Third Time's Not Always A Charm
The Cohen/Lustig team return for Maniac Cop 3, but the results aren't so hot.
Matt Cordell has been resurrected by witchdoctor/shaman/homeless guy, Julius Harris. I'm not really sure why. Harris babbles some junk about Cordell being a "restless soul", but doesn't really explain why he brought him back to life. Maybe it was a slow day and he didn't have much else to do. Detective McKinney(Robert Davi) is also back and he's so cool he doesn't even bother to wear ear protection at the shooting range. When McKinney's friend and fellow officer, Katie(Gretchen Becker) is seriously wounded in a drugstore shootout, she's rushed to the hospital where McKinney looks after her. Then Cordell springs into action! He goes to the hospital, killing everyone in his way, to get to the dying woman(sounds a lot like Halloween 2, doesn't it?). Why? I'm not too sure. He wants to marry her or sees her as some kind of soulmate or some ridiculous nonsense. You know a horror series is getting a bit long in the tooth when plots like this start popping up. When a story that involved a killer zombie-like cop with a grudge against the police department starts delving into spiritual hocus pocus and romance, it's about time to hang it up I'd say. So in the end, McKinney must once again square off with Cordell to save his friend's soul.
This sequel wasn't terribly impressive. It had it's moments and was just entertaining enough to keep you watching, but when compared to the two previous films, it's a big letdown. There's just too much lollygagging and it never seems as though anything's really going on. The kills aren't very impressive, and even the great Robert Z'Dar is terribly underused. Plus the climax is a bit too drawn out. You get the feeling that the film was made just for the sake of making it considering the limp noodle plot. But even with it's shortcomings, Maniac Cop 3 isn't all that bad especially when you consider the state of straight to DVD horror titles these days.

Great entertainment!
Matt Cordell, once a respected officer of the law, but now a rage-driven zombie, forced to live an excistence as neither living or dead.
This time he's out to get the persons responsible for a accident that put a female cop in coma.
The movie is very entertaining, perhaps even better than part 2(wich I also liked very mutch) It has good and talented actors, not teenage amateurs like in most other slasher films. The effects are also great, especially a burning car chase that must've been very complicated and unpleasant for the stuntman.
So if you liked part 2(Like I did) then go and get this one as well.

The official Maniac Cop 3 DVD release!
Love it or hate it 'Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence' is here on DVD. The last DVD release was by a company named platinum back in 1999 I believe.
Well this new DVD release has out done the last one, the picture quality is much more clearer and sharper than before and this is also in widescreen and with a trailer!
This is the first official DVD by the original company that released this film back in 1993 so the quality is very good but the front cover artwork is horrible-what were they smoking?
Also William Lustig has been placed back into the credits as the only director (there used to be 2 directors now this states only 1 in both the film credits and the box art).
If you liked the first two Maniac Cop films give this one a try!
