Maniac Cop 2 (1990)
5/10
Passable second sequel with the giant killer cop carrying out an extreme criminal spree
27 September 2018
A really violent terror action movie about an undead NY police officer proceeding a killing spree . Acceptable followup set in New York about the huge supernatural police man , Matt Cordell, Robert ZDar, who joins forces with another murderer , Leo Rossi, executing various grisly killings. As they go on murdering innocent people on the streets of New York City . At the same time, Cordell executes a relentless vendetta against the nasty criminals who attacked him in prison.There's a monster-like on the loose on the streets of NY and a Police Inspector, Robert Davi, and the police psychiatrist , Claudia Christian , set out in chasing him at whatever cost .

This B movie contains shocks , violence , horror , chills , high body-count and a lot of blood and guts . This is a grim, gory, and disturbing slasher sleace thriller with action-packed, entertainment and amusement .Although may be a little bit cheesy , the movie is full of action , including car chases, pursuits and car leaps. Highlights of the movie are the creepy and eerie appearances by the terrible police officer who pulls off astonishing murders , including slashing and bloody shots in cold blood . Stars Robert ZDar who played the Maniac cop actually worked as a cop . Here Laurene Landon and Bruce Campbell have secondary intervention , in fact Bruce admitted that he only played the movie because he needed money as well as work , and that the picture was not any good .The original film was directed by William Lusting with Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon , Tom Atkins. This second one was as worthy successor to the superior original and it also has a fine cast as Robert Davi, Leo Rossi , Claudia Christian , Charles Napier ,Michael Lerner , Paula Trickey, Clarence Williams III, among others. And Maniac cop 3 Badge of silence , this third one was a regrettably average entry in the series and also directed by William Lusting with Robert Davi , Paul Gleason, Doug Savant , Robert Foster, Julius Harris. And in production Maniac cop 2018 written by Larry Cohen . I recommended the movie Bruce Campbell fans and people who enjoy low budget pictures .

The motion picture written by Larry Cohen was professionally directed by William Lusting, the film is dedicated to the memory of Joe Spinell , Lusting's friend. This was the first of various cinematic collaborations with fellow maverick independient director Larry Cohen . Lusting is a craftsman who has written , produced and directed violent thrillers as Hit list, Vigilante , Relentless, Maniac cop series and his greatest success Maniac with Joe Spinell . Rating 5.5 out of 10. Acceptable and passable . The flick will appeal to action fans and thriller enthusiasts.
