Maniac Cop Blu-ray Review

It's just been announced on Cult Labs that Arrow will be releasing this on blu - date and extras tbc.

[manicsounds]

Very awesome. Wonder about the sequels too.

[Sky_Captain]

The last R1 DVD release was very good.

Don't screw this one up, Arrow.

[GeeSuz Rage]

Day 1! Hope they also will finally release part 2 in a watchable version!

Still got Synapse's 2006 DVD, Never got around to watching it.

Will probably replace it with the BD if it's a decent release.

Not seen it since the VHS release

Was there any significant difference to the Elite DVD? I mainly kept that one for the japanese TV scenes.

some info on the release




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...

Specifications preview!
- Includes collector’s booklet by Troy Howarth, plus new video interviews with stars Tom Atkins, Laurene Landon and writer Larry Cohen!

Stay tuned to the official Arrow Forum as there's more to be revealed...

Original Artwork by Rick Melton

Hopefully the extras from the Synapse disc will be ported over. And what's up with the higher list prices for this and Funhouse?

I also wondered about the price, but my guess is that these 2 titles will not be released by other companies in the near future, so they ask more for "exclusive" titles...

You had me at "Bruce Campbell".


...Well, actually you had me at "Arrow release".

I remember the trailer for this was on The Terminator VHS. I can't remember watching it but I have a memory like Leonard Shelby in Memento.... and I'm afraid of needles so tattooing film titles on my body isn't an option.

I'm still torn about which Arrow releases I want most, as I'm going to be watching a lot of horror in October and I'm looking for some good ones. It's hard because most of the Arrow horrors would be blind buys for me - all I have at the moment is Dawn of the Dead (pretty essential).*

I was considering getting Maniac Cop, Day of the Dead (seen it, but not for years) and The Funhouse to start... other suggestions?

You've got to get Day if the Dead as that is a classic for Halloween viewing. The PQs not the greatest but easily worth an upgrade though to be honest.
Personally I think The Beyond, Vamp and The Funhouse have the best PQ

Thanks for the suggestions! Day of the Dead is definitely at the top of my list at the moment in terms of Arrow's output.

Looks like the UK version has better extras and cooler cover art. Can anyone tell me if they have seen both, and which they prefer? Thanks

[Blu-Ray Winstone]

Did they only make like 10 copies of this??

No stores have it, Guildford HMV said it never arrived on 31st Oct and it has a 2week delivery date - which basically means out of stock

online it has a month delivery date with a couple of suppliers.

I'd like this, I'm not spending eBay prices.

Could anyone who has this give a little review, to see if its worth the hunt around ??

[Judex]

£14.99

Infact Amazon, HMV have it for the same price, and in stock.

[Blu-Ray Winstone]

Cool, thanks. The other week it was 1 - 2 weeks wait?
