#NowWatching "Maniac Cop" (1988) by William Lustig
I am not sure what to think about this.
On the one hand it has Tom Atkins, Bruce Campbell and many ingredients for an entertaining B-movie. But on the other hand it just doesn´t feel right for me.
Do you have any opinions?
I love Larry Cohen, he is the kind of scriptwriter I want to be. Well, sort of. But every film I make I have this imaginary target group and that is me and my friends in our teens, going to the video store and picking movies by their cover. "This looks cool! It got 'splosions, a hero in sunglasses and hot girls!" That would be the reason we rented a movie. Not because they have a good "father-son conflict" or something to say about the world. But if the movie was JUST "'splosions, a hero in sunglasses and hot girls"
