Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence 4K 1992

The film is a direct sequel to the second part of the trilogy about the maniac policeman Matt Cordell. To be honest, it would not have been necessary to shoot this film, since it was somewhat unsettled by the 1 and 2 parts. Fortunately, William Lustig stopped in time and did not start filming the fourth film.

In the second film, Cordell was buried with honors in the cemetery. It would seem that everything, but he rises thanks to the spells and rituals of the shaman. In this film, he is no longer a disfigured cop, but some kind of zombie cop. The makeup reminded me of Jason from Friday the 13th, but now he's more disfigured. Cordell has become more invulnerable, neither fire nor bullets can be taken (yes, this part also did not do without fire)! In committing murders, he became more sophisticated.

Unlike the second part, which gravitated more towards an action movie, the atmosphere of this film is more drawn to a thriller. Although this whole film is a complete vinaigrette - they took an action movie, mixed it with a slasher, added a little detective and spiced up with mysticism. At the expense of mysticism, the creators should think about it, somehow it is inappropriate here. Larry Cohen gave free rein to fantasy, but in general it seems that he wrote the script in a hurry.

I was pleased with Robert Davi, here he was more revealed than in the second film. I also liked the final chase, it was filmed very smartly.

Unfortunately, the final part of the trilogy turned out to be weaker than the previous ones, but still quite worth watching.
