Maniac Cop 2 is the entertaining follow up to the 1988 B-Movie Classic, Maniac Cop. Maniac Cop 2 takes place nine months after the original movie saw the infamous Officer Matt Cordell drown in the East River. After the original movie's heros' Officers Forrest and Mallory are killed violently, Detective Sean Mckinney (Robert Davi) begins the search for their killer. Mckinney is also battling another series of killings in the city, while also battling his own demons. Matt Cordell (played once again by Robert D'Zar) keeps the body count lower in his second film, but a higher budget and better made film makes the movie just as entrtaining as the first. The movie makers go back to the first in some sense by having another longer and more grusome police station massacre and a police chase scene leads up to the climax scene. Matt Cordell returns to Sing-Sing Prison to confront the men who killed him. The sequel provides the answer to questions left in the first film, such as is Cordell still human or in sense an living dead killer. Maniac Cop 2 will not leave any of this series fans upset.

Matt Cordell rises from his watery grave and seeks revenge on those who killed him in the previous entry. He also causes trouble by killing cops and helping the criminals. And when he teams up with a homicidal serial killer, it's up to though cop Sean Mc Kinney and his partner Susan Riley to stop this murderous duo before it's to late.

A very entertaining and well acted movie. Better than you'd expect and well directed by William Lustig (Maniac, Uncle Sam)One of the film most memorable scenes is where Matt Cordell causes a massacre at a police station.
The Maniac Cop movies are very underated slashers in my opninion. So, if you like other slasher movie series such as Friday The 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play and Halloween, you should add Maniac Cop 1-3 to your collection as well.

Maniac Cop 2 is the best in the whole trilogy! It has some really awesome action scenes and some funny one-liners from the murderer that Matt Cordell becomes friends with. The car chase mid-way through the movie was awesome and well thought out. Robert Z'dar gives an awesome and well played performance in his second go 'round as the Maniac Cop. If you're into action movies with a little bit of horror, then be sure to give this one a look!

Amazon does not have this movie listed as being available on DVD, but here in Australia it is! (Regioun 4)

I had seen this years ago, but it was a rental on VHS that was overly worn out and the picture & sound was so bad I turned it off halfway through.

When I saw this DVD in the really cheap bin ($3, hows that for cheap?) I thought i'd give it a go, it would only be pocket change i'd lose anyway.

Review:
I expected this to be a bad b-grade horror flick, but I really got into it straight away. It's about a cop named Matt Cordell who was a cop with the NYPD who was setup for something by the head cheif of police or something, and i'm not actualy too sure if he is supposed to be dead, or just scarred or what, but he seems to be a Jason Voorhees style zombie who can't be killed.

Matt Cordell is terrorising the city by killing cops. I guess it's his way of revenge against them or something. Along the way he meets a seriol killer who keeps murdering strippers and they become a forgetable duo.

Comments: A lot of the events taking place where a bit confusing, I guess I will have to see the original Maniac Cop to fully understand what the flash backs are about and in what order, but neither MC1 or MC3 are available here yet.

This is a sequel, and i'm already taking an interest in this saga. It's not brilliant, not exactly original, and the ending of Cordells (supposed) demise I thought was a bit too quick and should have been drawn out with a tighter and bigger ending, but overall, I like it.

If your into Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Myers or those type of charactors, then I recomend this film if you havent already seen it, just give it a go and see what you reckon. If your into thriller with a twist and creative plot, then this will not be your thing.

Bonus Features: None. Tho it does have the trailer to MC2, MC3 and Strange Bedfellows, but I do not consider trailers a bonus feature, they should just be standard on every DVD.

Me Cop II rocks and I cant wait to see the first and 3rd one now!

A great thriller with lots of action, poor matt cordell, his own cops did him wrong, this is a must see movie, it should be on dvd, may be soon it will be.

The Cop (Robert D`Zar) was left for dead and missing from the river is back for more. This time, he has find the people has wrong him and having his revenge people has thought has killed him.

This horror/thriller is well made & better acted than the first film. Directed by William Lustig (Maniac, Relentless, Vigiilante) and Written by Larry Cohen (Guilty as Sin, Phone Booth, Q:The Winged Serpent) from the Original flick. Grade:B+.

Zombie cop is on the loose again. Yes, this sequel's "bigger" but man it's boring and silly. Some action, but hardly enough.
