Leave your thoughts about Maniac Cop.
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA sturdy slasher flick that laces its splattery slayings with some anti-establishment undertones. |
| Den of GeekPaul MartinovicSo the original Maniac Cop is what it is, and what it is is a film about a cop who murders people. And you know what? Sometimes, that's enough. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayManiac Cop is heavier on the goofery than the relevance. |
| EmpireKim NewmanA no-holds-barred assault on hollywood cop sensibilities that could have benefited from more comic diversions. |
| CineVueLee CassanellManiac Cop deserves to be re-evaluated as a quintessential 80s B-movie – low on brains but high on charm – and lucky viewers should keep an eye out for cameos from The Evil Dead (1981) director Sam Raimi and the Raging Bull himself, Mr. Jake LaMotta. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonManiac Cop is the type of movie that you would want to watch through the slits in a sewer grate, only its execution sits perched well above its scummy aim, and the end result is that you feel guilty for wishing for something more perverted. |
| TV GuideStaffThis is a one-idea concept enlivened ever so slightly by fleeting moments of Cohen's patented sociopolitical subtext and goofy black humor. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesThe acting is stiff, the dialogue is stiffer and the action scenes are laborious. Even the presence of professionals like Sheree North and Richard Roundtree, in small roles, tend to diminish them rather than improve the film. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonThe script is at once so undernourished and so obvious that you'll be convinced Cohen produced it via telegram: START MANIAC COP KILLS CIVILIANS STOP CLEANCUT GETS BLAME STOP WORLD-WEARY DETECTIVE FIGURES IT OUT STOP BODIES FALL STOP. |
| Los Angeles TimesChris WillmanIt also begs for an anarchic-camp approach, or else a deeper exploitation of the very real fears the common citizenry have of men in blue in so many urban climes nowadays. |
