Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Michael_Elliott Psycho Cop Returns (1993) ** (out of 4) Some guys decide to have a bachelor party at their office after hours. The strippers show up. The liquor is flowing. Everyone is having a blast but they don't realize that Officer Joe Vickers (Bobby Ray Shafer) doesn't like people who break the law.PSYCHO COP was an extremely low-budget attempt at a slasher movie. This sequel certainly looks a lot more professional and it features a lot more nudity and some bloodier death scenes but on the whole there's really nothing overly special about it. PSYCHO COP RETURNS is a fairly silly little picture that is mildly entertaining thanks to the R-rated stuff but there's no question that neither film is all that good.With that said, this sequel was certainly a bit better than the original because of the extra money that allowed for better special effects. The film has some pretty bloody moments throughout but the highlight are a couple gunshot wounds that allow a lot of blood to go flying. Some of the death scenes were rather lazy but for the most part they helped keep the film moving. The non-stop nudity from the strippers (one played by Julie Strain) was a plus.PSYCHO COP RETURNS isn't the worst movie ever made but at the same time it's certainly not all that good. Once again it's Shafer who steals the film as the nutty cop.

big-gun Bobby Ray Shafer and his wisecracking, satanic alter ego Officer Joe Vickers did their second go around in this almost comedic horror movie. Instead of chasing college kids through the woods, he's invading a clandestine bachelor party in an office building. After overhearing two of the office drones talking about the upcoming festivities (Cop cliché, he's having coffee and a doughnut at the time), he toys with them in his own disturbing way and leaves. Opening credits and a police cruiser full of human body parts with satanic symbols drawn in blood. Now don't you figure a casual passerby would have noticed? Oh well, no point in over-analyzing. Larry (Rod Sweitzer) and his paranoid buddy Brian (Miles Dougal) make their way to their crummy jobs in a depressing office building with a terminally grouchy boss, excited over the possibilities the evening holds.Booze and strippers abound, not to mention two office workers carrying on in the copy room. Enter the uninvited guest with murder on his mind. Laughing and slashing his way through the building, Officer Vickers like the first movie, has a one-liner for every occasion. Sometimes two or three. He also has some pretty creative ways of taking out his victims. The ending was a cliffhanger, but no third movie has materialized.I have to admit, I actually found this one more enjoyable than the first. Though I can't help but be curious where Joe in the three or four years that had passed. Oh well, I'm over-analyzing again. If you want to enjoy a couple of campy slasher flicks, spend an evening with Officer Joe Vickers.

Seth Nelson Eeeeh!!!!! "Psycho Cop Returns" is just a weird, but funny, movie! From looking at that video cover, I thought to myself, "Is this 'Robocop' or 'Psycho Cop'?" Well, this movie might not be as great as "Robocop" really is, but if you want a similar movie with all the laughs and good times, the "Psycho Cop" series is the choice! Especially this version; it's just absurd and weird! It definitely ranks up there with all of those other "So Bad, It's Awesome" kinds of movies! Hey, I'm not kidding when I talk this and many other movies in this category!"Psycho Cop Returns" is a ten star movie in my book, and this is the best of the series.

boondocksaint20 Okay, for those who believe this movie is cheap, I totally agree. But, this is one of those films where the filmmakers are not taking themselves or their script seriously, on purpose! Psycho Cop and Psycho Cop 2 are excellent movies under the influence of alcohol, especially when things have calmed down. I love this movie b\c it is so easy to make fun of, thanks to the cheesy editing and God-awful, but hilarious one-liners. Officer Joe Vickers is simply a great villain, not for his intimidation or acting prowess, but b\c he looks like an insane asylum escapee. Gotta love when he reads the dead guy his right b\c, "even though it's extremely strange b\c [he's] dead!" I recommend this movie to those out there who can lighten up and enjoy a movie for pure enjoyment and not it's big budget or list of high rate actors. 6/10.
