Review of Maniac Cop (1988) by Simon B — 12 Jan 2008
When a cop, or someone in a cops' uniform, starts to kill innocent bystanders without motive, the public starts to lose faith in the force. After mysterious nights out and with seemingly no alibi, cop Jack (B-Movie legend Bruce Campbell) is arrested when his wife is found dead.
McCrae (who bares a spooky resemblance to Jameson from the Spider-Man movies) believes Jack is innocent and sets out to help him but basically it all comes down to Jack and the maniac cop going head-to-head after a decent body count.
The knife-to-mouth shower scene was pretty grosse, the maniac cop is a HUGE guy but no matter how mean they get, Bruce can still disarm them of a shotgun with a flying kick when he needs to! Decent movie for all Bruce fans and horror fans but I'm really surprised this hasn't been remade yet as it could easily be done.
