MANIAC COP was an excellent cult classic, rough raw and a brilliant peice of exploitation cinema from the great LUSTIC/COHEN team. now they return with the sequel the imaginatively titled - wait for it - MANIAC COP 2! is CORDELL alive or is he a zombie? this time he's teamed up with a second serial killer which doesn't exactly make a great deal of sense seeings that CORDELL kills the innocent and guilty alike. the prison break scene feels like a terminator rip off, but throughout, the film still has the original's black humour and sleazy feel that COEN writes so well and the storyline feels a tad like his other film Q the winged serpent-unstoppable beast teams with criminal. YET- the film with all its faults as a rehashed sequel still has the original filmmakers back and feels like the original. BUT- YOU SHOULDN'T KILL BRUCE CAMPBELL!!! especially when he gives such a restrained performance!!!Read full review
This is an enjoyable sequel to the original. A lot of the cast return, if only for cameos. William Lustig also returns to direct. The plot is similar to the first film only this time the Maniac Cop teams up with a serial killer, they're sort of kindred spirits if you will. If you liked the original you should like this, and in some ways this isn't just a retread sequel, they're are some unpredictable moments that you wouldn't think that would happen.
