
You probably can! Looks like the guy is still in great shape so I would assume his graceful aging is in large part due to a consistent healthy lifestyle.
Don't smoke
It's nutz tho. He looks like he could be like 36 or some shit. Crazy.
Gym force hydration first thing in the morning moisturise with coconut oil cold showers and eat well ☺
Wow, what an interview. Matt Hannon is very different from the way I assumed he might be like. He's super articulate, witty and really has it together, and he seems like a really NORMAL person who would be fun to hang out with. After hearing his thoughts on doing *Samurai Cop* it's clear he's been a really underrated actor then and now. I'm glad this movie has had a resurgence because it's obvious there have been some great actors over the years that, for some strange reason, their careers just never seemed to blossom the way you'd think they should have. I'm just sorry we didn't get to see more of this cool guy on the big screen over the past 25 years but it's great seeing him here and this interview is the best ever because it really illustrates just how cool Matt Hannon truly is.
Mike Hawk He gives me a Bruce Campbell vibe.
Like this could have been Bruce if he didn't have a Sam and made a moviè with some other asshole.
Maybe in another reality this guy starred in the evil dead.
Mike Hawk he sounds like john Wesley shipp
@@BigDaddyZakk420 Blasphemy!
@@BigDaddyZakk420 Stuckmann is a weenie
Ha ha ha! What a great story mike
Dude has an outstanding memory. Some of this was one off scenes from 30 years ago.
Well I think such an experience is hard to forget lol
What a genuine guy, glad he still acknowledges this movie and sees its faults but still has some passion for drama and acting even to this day.
Much respect to Matt. He seems like a level-headed guy and, yeah, it's a movie "famous" for being bad, but he seems to have had - is having - fun with it.
I don't think it's that Hannon hasn't aged--I think he's a time traveler and he just jumped from 1991 to now.
Hannon's aged. You just can't tell because he's sitting next to a couple of rickety aging hack frauds.
Yep, maybe he's the next Terminator.
He's just come back from 1991 because Amir needs to shoot some more scenes for the movie he forgot.
also hes a cop
Hannon got better with age.
The fact that he’s so chill and such a good sport just makes him even more epic
If they ever do a Type O Negative movie he would be perfect for Peter Steel.
Yeah movie would be called "Everything dies", action packed slasher with vampires
What a great baby portrait behind Mike and Jay.
It's Baby Rich Evans and it has made many appearances in RLM productions.
Yes it's baby Rich Evans. I believe the painting is supposedly cursed, or brings bad fortune, or something. That's why it's in RLM office.
Darth Sandwich Wow. Now I know.
It's a baby portrait of Rich Evans, and legend has it that if you look into it's eyes at midnight and say "Rich Evans" three times, you're cursed with a high pitched laugh and type 2 diabetes.
Well. It's creepy as fuck.
If Netflix was smart, they would make a series.
You know about Netflix because netflix was smart enough to be known by everyone
Yes!
Lmao yesssss
Samurai cop return's...
🙏
They are not....
What a good dude. Top shelf guy. Good sport, excellent interview.
That's why I like this channel.
gotta be honest.... this guy is a pleasure to listen to. Super chill, humble, knows how bad his movies are and he’s accepted that. Hopefully he’s doing well with whatever he ventures into going forward.
that is one glorious manspread
i'd like him to manspread my legs ;)
Cetera Noir its called sitting. - Real man.
fuck that. if they wanna call it manspreading its fine. i'll still do it

As good as Len Kabasinski’s.

Oh Samurai Cop...this interview is as entertaining as the movie seduce us with the calm jazz music in the background and Matt Hannons laid back vibe. Ha ha.
@Misogynistic MILFlover love the name,so classy!
Everyone should pitch in for Samurai Cop 2, that movie needs to be made.
Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance is in Pre-production right now!
Wasn't the fun of Samurai Cop 1 the fact that is was meant to be a proper film but became a hilarious mess? Either the sequel will be intentionally be bad to attempt to be funny (which almost always fails), or it'll be a straight, well-produced film (which is not the reason people like the original).
True But I still want to see what they do with 2
***** Oh, well that's fucking great. I hope the thing they understand with making this film is they should be as ambitious as they possibly can be while working with a small budget. That's the source of what makes a good-bad movie, they reach for the stars, take themselves seriously and fail hilariously.
I was wrong, but still love you Matt.
he seems like a genuinely nice guy
Matt Karedas is a cool, down-to-earth dude. Me and all Samurai Cop fans wish him the best.

@@sucklambschop3124 why feel bad for him? he got to be a lead in a movie. probably a fun experience most of us will never have.
@@1981bevo I mean from what Matt says, the experience wasn't all that great. It seems that quite early on it was a nightmare to shoot the movie. So I feel bad for him because the man wanted to hide himself because of this movie, which subsequently killed off any chance of becoming a superstar. We'll never know what would have been had he not played the lead role here, but this film was not a good advertisement for him.
This was a really fascinating interview to watch as an actor. Cool to learn he has a theater background and just went for it. He just seems like a genuine nice guy
His acting in American Revenge was more authentic.
Matt's knees could not be further apart.
His acting may look terrible , but he seems a nice guy
Top tier acting. Oscar Worthy.
The part I like the most about his acting was his dead eyes and how bothered he looks on delivering the lines. Amazing knowing how everything came out to be like that.
His eyes look like they are trying to escape his skull.

Matt reminds me of Bruce Campbell in the sense that he admits things that a normal A-list actor wouldn't admit. Matt admitting that horrible ad-lib was like Campbell admitting his horrible ad-lib in the original Evil Dead. An A-list actor might try to sweep it under the rug. B-movie actors seem to be a lot more relaxed when talking about their films...of course I've only heard from two...
I fucking fell in love with Matt Hannon 5 seconds into this interview. “Star of Samurai Cop” and he just looks around like yeah, that’s it.
