Maniac Cop 4 (Lustig/Cohen/Winding Refn)

[Cody]

MANIAC COP to walk the beat again (http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=7163)

At this past weekend’s Anthology Film Archives screening of the first two films in the MANIAC COP series, director William Lustig broke the news that the franchise, on which he teamed for three movies with screenwriter Larry Cohen, will soon see a rebirth.

“Larry and I have gotten the sequel rights back for MANIAC COP, and we’re preparing to do a MANIAC COP 4,” Lustig tells Fango. “I don’t have any more details other than that; this all happened within the last month, so it’s so fresh… When I get back to Los Angeles, Larry and I are going to sit down and work on something.”

No doubt Lustig will be seeking more creative control than he had with the last installment, 1993’s MANIAC COP 3, which ran afoul of producer interference.

:D I'm excited to see the return of Matt Cordell. It's been too long.

[Jigsaw]

I still haven't seen the original Maniac Cop and have a very vague memory of the sequels. But it's cool to see a series getting a sequel and not another remake.

[Jack Bauer]

I'm guessing at that last line Part 3 would be ignored. :side:

[Cody]

I can't find any more details on the Maniac Cop 3 problems than this (http://www.moria.co.nz/horror/maniaccop3.htm)

The film was subject to a considerable number of problems during production. Director William Lustig walked off before the end of shooting and was replaced by Joel Soisson, who was responsible for adding the campier novelty deaths. Larry Cohen also voiced dissatisfaction with the rewriting of his script.

I doubt Cordell will be a complete crispy critter in the new movie, but other than that they should be able to continue on without either referencing or ignoring the events of part 3.

[The Dream Master]

Holy fuck, Notti is going to be pumped when he hears this.

I just (jokingly) made a comment in the Maniac Cop thread where I said I'm still waiting for part 4. And here we are.

[CosmoBubba]

I'm still waiting for "Maniac Cop vs. Psycho Cop," personally.

[Ron]

I'm stoked for this...Maybe the second film will get released on dvd now.

[Jigsaw]

That, and a proper unrated DVD of Maniac Cop 3.

[nottidelterrore]

Very good news! The return of Matt Cordell(hopefully) as well as the team of Lustig & Cohen!

[Ron]

It's a great, underrated slasher series that I would not mind seeing it continue on.

[nottidelterrore]

I'm stoked for this...Maybe the second film will get released on dvd now.

Hopefully if First Look puts out a decent edition or sells off the rights for a good price. I wish Synapse, Anchor Bay, or Blue Underground could get the rights to the second & third films & give us a good special editions like Synapse did with the first. I don't mind the First Look release of Maniac Cop 3 too much since the picture looks good & it's cheap in price.

[NW77]

Cool! I like the Maniac Cop films (part 3 was horseshit though) & I hope they do part 4. Hopefully it will be way better than part 3. Maybe part 4 should be a proper part 3.

[Scarecrow]

I hope they don't ignore Part 3, frustrating when franchises do that.

- Scarecrow

[Lammert]

Maniac Cop 3 was a weird film...

[nottidelterrore]

I can't find any more details on the Maniac Cop 3 problems than this (http://www.moria.co.nz/horror/maniaccop3.htm)

Bill Lustig told us this about Maniac Cop 3(in regards to who filmed what & for how long they filmed) when we interviewed him:

I shot 24 days, I think Joel shot 3-4 days consisting of scenes to stretch the running time like the relationship scenes with Davi and the doctor (I forgot her name).

Thoughts

[Apocalypto]

Great poster, and I love the tag line.

My eyes lit up when I read this thread title, I almost gave up on a part IV and expected a remake was more likely.

I've loved all three films since I was a kid.

[NW77]

That's a pretty good poster there, Grim. I like to see another take. Like a brighter looking of Carroll, since that one is pretty dark. :)

[Ron]

Matt Cordell has always been an empathetic character to me. I think 4 should continue on with the same comtinuity as the former sequels.

[The Dark Vampire]

I'm stoked for this...Maybe the second film will get released on dvd now.

It's out on DVD in the UK I've already got it.

[Jack Bauer]

How exactly is Cordell an anti-vigilante?

[GrimReaper]

Not sure. I've heard some people call him that though.

[Apocalypto]

How exactly is Cordell an anti-vigilante?

By doing what a vigilante would do, but not limiting it to criminals.

"It's out on DVD in the UK I've already got it."

Yeah, I have a region free dvd of it, not the best quality though.

[nottidelterrore]

Cordell is called an "anti-vigilante" in the Maniac Cop Rap at the end of Maniac Cop 2 too. Hahaha.

The best region 2 version of Maniac Cop 2 is probably the disc included in the Maniac Cop trilogy steelbook set. The picture is in full screen & is ok for the most part. There are French subtitles but it's in English. I'm sure you can get the subtitles off depending on what kind of DVD player you have.

[Chucky's back]

As long as good, ol' Robert Z'Dar is in it I would love to see a fourth entry.
And personally I loved part 3, I liked all three entries.

[GrimReaper]

Hey Notti will you be re-opening the Maniac Cop Fans message board when Maniac Cop 4 is released

[nottidelterrore]

Only if the demand is high enough & more than one person wants us to re-open it. Other than that, it's pointless to have a message board that only two people post on.

So more than likely, we won't be re-opening it.

[Ron]

I've actually seen some message boards like that. It's pretty sad.

[nottidelterrore]

It is pretty sad indeed.

When Maniac Cop 4 gets made or if the build-up to its release is pretty good & the demand for the board is high enough, it'll definitely be re-opened. And only if people actually post.

I emailed Bill Lustig last night & he said he'd keep us posted on any news or happenings.

[Ron]

If so notti, I will indeed be there!

[James M]

Awesome...Maniac Cop needs to be re-introduced to the world. Hopefully it has a good plot and is action packed like MC 2. Due to Cordell's condition at the end of MC 3, they'll either have to reboot the series or just ignore the last film. Or who knows...maybe they'll do them possession idea that floated around years ago.

And if the board at MCF is re-opened, I'll return there as well.

[nottidelterrore]

I read on Retro Slashers that the possession idea either became a movie called "The Force" or elements of it were used. I can't remember how it was worded & would reference if the site was up but it isn't at the moment.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109826/

[Chucky's back]

I hope they don't use that plot, it has to much of a Jason Goes To Hell-vibe to it.

[nottidelterrore]

Here's the bit from Retro Slashers that I mentioned a few posts ago:

Maniac Cop: The Resurrection
Apparently William Lustig & Larry Cohen intended to make a fourth film in the action/slasher series but weren't able to finance it, which would be surprising due to the others being big video hits. The supposed storyline was a rookie police officer receiving Matt Cordell's old badge number, and gradually becoming possessed by Maniac Cop's spirit. An unrelated movie called The Force later used the same idea. Also, Lustig & Cohen once joked during a Fangoria interview about a Maniac Cop Vs Uncle Sam (another Cohen/Lustig villian).

http://retroslashers.net/unproduced.htm

[Ron]

Ughh...I hope nothing like that happens with this. I want Matt Cordell in the (rotting) flesh!

[Apocalypto]

Based on Matt's ability to regenerate I really don't think it matters.

[James M]

Was that a joke based on all the regeneration stuff said about Jason? Cause Cordell never "regenerated" anything in the three Maniac Cop films.

[Ron]

I'm not too sure about his regeneration abilities, but he certainly is pretty friggin' resilient!

[nottidelterrore]

As far as I know, Cordell doesn't have any regeneration abilities. Like PB said about me, he's really resilient. And he's durable as hell. Who drives around while being on fire!? Haha.

[Apocalypto]

Was that a joke based on all the regeneration stuff said about Jason? Cause Cordell never "regenerated" anything in the three Maniac Cop films.

Yes he has, anyone that can sustain bullet wounds, stab wounds, being light on fire, falling off buildings from 100+ feet up, etc... and keep going like it's a minor inconvenience is regenerating.
Based on all the times he's been shot, his heart, brain and other organs would've blown to a red puddle by now, yet he's still fine.
If he can sustain that, than he's perfectly capable of coming back in normal (by his standards) condition from what happened in Maniac Cop 3...or what happens to him in pretty much anything.
If he couldn't regenerate, he'd still have a massive hole through his torso from having that gigantic pole rammed through him at the end of the first film.

Once you've established that your franchise villain is a super human destroy that can come back from one fatal wound after another with little trouble, it really doesn't matter what happens to them.

Any horror villain that has shown themselves to be well above what we consider mortal has shown regenerative abilities.

[Ron]

Well the let's just say it hasn't been determined "officially" a la Jason X in the interest of fairness.;)

[Apocalypto]

Yeah, but it doesn't really matter, if he couldn't regenerate he wouldn't even have any internal organs left right now and he'd have been permanently charcoal black after being roasted and blown up at the of MC2.

[nottidelterrore]

Well the let's just say it hasn't been determined "officially" a la Jason X in the interest of fairness.;)

Word.

Until it's officially determined by the filmmakers, I'm sticking by what I said.

[Apocalypto]

It's been officially determined by what the films have shown.
Someone sustaining repeated wounds that are obviously fatal only to return with no sign of those injuries (as we've seen Matt do numerous times) is pretty much the definition of regenerating.

[nottidelterrore]

I'm not arguing. My opinion isn't going to change.

[Apocalypto]

That's up to you, but what I'm stating isn't really opinion, it's what the films have clearly shown.

[nottidelterrore]

If you say so.

[Apocalypto]

So you don't think that the films have shown him sustain countless fatal bullet wounds, drops from high ledges, being lit ablaze, blown up, impaled through the gut with a post so large it slammed a bowling ball sized wound through him?

In your opinion, that didn't happen?

I don't see what possible alternative people can think that they're seeing for someone returning from these wounds spotless if that person is not regenerating.

[nottidelterrore]

Yeah it did happen, duh. It's in the movie.

If Lustig & Cohen state that he has the ability to regenerate, I'll change my tone. Until then, I'm not.

You're entitled to think what you want as am I. And that's all I'm saying on this matter. I'm not going to sit here & argue with you. Neither one of us are going to change what we think.

[Apocalypto]

Yeah it did happen, duh. It's in the movie.

Exactly, and since he no longer has some bowling ball sized hole in his gut, and his organs still function after being blasted countless times often at closes range, and because his skin is not charcoal black after being set on fire and blown up...we have SEEN him regenerate, that's the only way he'd still be alive and not have these wounds anymore.

That's every bit as much fact as the fact that these things happened in the first place, there's really no alternative way to look at it.

If you don't feel it's regeneration, what do you call having a massive hole through the torso that is no longer there the next time you see that person, or someone with their flesh scorched that comes back exactly as they were before it happened?

If he could not supernaturally regenerate, these wounds would've killed him, he wouldn't have returned with no signs of them.

Saying that we haven't seen him regenerate is like saying that we haven't seen him show super-human strength.

[Chucky's back]

Based on all the times he's been shot, his heart, brain and other organs would've blown to a red puddle by now, yet he's still fine.
If he can sustain that, than he's perfectly capable of coming back in normal (by his standards) condition from what happened in Maniac Cop 3...or what happens to him in pretty much anything.
If he couldn't regenerate, he'd still have a massive hole through his torso from having that gigantic pole rammed through him at the end of the first film.
For all we know, he might still have that hole, it just isn't visible because he gets a new pair of clothes in each film. Cordell is also a sort of zombie-like being so he can't feel pain which is why he doesn't show much sign of injury when he's shot in the heart, lungs or other organs. And since he is pretty much a walking corpse the regeneration bullshit seems even more far-fetched as dead, decayed cells and tissue isn't capable of growing or healing any longer.

[Ron]

That's a really good point. I've always hated the notion of killer's "regenerating" flesh and body parts.

[Apocalypto]

And since he is pretty much a walking corpse the regeneration bullshit seems even more far-fetched as dead, decayed cells and tissue isn't capable of growing or healing any longer.

We know that his skin isn't charcoaled, we know that he doesn't have holes in his head even though he's been shot there more than once...

If he still had that hole in his gut he should still have all those bullet wounds too, but he doesn't.

OF COURSE it's far-fetched, as is a story about some cop that was cut up in prison and returned basically from the dead to become some unstoppable killing machine.
It is not at all far-fetched within the context of the films, regardless of how realistically impossible it would be, to say that he can regenerate since we have SEEN him do it.
Picking people up and tossing them around like footballs is also rather far-fetched, just as far-fetched as regeneration.
Feeling pain has nothing to do with it, the point is that those organs would be completely splattered and wouldn't even be there any more from all the holes they'd have in them by now if he could not regenerate.

It's bullshit to deny the fact, but if you want to be my guest.

[nottidelterrore]

I've always hated the notion of killer's "regenerating" flesh and body parts.

Same here. :D

[Apocalypto]

Hate it all you want, but it's in the movies.
Simply not liking a fact does not alter it.

[nottidelterrore]

I hate it so much that I'm shaking my fist at the screen.

I really think you just like to argue with people that don't share your opinions. I'm glad my thoughts mean so much to you.

Moving on to talk about Maniac Cop 4, I'm really hoping that Bill & Larry can give us something good. And I hope it can happen within the next few years.

As for Robert Z'Dar returning, I'd like to see him back as Cordell but only if he's physically able to do the role. He's pushing 60 now.

[Apocalypto]

What I like is when people realize the difference between objective and subjective, and don't get offended when someone points out and provides objective proof of obvious facts.

This isn't a matter of opinion, it's an objective fact proven by what the films have shown, and because you do not like the fact it's easier to make me out to be an argumentative jerk than to simply admitt it.

Not everything is subjective, not everything changes simply because you don't happen to like it.

OPINION: Maniac Cop is better than Maniac Cop 2

FACT: Matt's last name is Cordell

FACT: We have seen numerous fatal wounds inflicted on Matt Cordell that he has returned from with no signs of them whatsoever, obviously showing supernatural regenerative capabilities.

Fact #2 is every bit as factual as Fact #1.

[Ron]

Hate it all you want, but it's in the movies.
Simply not liking a fact does not alter it.

It may be in other movies, but it has never been stated in this series. I'm not saying that just because I don't like something means it doesn't exist. I think it's also worth saying that just because you think that the regeneration explaination is the most logical, doesn't make it fact.

[Apocalypto]

It's in THESE movies, I've given numerous examples.

I don't think it, I know it because the films have shown it for reasons that I have already stated.

It's not "the most logical," it's the ONLY explanation.

That's like saying "just because he can pick people up and effortlessly toss them around like hes playing volleyball doesn't mean he has superhuman strength, that's just one way of looking at it;" no, actually it's not one way of looking at it, it's EXACTLY what we've seen.
Same applies to his regeneration.

Tell me, if he is not regenerating, why is he not charcoaled and why does he not still have all of those holes in him (which he in fact does not)?

Tell me, if he is not regenerating, why is he not charcoaled and why does he not still have all of those holes in him (which he in fact does not)?

He is still charcoaled after the fire, just look at him in the scene outside the hospital were he grabs that punk, there's burnmarks all over his face. And I already explained why we can't see the holes in his body, he got a new police uniform.
Whatever signs of regeneration you claim to have seen must have been continuity errors. The filmmakers didn't intentionally try to show that his body could restore itself.

[Apocalypto]

No actually, you haven't, since as I said he was shot in the head numerous times and yet we see no holes in his head, you just ignored that because you have no counter for it. Again, if he still had the hole in his body, he should still have holes in his head too.
No, his skin is not charcoaled in Maniac Cop 3, he doesn't look much worse than he did in Maniac Cop 2...if you think his skin looks charcoal black in Maniac Cop 3 (as it would if he had not healed from the severe burns, AND being blown up at the end of MC2) than you apparently have never seen charcoal, or a burn victim before.

To call it "continuity errors" is simply a convenient way of dismissing it (I've also noticed it's the only thing people can resort to when this topic comes up with any character whenever someone offers objective, blatant examples of a character clearly regenerating), if his body could not restore itself, he'd be dead.
I haven't "claimed" to have seen anything, I've stated objective facts of what's clearly shown in the films and explained in graphic detail why this man's body could not still be functioning, or be in the condition it is in if he could not regenerate.

You want to know what happens to someone that can't regenerate?

Billy Loomis in Scream...shot in the head once...DEAD.

It's that simple. Someone that sustains countless bullet wounds all over his body, severe impalements, burnings, drops of buildings, explosions, etc...and keeps returning like it's just another day at the obvious is OBVIOUSLY regenerating, if they weren't they'd have ended up like Billy after the first fatal bullet wound.

I've asked about five times for those that contend with this to tell me what's happening here if it's not regeneration and the only answer that I keep getting "it's not regeneration," in other words, there is no answer, which proves my point.

Anyways, I'll be sure to remember from now on, whenever I see anything in any movie that I don't like, it doesn't count, because it was just a "continuity error." Jack Forrest should be in Maniac Cop 4, I mean he didn't die in the other movies, sure that's that little thing about a knife through the throat in MC2 and seeing his corpse in the morgue, but those were mere "continuity errors.":)
In all seriousness, it'd actually be a much bigger continuity error if Cordell COULDN'T regenerate in the next film.

[Just Jeans]

Apocalypto, chill out. It's only a film. It's cool that you disagree with someone, but there's no need to be so overbearing about it. Learn to let it go. Stop banging your chest and talking down to people who don't share your opinion.

[Jason's Storm]

Can't we all agree to disagree?

~JS

[Apocalypto]

Apocalypto, chill out. It's only a film. It's cool that you disagree with someone, but there's no need to be so overbearing about it. Learn to let it go. Stop banging your chest and talking down to people who don't share your opinion.

I'm perfectly chilled out, I'm not banging on my chest or sharing an opinion, I'm stating facts.

The reason I don't "let it go" is because I am legitemately curious to find out what people actually call it when someone returns from obviously fatal wounds with no sign of them if it's not regeneration.

I'm not talking down to people, I'm proving a point, as I mentioned before there is objective and subjective, simply stating the difference hardly means I'm out of line. There's a difference between talking down to someone, and simply stating facts.

If anyone feels its getting tiresome and wants to let it go they can go right ahead, people do not have to respond to to what I'm saying if they don't choose to.

[Ron]

Wasn't there voodoo involved anyway??

Dr.House: "Yes, it's gotta be the voodoo. Everything fits!;)"

[Apocalypto]

A.) Even if the third film hadn't been made, we seen his hand rise up out of the coffin to grab the badge in the second anyway.

B.) That only explains one of many of the fatal wounds he sustained that had very little effect on him.

C.) He was still alive at the end of part 3 after being set on fire and blown up yet again, and that was well after the voo doo witch doctor was dead.

[Scarecrow]

Horror, or indeed action films, rarely care about wounds or injuries after more than ten minutes. As long as we can't SEE it, the wound is assumed to be "fine"... just the way films work.


- Scarecrow

[Apocalypto]

That's true (atleast in the case of horror, especially recurring villains), my point was simply that I don't see why people would find it so much of a stretch within the context of the films to see a resurrected super cop that's sustained countless fatal wounds and numerous other would be fatal injuries and took it as though he were just flug with rubber bands come back with a new arm.

As far as I'm concerned, once you've established that the villain can be shot right in the head or heart and keep going with no trouble, it really doesn't matter what happens to them. You don't need to keep explaining how the character recovered, you've already established that they're body is perfectly capable of healing from...pretty much anything.

If you're talking about a fairly realistic character, then you certainly should explain it, but realistic people like Cordell and Jason certainly are not.

[The Dark Vampire]

Ah this takes me back to the Can Michael Regenerate days from the old board

[Apocalypto]

I was actually thinking of mentioning him too.;)

[Cody]

Lustig talks (http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=7320)

work is progressing on the latest chapter in the Officer Matt Cordell saga. “We’re going to reinvent the series with MANIAC COP 4,” Lustig said, adding that original actor Robet Z’Dar will not be donning the blue uniform again. “We want to start fresh. We replowed the field already.”

[The Dream Master]

Hrm. Interesting.

Well, I guess whoever they get to replace Z'Dar can look pretty similar under makeup.

[nottidelterrore]

I had doubts about Z'Dar returning due to his age & his health. I know from the interview on the Synapse Maniac Cop DVD that he stated he had two new hips. The role of Matt Cordell is pretty physically demanding.

[The Dream Master]

Cohen and Lustig have been joined by...Nicolas Winding Refn?! (http://badassdigest.com/2012/04/17/nicolas-winding-refn-to-produce-cop-movie-maniac-cop-movies/)

Nicolas Winding Refn does what he wants. And it turns out what he wants is to join the team producing the Maniac Cop remake/prequel. He'll be joining the legendary Larry Cohen and William Lustig.

Talking to Daily Grindhouse, Cohen says:

“It’s going to be more a prequel than anything else, I am really excited to come back to this world especially since Nick is going to be a part of it... Nick (Winding Refn) has been talking to us about it for a while now and I had an idea that would work so we’re going to do it.”

Holy shit, yes.

[nottidelterrore]

That's definitely kinda odd. Good odd though.

[Cody]

The rest from Daily Grindhouse (http://dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/dg-exclusive-nicolas-winding-refn-joins-lustig-cohen-for-new-maniac-cop-film/)

Cohen said that the film will still maintain the noir-ish comic book feel of the first three films but “with a bigger budget than the others have had.”

Lustig cautioned that “the project isn’t 100% signed off on but it’s pretty close.”

It is unclear who will be taking over the director’s chair but we have three options and all of them look good for the dormant franchise:

Option 1: These films have inspired a huge cult-following that is even bigger in Asia than it is here. With such a huge foot-print it’s not going to be difficult to find an exciting director to pick this up… which of course leads us to option 2.

Option 2: Nicolas Winding Refn! After using a little clip from Lustig’s VIGILANTE in DRIVE, it would be cool as hell to see this guy jump behind the wheel and direct this bad boy himself.

Option 3: Nobody knows this series better than Larry Cohen and William Lustig. Lustig hasn’t directed since 1996, Cohen hasn’t been behind the camera since 2006, it would be great to see one of those guys get back into the game. Personally, I think Cohen is more comfortable with a pen these days, but I would be surprised if Lustig hasn’t kicked around the idea of doing this himself.

Either way you slice it it’s triple 7s, Bastards. One of the best franchises in genre filmmaking is coming back to life. Dig it!

Surprising news, but very cool.

[Ron]

Indeed. We need another Maniac Cop movie!!!

[nottidelterrore]

Would love to see Lustig return as director.

[CosmoBubba]

I'm still waiting for Maniac Cop vs. Psycho Cop, personally.

[Ron]

Hell, I's still waiting for a Region 1 release of Psycho Cop:shifty:

[WesReviews]

I'm still waiting for Maniac Cop vs. Psycho Cop, personally.

I'm still waiting for Maniac Cop vs. Psycho Cop vs. RoboCop vs. Time Cop.

[The Dream Master]

And Samurai Cop.

[WesReviews]

And...

[The Dream Master]

fjwjfieoweifoi WHAT THE FUCK. I must have that.

[nottidelterrore]

Hell, I's still waiting for a Region 1 release of Psycho Cop:shifty:

Hah, me too. And perhaps an unedited DVD of Psycho Cop Returns.

Has anyone else here besides me seen Samurai Cop yet? If not, get on it.

[Callum Sanderson]

you forgot Scanner Cop :( one of my favorite films :shyface:

and I guess.. Hell Cop.. from that Highway movie CJ Graham was in.

[The Dream Master]

Hah, me too. And perhaps an unedited DVD of Psycho Cop Returns.

Has anyone else here besides me seen Samurai Cop yet? If not, get on it.

I shit you not, dude, I took it off the shelf because you recommended it, and it's been kind of sitting on my "to watch" pile for like months now. I'm gonna get around to it because it sounds goddamned amazing.

[Callum Sanderson]

MCop trilogy was perfect. Does it really need another installment? Since original writer is coming back, it can't exactly be screwed around with. It's a prequel right? I have high hopes for this! at least it's part of the same story line and not a remake.

[nottidelterrore]

Watch it ASAP and spread the word about it around. Perhaps even a review? Haha.

I have very few people to talk about it with. I've made my friends watch it and it's so bad that they don't even like it...but they love Undefeatable(another recommendation).

I'm very excited about this Maniac Cop 4 news. It would be a huge news update for the ol' site if the other guy wasn't a douche nuked the site from orbit. I need to revisit the trilogy soon. I did watch the first late last year. Haven't watched them much in the past few years, however.

[Cody]

I watched Samurai Cop a few years ago. Don't remember much, but I know I enjoyed it with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary.

[nottidelterrore]

I need to watch it with Joe Bob's commentary. Man, I miss MonsterVision.
