Psycho Cop Returns (1993)

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

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Psycho Cop Returns (1993) ** (out of 4) Some guys decide to have a bachelor party at their office after hours. The strippers show up. The liquor is flowing. Everyone is having a blast but they don't realize that Officer Joe Vickers (Bobby Ray Shafer) doesn't like people who break the law.PSYCHO COP was an extremely low-budget attempt at a slasher movie. This sequel certainly looks a lot more professional and it features a lot more nudity and some bloodier death scenes but on the whole there's really nothing overly special about it. PSYCHO COP RETURNS is a fairly silly little picture that is mildly entertaining thanks to the R-rated stuff but there's no question that neither film is all that good.With that said, this sequel was certainly a bit better than the original because of the extra money that allowed for better special effects. The film has some pretty bloody moments throughout but the highlight are a couple gunshot wounds that allow a lot of blood to go flying. Some of the death scenes were rather lazy but for the most part they helped keep the film moving. The non-stop nudity from the strippers (one played by Julie Strain) was a plus.PSYCHO COP RETURNS isn't the worst movie ever made but at the same time it's certainly not all that good. Once again it's Shafer who steals the film as the nutty cop.

I watched this immediately after the original Psycho Cop and, wow, what a difference a little self-awareness makes! The original incompetently plodded through horrible writing, acting (with the exception of Shafer)and pretty much anything else you could screw up in a movie. For the sequel, they watched the original, expanded on the strengths and actively ridiculed the weaknesses. I almost hate to call Shafer's performance "brilliant" but there it is. Another actor would play the role just for laughs, but Shafer, after delivering a punchline, keeps the character's cheerful psychotic complexity. Did I really write that? This is just a fun, fun film that does a great job treading the line between the "THIS IS A COMEDY HORROR MOVIE ABOUT BAD COMEDY HORROR MOVIES" and just an enjoyable slasher film.

I knew this was going to be a treat about thirty seconds in, right after Officer Joe Vickers had uttered his first of many one-liners. His evil smirk, his bizarre speech patterns, his somewhat robotic movements, the puzzle fit. "More! More!", I yelled. And boy was I in for a life-changing experience. This is one of those movies that makes so many other ones look obsolete, especially the ones that don't have terrible puns about killing people in them. Keep an eye out for me, I'm beginning to suspect foreplay, I should let you of with a warning, our psycho cop is having an incredibly creative evening. He sure has improved his sense of humour since the somewhat dreadful first one. Most of the screenplay is incredibly silly, but you can also tell people put thought into it. The way it keeps the central characters from knowing everyone around them is dying can actually be called clever. The ending is also pretty creative for a slasher movie. This one tries to be several genres at once, but I'd categorise it under "pure awesome".

Psycho Cop Returns (1993) is a movie that entertained me, very low budget and very poor acting, but i found it to be pretty fun!!!! Bobby Ray Shaffer once again plays the "psycho cop" officer Vickers, who gatecrashes an office party, the party is filled with dorky young men and strippers!! Psycho Cop wants to kill them all off one by one and stalks and slashes his way through the party, but can anyone stop him before everyone is dead?? Shaffer is great fun as the "Psycho Cop" and comes out with loads of funny one liners during his killing spree!! Like i said before, this was all good fun and kept me entertained for the 85 minute duration, there's some gore, some hot sex and plenty of sexy women on show, i haven't seen the 1st Psycho cop movie but i've heard it's not as fun or gory as this one!! I rate this movie 7/10, recommended for fans of the Maniac cop series!!
