🎃SPOOKY SEASON🎃 rolls on at GOIN' COMMANDO HQ as Bryne and James dive into the 1988 B-movie action horror flick MANIAC COP starring Tom Atkins (the King), Bruce Campbell (the other King), and Robert Z'Dar as the titular character, a zombie-esque being who is either back from the dead to seek vengeance on City Hall for jailing him, who never died at all and is now just severely brain damaged (leading to some clunky-looking kills), or from outer space. It's never really explained how Matt Cordell is impervious to bullets, yet was killed in prison by knives, maybe in the sequels they reveal more backstory? We dive into that, plus we discuss this movie's similarities to others of its era, Bruce Campbell's turn as a cheating husband turned hero (???), Atkins' best fake smile, the slow motion grunts of Cordell's "death" scene, and a lot more.
