The bois went to Zombiefest VI at The Mahoning Drive-In and offer their thoughts on Shivers, Frankenhooker, Sugar Hill, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator, and the first 2 Maniac Cop films! A load of talent behind this film (William Listig, Larry Cohen, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Tom Adkins), sadly the story doesn’t have a whole lot going on. I haven't seen the third film but it appears to me that Maniac Cop 2 is acting as a bridge between a monstrous killer cop to a good guy and I find the inconsistency rather disgusting. I was surprised partway through to find out this was released in 1988 and not closer to 1983. The film was released on May 13, 1988, and grossed $671,382 from a budget of $1,100,000.

Pulling double duty as an action flick and as a slasher, the pacing never really has a chance to drag, and some of the setups -- like being chased by an unflinching murderer when handcuffed to a bloated corpse -- are really inspired.

I dig the atmosphere...the sets and cinematography really cradle the urban grit of New York City like a good Larry Cohen production will do. I still struggle on what kind of story was going on here since they’re kinda rehashing what happened previously. All witnesses agree that the murderer was in a cop’s uniform. You know I'm serious when I say "awesome" three times. More details at The commentary on police violence is great but I also love that this is a film with occasional humor and fun horror. This review may contain spoilers. Community See All. While the world struggled with the Coronavirus threat, many of us found ourselves stuck on the couch and consuming whatever content (and food) we can get our hands on. I can’t decide if I like this or the first one better, but damn that scene with Claudia Christian handcuffed and hanging out of a car while it flies down the highway is some truly inspired, top shelf stuff and I was sweating! Maniac Cop has many a surprise stocked under its belt, not least the stunningly economical car chases, panoramic aerial photography and bitingly prescient themes of police brutality. Directed by William Lustig. It’s still pretty solid but the shadow of the first movie looms large. "I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards!" These are the films that I saw in September 2008. Oh I forgot to mention this in my Maniac Cop review but the stunts on these films are fucking gorgeous and hate to see they don’t get that much recognition.

Unless I have been catatonic for the past 14 years I don’t recall there being a remake. Made by fans in Auckland, New Zealand. Here’s hoping we get a remake with an “Executive Produced By Jordan Peele” credit and overflowing in social commentary in the next few years. Throw in a few dope stunts and that's enough to satisfy. Did we really need to see the prison flashback again? It felt already dated. There a ton of movies like this, and if you're just watching digital movies it just mixes in the reviews for that together with Blu Ray and DVD so reviews are all over the place.

Like I'm still not very into all of the blabbering we get from Claudia Christian's police psychiatrist and Robert Davi's fedora-wearing detective, but by about halfway into this movie, that lets up in favor of just a nice steady stream of dumb stuff happening. Even so, this is a nice antidote for bloodthirsty cop worship, even if a more powerful (and realistic) one would depict half the city and the entire police force standing up for Officer Cordell - after all, he's putting his life on the line night after night, protecting all the citizens of the city, even the ones who hate him most.
