He's A Maniac! He's A Cop! He's A...

.

How had Maniac Cop eluded me for so long? It has everything a growing boy needs for sustenance in a cold, cruel world - Larry Cohen produces! A film by the director of Maniac! Called Maniac Cop! Starring Tom motherfucking Atkins! And Bruce motherfucking Campbell! And not just any Bruce Campbell, but 1988 Bruce Campbell, who looks like this:


Saying that Bruce Campbell is a perfect man is such a straight fan-boy argument to make - it's what those Old Spice commercials were all about - but I can't fight the notion myself. He's the coolest motherfucker in the room. Any room! At the Coolness Olympics, with Coolness Dignitaries from every country on display, Bruce would walk in and take a piss on their cold meat platter.


Anyway I loved this movie.
Here are a couple more brief reasons why.


Hookers with crimped hair!


Hookers with crimped hair
handcuffed to dead police officers being chased by a killer!


Tom motherfucking Atkins!

Shaft!


Extended chats at urinals! A Sam Raimi cameo!


Strangely erotic prison shower fights...


.... I love the way they just threw up an enormous black shadow
at the bottom of the screen to cover up some of the nudity.


Can you imagine this face blown up movie screen size?
Talk about scary.


Jinkies. Spoke too soon!

Mad Ball Cop. You meant 1988. If it was 1998 then the past 12 years have been exceptionally hard on Mr. Campbell

I always thought 1980s Bruce Campbell had the looks for Femdom porn, with his dashing facial features, leanly athletic build, and crazy eyes that shout "Yes Mistress!".
