Maniac Cop 2 4K 1990

'I'm running to watch the sequels' - I wrote in a review for the first part. I ran for a whole year, and now I got to the second part. However, I am delighted. Probably, I even did the right thing that I did not watch the second film for so long - the emotions from what I saw were only brighter. Many people say that the second part is better than the first - quite possibly, you just need to know what to compare - if the first film played on the side of the good old slashers, then in the second episode the even more disfigured Matt Cordell became a specific action hero.

The budget has increased, the special effects have become prettier. There are boobs. There is even more blood - Cordell is tearing everyone to shreds, the scene of the massacre in the police station by the drive and the intensity is worthy of a place next to a similar moment from the first 'Terminator', except perhaps without 'I'll be back'.

There are a couple of high-level chases. In one of them, a woman is handcuffed to the steering wheel, and in another, bandits on a police bus make a rustle in the streets. Everything around whistles, burns and melts, just brilliant.

Another innovation I would like to mention is Robert Davie, who is written by his family to play gloomy cops with faces battered by life and with direct intentions. Of the veterans of the cycle, only Z'Dar can be noted, because here Cordell has turned into a walking meat grinder and smashes everyone into molecules, but Campbell, as I said, and his partner from the first film bent somehow faster than usual, so evaluate them there was simply no time here.

But the ending was smeared. Stupid and insulting. Not that some kind of abomination, just slightly under-thought and quite predictable. But nevertheless, at the level.

I don't know what words can be used to describe this movie in order to express all the emotions that come out. Lustig and Cohen didn't just jump over the first part, they just set a different bar. And the devils must have overcome. If you liked the first part, I seriously warn you: check out this tape.
