I just seen Maniac Cop on TV! I wanted more info about so did a quick little search and found you guys. It was all cut up on TV and was wondering how good a horror movie it was, well I just purchased them all and am stoked about watching them on DVD. Fine podcast you have and I just subscribed to your feed.

Isn’t this amazing I am 43 and never heard of this trilogy. I admit I am rather a little newer to the horror scene, maybe 10+ years now. Many stars and a great killer, can’t go wrong, and I can’t wait to see all of these back to back to back!

You make some very good points with this horror franchise. Im very intrigued with Maniac Cop and I myself do alot of research as well. Either way it was a well thoughtout podcast with great music and sound clips, so I figured I would leave you a comment.

Maniac Cop is a great trilogy. I really liked this episode with all the added audio, it brought back memories from the 80′s. A+

Wow, it was like more than a decade ago that I’ve ever watch the Maniac Cop (I can’t even remember whether it’s the original, the sequel or the 3rd part lol)

Seeing the maniac cop as a kid was very scary..weird…I dont get scared anymore

I also didn’t know there were 2 sequels. I remember watching the first part when I was little – I was afraid of cops for the next 3 years lol.

The funny thing is that we (my family) have a friend family with father and son who are policemen – I remember always screaming and hiding behind my mother when I saw them in the police uniform hahaha.

I should probably watch these sequels, I’m curious to see if my child fears and nightmares might surface again .

I agree with Horror Gal that this film wasn’t particularly memorable. Remember, that in 1988, when the first Maniac Cop movie was released, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” was still on television. Special effects weren’t all that sophisticated yet, but the bar was still set pretty high for the horror/thriller genre.

I think that some of the trivia surrounding this movie is more interesting than the movie itself. Does anyone remember that director William Lustig was the nephew of famous boxer Jake LaMotta? Or how about Laurene Landon, the actress that Horror Gal loves to hate. She wanted to BE a cop before she turned to acting instead. She actually enrolled in Cal-State’s Police Academy at one point. This is funny to me for some reason.

I agree with Horror Guy that this series of films are all revenge movies. They aren’t great revenge movies though. If you want to see a great “revenge” horror flick, go see “Carrie” instead.

I had no idea there was a 2 & 3 of Maniac Cop. I remember that film being really good and engaging. Next time I’m at the store going to see if they have part 2, sounds scary. Funny coincidence I just see Zdar in a movie called Body Shop, he was good but the movie lacked substance.
