    Maniac Cop 1 and 2 were fantastic. The third one was so-so. I really think the first two were underrated gems. The acting from Tom Atkins in the first movie was top-notch. He played a really believable and compelling character. Also, love Bruce Campbell!
    The films were great on so many levels. Such a simple premise, but done in such a fantastic way.
    Personally, I would love to see a reboot of this franchise. I think the themes of the franchise are just as relevant now as they were in the 80's. Let's be honest, the police can be scary without having supernatural powers! I feel like a film like that today would tap into a fear a lot of us already have. It could also be used to call attention to/comment on the issues of modern policing. You could legitimately make a really scary film about a murderous cop with no supernatural elements whatsoever. Just make it about a psychopath that does the whole "he had a gun" routine to poor people in the inner city 🫤
    Great video! Really enjoyed it! And thanks for the chance to talk about one of my favorite horror movie franchises!
    You rule dude! 👊🤘

      Yes! It's too bad the remake didn't happen but I have a feeling it will come back around.

    Just like soldiers, cops don't wear parade dress (white gloves, etc.) while on duty.
    13:39 / 23:51 Bruce Campbell and Robert Davi are both left-handed.

    They really wimped out not making a new Maniac Cop, the whole George Floyd thing could've made the movie a HUGE hit if they did it right then.

      I think they will eventually get back to it.
