Maniac Cop
'80s NYC has a problem. There's a man
running around killing people dressed as a cop. He's just
indiscriminately killing anyone he wants. They could have gone with a
vigilante, but no. Just a psycho. In the past, he was a cop that got
sent to prison for being a bad cop. He was attacked in the shower and
had his face mutilated, and 'dies'. But we all know he really
didn't, so we're treated to the rest of the film being his murder
rampage. Originally he was only to kill bad guys, but changed his
mind about that and just kills everyone while framing another
cop...whom he then tries to kill as well. His preference is to stab
people with what is clearly NOT a police issue weapon. I found it
strange that he didn't use a gun and was seemingly bullet proof. And
in the end, we find out he's also drown proof.
That's really all there is too it. I
tried stretching that out as far as I could, but it's a pretty basic
'80s slash 'em up starring Tom Atkins, Bruce Campbell, and the late
Robert Z'Dar's chin. Not great, not bad...kind of a 'nothing' movie. I'll admit I've wanted to see this for a long time, but not enough to make time for it. I did this year, and....I may skip the 2 sequels.
Monday: It's a nice place in the country...
