Why is Frankenhooker in the banner pic for Maniac Cop? Is there a crossover I don't know about or just wishful thinking

Probably fun once upon a time, but doesn't hold up in modern times. That's okay though. That detective should really have brushed up on his aim, he tried to shoot the "Maniac Cop" 4 times from a few feet away and missed every single shot 😆

Maniac Cop is a cult hit and I just can;t see why? I enjoy it, I like Robert Z'Dar's look, I always like Bruce and it has Tom Atkins. But the I was expecting better or at least more original kills? But we didn't get those! We did get a very fun film! It is enjoyable, has a decent ending and the badass Maniac cop played by Rober Z'Dar. And it has that 80's feel to it. Which I like. Anyway, I'm off to see Halloween on the big screen! (The original!!!!)

A fun and inventive action filled slasher which offers a good time both as a slasher film and as a compelling mystery thriller. I'm quite surprised that this isn’t like extremely goofy or over the top, instead it’s a pretty clever reinvention of the slasher formula with attempts at social commentary on police brutality and corruption which remain relevant to this day. This one is definitely a less horror and more action-oriented, but it pulls it off nicely. Though it's not overtly gory and perhaps could have used more variety on the kills, it mostly succeeds at being a good mystery. There's some good atmosphere, the grimy vibe of the film that perfectly fits the material it works with. Also, Bruce Campbell is always fun to watch.
