Maniac Cop
Director: William Lustig
Year Released: 1988
Rating: 1.5
Sometimes titles aren't deceiving. An overgrown monstrosity dressed in a police uniform kills the weak and defenseless in New York City - instead of that old 'serving' and 'protecting' business - in this B-slasher. It's pretty straightforward for the generally subversive Cohen and not exactly his best work (Phone Booth still impresses me to this day) but isn't without its tasty trash elements - Bruce Campbell is one of the leads, Tom Atkins plays another hard-boiled police officer and the over-acting allows for plenty of chuckles ("He knows! He knows!").
