Dive into the Depths of Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell: Quick Facts:

Image
  Released in 1992 Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell  isn't just a movie title, it's a promise – a promise of campy, B-movie delight delivered with a wink and a chainsaw.   Story Unleashed:     ◦    Imagine Alexander Hell, a brooding, leather-clad mercenary, emerging from a dimensional abyss on his Harley to take on samurai vampires terrorizing Hollywood?

  Though I developed and began practicing Zen Filmmaking in 1991, it was still early in my career and I did still toy with the writing of screenplays; of which I wrote several prior to this point in time. Though Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell was a Zen Film, there were a few scenes put to writing. Some were filmed, some were not. Below are those scenes. Please excuse the formatting as the web messes with the script structure a bit.  Enjoy...
