Psycho Cop Returns

Eeeeh!!!!! "Psycho Cop Returns" is just a weird, but funny, movie! From looking at that video cover, I thought to myself, "Is this 'Robocop' or 'Psycho Cop'?" Well, this movie might not be as great as "Robocop" really is, but if you want a similar movie with all the laughs and good times, the "Psycho Cop" series is the choice! Especially this version; it's just absurd and weird! It definitely ranks up there with all of those other "So Bad, It's Awesome" kinds of movies! Hey, I'm not kidding when I talk this and many other movies in this category! "Psycho Cop Returns" is a ten star movie in my book, and this is the best of the series.

Okay, for those who believe this movie is cheap, I totally agree. But, this is one of those films where the filmmakers are not taking themselves or their script seriously, on purpose! Psycho Cop and Psycho Cop 2 are excellent movies under the influence of alcohol, especially when things have calmed down. I love this movie b\c it is so easy to make fun of, thanks to the cheesy editing and God-awful, but hilarious one-liners. Officer Joe Vickers is simply a great villain, not for his intimidation or acting prowess, but b\c he looks like an insane asylum escapee. Gotta love when he reads the dead guy his right b\c, "even though it's extremely strange b\c [he's] dead!" I recommend this movie to those out there who can lighten up and enjoy a movie for pure enjoyment and not it's big budget or list of high rate actors. 6/10.

In this fine film Bobby Ray Shafer gives a gripping performance as Officer Joe Vickers. Officer Vickers over hears plans of an office party where he might find a lot of illegal activity. I found Officer Vickers to be a devoted Police Officer/Satanist, a man who loves his work, and very entertaining. The other characters, however, are so dumb and annoying that they should probably be removed from the gene pool anyway. You can't say he doesn't follow procedure, after all who could forget him reading that guy his rights. Why Oscar passed this one over is beyond me.

Psycho Cop Returns is a ridiculously hysterical, spectacularly bad, and above all thoroughly bad movie. It would seem that a group of people with nothing better to do hired a thirteen year old to write a script, then broke into an office building and filmed the entire movie in sequence in one night. Yet, let me be the first to say that the end result is nothing short of a miracle. The last twenty minutes are a tour de force, and throughout the movie the script increasingly becomes more and more ridiculous and funny. I was laughing so hard I couldn't believe it. Rent this movie if you are ready for the time of your life!

This movie is hilarious. It doesn't try to be a serious horror movie, because the makers knew it was a sucky film and so they added one-liners and jokes. Brilliant! I loved all the death scenes.

Psycho Cop 2 is one of the best movies I've ever seen. No joke! I have never seen a better bad guy than Officer Joe Vickers. I haven't seen the first one yet but after seeing this one I'm dying to watch it. Like I said, BRING ON PSYCHO COP 3!!!!!!

What really elavates Pyscho Cop Returns (aka Psycho Cop 2) is the talent of Adam Rifkin (going under his Rif Coogan alias here) Rifkin completely acts like the first movie never existed which is good considering how bad the original really is, he gives you stuff you want in a movie like this good gore, *, sex, and an overall better performance from our killer Bobby Ray Shafer, all things that were missing in the first film. Shafer himself is really good here and it's nice to see his acting and one liners have improved drastically this time around. Penthouse pet and b movie goddess Julie Strain is also along for the ride. It's also nice to see Vingar Syndrome give this thing a great blu ray release, with better picture quality and of course the full uncut version of the film which for years was only available on a super rare VHS tape. Overall, Psycho Cop Returns still isn't as good as its Maniac Cop counterpart, but it's still a fun enjoyable ride in it's own right.
