Horror Digital also reviews the new MANIAC COP 3: BADGE OF SILENCE Blu-ray: Maniac Cop 3 certainly didn’t have the easiest road to TV and video store shelves, but twenty years later it’s time for us fans to give the film full pardon. It’s stylishly shot, acted with sincerity and still saddled with some show stopping stunts. It may be a bastard of Cohen’s original vision and only 50% of what Lustig shot for the picture, but remarkably the wit, style and energy that Cohen and Lustig brought to the first two films still shows here, albeit to a smaller degree. Despite Lustig disowning the picture, he still befits the Blu-ray with sterling AV (although the aspect ratio will no doubt be a minor point of contention) and an illuminating slate of supplements that hold nothing back. The troubled history behind the scenes is perhaps more interesting than the film itself, and from the included documentary and original story synopsis, we get a front seat to the carnage. This may have been the Cop’s last day on the force, but thanks to Blue Underground Matt Cordell’s retirement, both in front and behind the camera, will forever be preserved here.
