Trivia
Both Bruce Campbell and Robert Z'Dar have had the nickname "The Chin".

Goofs
Mountains and even a palm tree are visible in the background of a few shots during the chase scene near the end which is supposed to take place in New York City. They were obviously shot in Los Angeles.

Quotes
Security Guard: You always take a leak with a gun in your hand? That's a good way to blow your balls off!

Alternate versions
UK cinema and video versions were cut by 5 secs by the BBFC to remove closeup shots of Cordell's back and face being slashed during the shower scene. The Synergy DVD featured the same cut print though the 2004 extended version released by Optimum was fully uncut.

Low budget and awesome.

Maniac Cop is a great exploitation film. It has some truly inspired moments. Bruce Campbell is great and the Maniac Cop himself is a worthy creation in the horror genre. Most people will avoid this and they shouldn't, because for the budget and limitations it's a great flick. Fix a nice big bowl of popcorn and enjoy a great horror cheapie.
