Review of Maniac Cop 2

Maniac Cop 2 (1990)
3/10
Poor Sequel
14 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie takes up directly after the first movie, forgetting that St. Patrick's Day and Christmas are not next to each other. Bruce Campbell and the female lead from the last movie somehow survive the last movie, only to be killed in the beginning of this one, totally taking away any value of the happy ending of the last one.

So for some reason, Robert Z'Dar's Discount Jason in a Cop's Uniform (Hasn't aged well in the BLM era) is still out killing people. The problem is, we never get an idea of why he's killing people. He's supposedly killing for revenge for his wrongful conviction, but he's killing random people and random police officers. For reason.

This movie does have Babylon 5's Claudia Christian and Robert Davi as a police officer investigating the killer cop. Discount Jason teams up with a serial killer, before they team up to stage an attack on the prison where the Maniac Cop was originally murdered.

Davi stops him by getting the people who framed him to confess, and DIscount Jason gets a funeral with honors despite all the people he killed in the last two movies.
