Good concept, poorly executed.

Amateur movie with Big budget

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Well, I didn't see this coming. But I got to hand it to it. It was surprisingly entertaining and easily surpasses the original "Psycho Cop". Think of "Die Hard", but sleazier and done like a slasher outing with a touch of soft-core as Officer Joe Vickers gatecrashes a late- night stag party. Probably even more on the cheap. While the first felt serious with unintentional humour, "Returns" seems to play-up the concept with tongue-in-cheek and self-knowing quips. It's outrageous, sexed-up and totally ups the ante, nasty and gory deaths with Officer Vickers chipping with a witty response nearly every time. Robert R Shaffer returns to the deranged role and he gives an even better performance, which doesn't feel as amateurish and his delivery of the dialogue is less painful. Everything moves at a fast pace, the setting keeps the horror confined, as the body count piles up and the story's developments go over-the-top. The plot is pulpy, but a little creative and the performances are fairly animated with the ravishing Barbara Niven leading the way.

I have just received this video in a 'job lot' so I was not expecting anything. Well as others have said It is so bad that it's good. Funny, entertaining, watchable and for the guys t & a with loads of shots of the dancers backside as they run from this fiend Psycho Cop. Like others I have not seen the first and now I do plan to. The cop gets some great lines and the geeky guy was great. Almost lost points when he is shot. Gory death followed by macabre one liners that could make Bond envious. And of course the guy with all the reasons why it cant be so. Well didn't he feel a fool. Some bits are like a soft-porn but with a better writer. The deaths are inventive and the photo-copier is used to its fullest extent. Watch this with an open mind and you will find yourself smiling and laughing at this B-Grade Horror Film

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.

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.
