William Lustig's Maniac Cop, and its subsequent sequels, are still not-so-guilty pleasures of mine. I enjoyed them when they were first released and I still get a kick out of them now. So this is definitely good news for fans of the first movie as it hits Blu-ray on Oct 3rd from Arrow.
Maniac Cop (Arrow Video)
Police brutality never felt so good
Notorious video nasty creator William Lustig and B-Movie legend Larry Cohen return to the dirty streets for a unique high speed collision of the slasher movie and police thriller in Maniac Cop, a blood splattered tale of brutal cop vengeance from beyond the grave.
When reports come in of a man in a police uniform committing gore drenched bloody murder on the city streets, officer Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell) stands accused. Now, with few friends, powerful enemies and a psychopathic slayer still at large, it's up to Jack to prove he's not guilty and bring down the killer.
Now, Arrow Video brings the Maniac Cop back from the 80s video vault to stalk the night time streets once more, looking for fresh victims…

The arrow video releases to date have all been fairly impressive. I can imagine this will be the same. Plus you can't go wrong with maniac cop, it's a pretty good film!
I've read a few of your reviewsand will definately be looking out for some of them, and have placed a link to your page onto mine! I have a blog myself, perhaps you could tell me what you think?
Michael :)
