Psycho Cop Returns
A group of office workers decide to have a party in the office building. Among other things, they want to have some drugs there. Their conversation on the subject is overheard by Joe Vickers, which is rather unfortunate for them, since Joe Vickers is a policeman. Even more unfortunate is the fact that Vickers is also an undead psychotic satanist, and instead of arresting them, he will make sure that nobody leaves the party alive...

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
To me, this movie is perfection.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
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.
Psycho Cop Returns is a ridiculously hysterical, spectacularly bad, and above all thoroughly bad movie.It would seem that a group of people with nothing better to do hired a thirteen year old to write a script, then broke into an office building and filmed the entire movie in sequence in one night.Yet, let me be the first to say that the end result is nothing short of a miracle. The last twenty minutes are a tour de force, and throughout the movie the script increasingly becomes more and more ridiculous and funny. I was laughing so hard I couldn't believe it.Rent this movie if you are ready for the time of your life!
Some oversexed executives decide to throw a bachelor party in a closed-down-for-the-night highrise. Officer Joe Vickers (Bobby Ray Shafer, just as awful as he was in the original) decides that's "against company policy," sneaks into the building and proceeds to slaughter everyone while making stupid wisecracks ("You have the right to remain... dead!"). Other than the guys, a night watchman and male and female office workers are still around and three stripper/hookers (Julie Strain, Melanie Good and "Priscilla Huckleberry"/Maureen Flaherty) show up, so there's plenty of nudity and victims (unlike in the first film).Incompetently handled gore scene include a pencil to the eye, axe to the stomach and a double impalement, plus a girl tossed off the roof and people pushed down an elevator shaft. Little of this is actually shown thanks to poor editing, though I was only able to see the R-rated version, which seems to have been censored with a chainsaw.Still, this is a marked improvement over the insufferable original. There are a few laughs, some of the cast members show promise (especially Barbara Niven as the attractive female accountant working late and Miles David Dougal as the nervous/nerdy guy). The weirdest moment occurs at the end of the film, where the director cameos in a scene influenced by the then-topical Rodney King beating! Don't ask.
I dont think this film is quite as bad as everyone makes it out to be, I know its not as good as the original, for a start it has no Bruce Campbell. But the opening is good, and there is a nice eye gouging with a pencil. My favourite scene was the couple on the photocopier getting killed. But above all the best thing has to be - Julie Strain.
