The "Maniac Cop" is back from the dead and stalking the streets of New York once more. Officer Matt Cordell was once a hero, but after being framed by corrupt superiors and brutally assaulted in prison, he sets out on a macabre mission of vengeance, teaming up with a vicious serial killer to track down those that wronged him and make them pay... with their lives!

Press Quotes

MANIAC COP 2 Is Quite Truly The Greatest '80s Horror-Action Movie Ever Made!

     —Alamo Drafthouse

MANIAC COP 2 Is A Thinking Man's Exploitation Film, Improving On The 1988 Original!

     —Variety

The Best Of The Series... An Amazing Film!

     —Moria: Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Re

An Ultra-Violent, Yet Equally Creative, Journey Into Hell!

     —New Retro Cinema

It is pretty obvious at this point that the titles the folks at Blue Underground are releasing on 4K Blu-ray will never ever have to be upgraded again because they feature astonishing technical presentations of impeccable restorations. This upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of MANIAC COP 2 is another stunner, so if you like the film give yourself an early holiday present. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

     —Blu-ray.com

Blue Underground has really been doing an excellent job with their HD and UHD titles and MANIAC COP 2 & 3 may well have raised the bar. Blue Underground never ceases to impress me with how nicely they handle their UHD films!

     —Video Attic

In the middle of the gore effects and the explosions, we also have a grand transfer that will please everyone who might be interested in upgrading to 4K, as this thing looks AMAZING.

     —Zombies Don't Run

Robert Z'Dar returns as the super cop, turned maniac cop; Matt Cordell in this surprisingly good sequel to the surprisingly good 1988 horror-thriller, Maniac Cop

     —Exclusive Magazine

The stunt work here, especially in MC2, outpaces what you'll find in movies that cost five times as much.

     —Horror Movie A Day

Maniac Cop 2 does everything that the first does but does it a little bit crazier and bigger than the first. The results are probably the best film in the series.

     —The Movie Isle

The transfers...are excellent.

     —Free Kittens Movie Guide

As storytelling, it's deranged, but the craft is first-rate, and the energy is relentless.

     —The Playlist

It's also amazing to see the likes of Michael Lerner (Barton Fink) and Charles Napier (The Silence of the Lambs) adding dramatic heft to such a gloriously bad movie.

     —On Magazine

Maniac Cop 2 (1990) is a fun, violent and kick-ass revenger with some fantastic action, brutal deaths and a finale that's engulfed in flames. This sucker is action-packed from start to finish and a shit-ton of fun, this is definitely a 90's horror entry that doesn't gets it's proper due!

     —MC Bastard's Mausoleum

Maniac Cop 2 is one of the few horror sequels that is superior in almost every way to the original and it is an absolute blast to watch.

     —The Film Junkies

The car-taxi chase, the handcuff outside of a car sequence and the impressively prolonged fire stunt work in the climax are nothing short of thrilling.

     —DVD Corner

MANIAC COP 2 & 3 have both been upgraded to 4K and for all intents and purposes look amazing.

     —Matthew Orozco, Macabre Daily

As a whole, the Maniac Cop series wrestles with questions of policing within a hybrid of slasher and noir.

     —Clayton Dillard, Slant Magazine

Another great release from Blue Underground, the 4K Ultra HD presentation of Maniac Cop 2 is excellent, as is the extras package.

     —Tim Salmons, The Digital Bits

The video and audio is great and the supplemental material is a great addition to this release. I highly recommend snagging this one especially if you have never seen this follow up to William Lustig's cult classic.

     —Blacktooth, Horror Society

Back on the Beat: The Making of Maniac Cop 2 (46:52) is an extensive behind-the-scenes retrospective, produced by Blue Underground, including new interviews with the people involved (director William Lustig, writer Larry Cohen, actors Robert Davi and Claudia Christian, et al) in the project. There aren't many new movies which get this kind of treatment...

     —Movie Man's Guide

If you enjoy the work of William Lustig, Maniac Cop 2 is likely one of your favorite titles from the filmmaker. This release from Blue Underground looks phenomenal, will entertain genre fans and provide plenty of background details about the movie that even enthusiasts may not have known about. This release is highly recommended to any genre fan!

     —Glenn Kay, Cinema Stance

This is a movie I love enough to recommend no matter how the rest of the package had turned out, but a breathtaking presentation and a strong slate of extras ensure that Maniac Cop 2is that much more of an essential purchase for anyone with a taste for unhinged action.

     —Adam Tyner, DVD Talk

Maniac Cop 2 gets a spectacular 4K UHD upgrade from Blue Underground, who continue to raise the bar when it comes to cult and foreign cinema on 4K UHD, highly recommended.

     —Michael Den Boer, 10K Bullets

This only rates so high because of the formidable stuntwork and exciting action sequences seen throughout the picture 

     —The Film Frenzy

here's a lot to like about this sequel with most of what worked plus an added body count.

     —Sebastian, Furious Cinema

In fact, the movie has several outstanding stunts, including perhaps the longest, albeit filmed in small bits, man-on-fire occurrence on film.

     —Vidvues/Tom's Picks, Village Soup

The 4K's HDR added range and impact to the tones.

     —Colin Jacobson, DVD Movie Guide

The 4K transfer looks great and better than I remember watching them on VHS.

     —Bobby Blakey, Hollywood Matrimony

You cannot do better than this film.

     —Geno McGahee, Scared Stiff Reviews

Maniac Cop 2 is that rare sequel that actually tops it's predecessor; the body count is higher, there's way more blood n' action, and it's hard to resist that 'Universal Monster movie by way of 42nd Street with a dash of gritty police procedural tossed in for grins' combo... this is the ghoulish good shit cats n' creeps!

     —DanXIII, Horror Fuel

These releases are well balanced in audio and visual with audio being the major standout here. 

     —Jake Parker, Modern Horrors

These releases are well balanced in audio and visual with audio being the major standout here. 

     —Jake Parker, Modern Horrors

Still, this is a horror sequel that does just about everything right by introducing interesting new characters alongside the few who return, significantly amping up the action, providing the Maniac Cop with a new look more in line with his iconic slasher contemporaries, and best of all: giving the titular antagonist his own rap theme song.

     —Anthony Arrigo, Dread Central
