You got the wrong guy! The mighty Bruce Campbell is stuck in a lame duck B-movie.
This movie is under arrest for boring the crap out of me. Yes, this film is basically as stale as that joke. Maniac Cop isn't a bad premise: someone in New York is on a killing spree dressed in police uniform -- is it an angry, rogue cop? But it ambles along at a codger's pace. It was written by Larry Cohen, who also wrote Black Caesar, and it features Richard Roundtree (Shaft) as a police commissioner. Hey, this film is blaxploitation offspring! Weirdest shower fight scene until Eastern Promises and keystone cops that say "ewwwwww" at the sight of a dead body. I can't believe they made this in 1988!
