Disadvantages: None

Campbell plays Elvis, the actual, real Elvis. It seems he switched places with a look-alike (also played by Campbell) because he got bored of all the glitz and glamour and wanted to get back to his roots.

Low Budget ‘Slasher’ Film fights Mediocrity

Advantages: Good central story with well played bad guy.
Disadvantages: Low production values, story drags, weak dialogue.

MANIAC COP (1988) Tagline: “You have the right to remain silent. Forever.” A series of horrific murders have occurred on the streets of New York. They appear related. Witnesses identify the killer as wearing a police officer’s uniform. Officer Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell) suddenly becomes the prime suspect with even his wife doubting him. With the help of love interest Theresa Mallory (Laurene Landon) and detective Frank McCrae (Tom Atkins) he ...
...is Robert Z’Dar as the maniac cop that steals the show. His strong physical presence combined with the image of the starched, authoritarian police uniform creates a very foreboding character. The very idea of fearing police officers late at night leaves a lasting impression. Larry Cohen’s (Phone Booth and a multitude of trashy low budget horror flicks) script does contain a strong central premise, which slowly reveals itself throughout the film. ...
