Wow! Such a good movie.

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Major Disappointment

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

If you thought the first Maniac Cop was something, this one is even more interesting, as we see a body (on fire) being thrown out a window, policeman being killed and thrown through glass & across the room, and a couple of chase sequences. Actually, one of them is not actually a chase, but more like a freak accident. And the "Maniac Cop" is also burned alive. Also, Cordell has an accomplice, a character who I found slightly annoying and unnecessary. But that is of course, not a distraction, just merely a minor flaw. Also, I don't think the commissioner story really pays off. At least not the way it should have.*** out of ****.

He's back again! Officer Matt Cordell(Robert D'Zar) is back on the streets again making a killing in law enforcement. Since the first "Maniac Cop" some of the city's finest were actually corrupt. Those who confessed lost their badges or worse their lives. Oh well. This time, he teams with a serial killer, and they are a powerful team. Somewhere in the middle, Cordell gets rid of the killer, and goes after the ones who kill a policewoman. That kinds of put something new into the ring. Not only does he have to find his killers in prison, he has to find who killed the cop. To me, I don't think it would be any problem at all. Since he's unstoppable, it would take an army to bring him down, and the criminals aren't safe either. They fall like dominoes. Imagine, those who lose their lives in the line of duty get their just dues at a funeral, for Cordell, he just won't stay dead. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat, and the suspense is just right! 3 out of 5 stars!

I thought the Maniac Cop 3 was the best of the three but i'was wrong i watch all three movies but i' decide that sequel is beater then the first or the third movie.The story begging's when Matt Cordell returns with his killings and he bring his partner to take revenge on a cops and cell mates who killed him,lots off action,lots off stunts and better actors,then was in the first or third movie.I thought that in the third movie Matt brings his girlfriend Kate back to life and that they will kill together cops and the innocent people and that our hero Lt.Sean McKinney will stop them,but it was not like that,the story was boring and was too little action and the movie was too short.But the sequel is better than the first,he is the best movie of the Maniac Cop trilogy.

This exciting and action-packed sequel to the immensely enjoyable original has the unrelenting brutal badge-wearing wacko Matt Cordell (the hulking Robert Z'Dar) team up with scuzzy serial killer Turkell (delightfully played to the lip-smacking odious hilt by a bearded Leo Rossi) to wreak plenty of gory havoc in New York City. Out to halt the crazed fuzzball this time are rugged, cynical Detective Sean McKinney (a nicely hard-bitten Robert Davi) and feisty police psychologist Susan Riley (a winning turn by the gorgeous Claudia Christian). Capably directed with rip-roaring verve by William Lustig, with a sardonically witty script by Larry Cohen, plenty of show-stopping stunts (a wild police station shoot out and a breathtaking lengthy fire gag towards the end qualify as definite thrilling highlights), and a hilarious ending credits rap theme song, "Maniac Cop 2" sizes up as a solid and satisfying sequel to the excellent original. Appearing in nice supporting parts are the always affable Bruce Campbell as doomed cop Jack Forrest, Laurene Landon as Jack's equally ill-fated girlfriend Teresa Malloy, Michael Lerner as a shady politician, Paula Trickey as a sexy stripper who narrowly avoids being offed by Turkell, Robert Earl Jones as a blind newstand vendor, Clarence Williams III and Danny Trejo as prison inmates, Charles Napier as a tabloid TV show host, and ubiquitous Cohen film regular James Dixon (Lt. Perkins in the "It's Alive" pictures) in his umpteenth police officer role.
