Psycho Cop Returns

Plot synopsis:
In a coffeehouse, Officer Joe Vickers, a serial killer empowered by Satan, overhears Brian and Larry, a pair white-collar workers, discussing a bachelor party that they are planning to throw in their workplace for their friend Gary. Vickers follows the two to their office, and stakes it out in his car (which is full of body parts and demonic imagery) until after hours, which is when Larry bribes the security guard into letting in three strippers. Vickers tricks the guard into letting him in, then stabs him in the eye with a pencil.
Vickers sabotages the lifts, and when Mike goes downstairs to tell the night watchman about it, Vickers throws him down an elevator shaft. Vickers proceeds to send vaguely threatening faxes to the partiers, though this does not deter the drunken Gary from going up onto the roof with one of the strippers. The two are found by Vickers, who shoots Gary in the head, and throws the stripper off of the building. Vickers continues to send faxes, prompting Brian, Larry, and the remaining two strippers to go to the copy room, while elsewhere Vickers uses a decorative spear to impale a pair of workers who were having sex in a storage closet.
Larry, Brian, and the strippers flee when Mike and Gary's bodies fall through the ceiling of the copy room, and run into Sharon, an accountant who had stayed late. The quintet try to call 911, but the lines are not working, and while looking around to see if anyone else is in the building, they find the skewered couple, and are confronted by Vickers. Initially feigning being there to help, Vickers shoots Larry in the mouth, wounds Brian, and chases the others. The women try to escape through the front entrance, but the door is shatterproof, and handcuffed shut. While the trio make their way up to the garage exit, they are attacked by Vickers, who shoots one stripper, and snaps the neck of the other. Sharon is pursued by Vickers, but manages to set his face on fire (causing one of his sunglasses lenses to melt to his eye) and knock him down an elevator shaft, but he survives the fall.
Sharon makes it out through the garage, and is chased through the streets by Vickers, who catches her outside a bar. The patrons of the bar see Vickers attacking Sharon, and in a parody of the Rodney King incident, they beat down the officer as a bystander videotapes the scene from his apartment balcony. Sharon, Brian, and Vickers are all taken to a hospital, where Vickers is healed by demonic forces, massacres the police officers and medical staff watching him, and storms out of his room.

Review:
Psycho Cop 2 is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
I have never seen a better bad guy than Officer Joe Vickers.
the name says it all Psycho cop, what kind of horror film do you think you are in for?
yeah the movie for the most part is bad but its pretty damn funny at the same time.
After viewing the first Psycho Cop and found that a lot of fun, but completely stupid with awful acting and then finding out that there's a part 2, to be honest I wasn't all that thrilled and thought that it would be just a watered down version of the first one.
This time the setting is in an office building instead of the old camping teenagers in the woods scenario, which was a bit odd for a movie called Psycho Cop, but this setting makes more sense in a way and Bobby Ray Schafer (the cop himself) seems more fun in this one and has more snappier dialogue.
Plus the movie itself moves along at a decent pace and I wasn't bored for a minute and the strange turn it takes during the final act was a total surprise and very different and I didn't want this movie to end.The plot this time we start off with 2 office guys in a coffee shop making plans for a bachelor party at their office building after hours, but they are overheard by officer Joe Vickers himself and he doesn't approve and starts following them and of course when he enters the building all hell breaks loose with several office workers, a security guard and a couple of strippers all lined up ready for his brand of unique justice.The acting of course is pretty bad but I found the characters a lot more memorable than the first one and some were even likable.
Barbara Niven as the obvious final girl was pretty likable and was strong willed and proved to be a decent match for the psycho cop.
But the two strippers were a riot and of course Psycho cop himself steals the show.All in all Psycho Cop Returns is not by any means a masterpiece, but it is a lot of fun and highly enjoyable and honestly never thought that in a million years that I'd enjoy this but I did and I wish that there was a Psycho Cop 3..
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.
If he thinks a supposed A-list release like the unfortunately boring DETROIT ROCK CITY is something to be proud of, he needs to revert back to the mindset he was in while making this fun fest.
After a nifty title sequence, PSYCHO COP 2 settles in to tell the tale of an after hours bachelor party at an office building.
Various people die when the PSYCHO COP shows up and Julie Strain runs around in chaps.
If there could possibly be a director's cut, PSYCHO COP 2 could be a guilty pleasure classic for us horror fans.
Entertaining cop maniac horror movie!!!.
Psycho Cop Returns (1993) is a movie that entertained me, very low budget and very poor acting, but i found it to be pretty fun!!!!
Bobby Ray Shaffer once again plays the "psycho cop" officer Vickers, who gatecrashes an office party, the party is filled with dorky young men and strippers!!
Psycho Cop wants to kill them all off one by one and stalks and slashes his way through the party, but can anyone stop him before everyone is dead??
Shaffer is great fun as the "Psycho Cop" and comes out with loads of funny one liners during his killing spree!!
Like i said before, this was all good fun and kept me entertained for the 85 minute duration, there's some gore, some hot sex and plenty of sexy women on show, i haven't seen the 1st Psycho cop movie but i've heard it's not as fun or gory as this one!!
I rate this movie 7/10, recommended for fans of the Maniac cop series!!.
So, I saw the sequel in a store, and I immediately remember that all sequels to horrible horror films ("Sorority House Massacre", anyone?) are usually way more entertaining than the original.
I'm not sure how anyone could watch the first movie and approve a sequel, but this is totally better than anything else in the horror/comedy genre.Psycho Cop is Officer Joe Vickers, a man on a mission.
He wanders around an officer building and stabs a man in the eye and goes, "Keep an EYE OUT for me." Then, he throws someone down an elevator shaft and says, "That's the problem with elevators -- you always end up GETTING THE SHAFT." Every punchline is delivered with such grace and such bravado that it's as if Jerry Seinfeld himself wrote the one-liners.All the actors are amazingly hilarious.
In this fine film Bobby Ray Shafer gives a gripping performance as Officer Joe Vickers.
Shafer, overhears office workers Larry & Brian, Rod Sweitzer & Milles Dougal, talk about a bachelor party that's to be held that evening at their office with booze and grass and semi-nude women being brought in for adult entertainment.
Vickers a law & order nut and a bit into Satanic practices and sacrifices decides to stop these impending breaches of the law, drinking and having sex on the job, before it happens and to punish those criminals who break it and the only way he knows how is with brutal and deadly force.
Before you know it the local strippers are let into the building by the night watchman Gus, Al Schuerman, and the drinking and partying starts as office worker Gary, Dave Bean, is given his last fling as a bachelor before he ends up getting hooked.
It turns out instead to be Gary's last day alive on earth.Bloody and in some ways hilarious, with a number of sharp and witty one liners by Officer Vickers, horror flick with Vickers knocking off almost everyone at the party.
Vickers starts with Gus who he put a pencil through his brain then works his way up the building finishing off everyone else but Brian & Sharon, Barbara Niven, who survived his rampage.
The movie has a scene in it that copies the infamous March 1991 Rodney King police beating with Vickers being beaten and kicked by a bunch of outraged citizens, after trying to murder Sharon, with bats sticks and fists as the entire scene is being videotaped by an shocked onlooker,Adam Rifkin.
Still Vickers still manages to survive to live and kill another day in another Psycho Cop movie..
It doesn't try to be a serious horror movie, because the makers knew it was a sucky film and so they added one-liners and jokes.
Totally wicked sequel has good old psycho cop killing people at a rowdy party in an office building.
I knew this was going to be a treat about thirty seconds in, right after Officer Joe Vickers had uttered his first of many one-liners.
This is one of those movies that makes so many other ones look obsolete, especially the ones that don't have terrible puns about killing people in them.
Keep an eye out for me, I'm beginning to suspect foreplay, I should let you of with a warning, our psycho cop is having an incredibly creative evening.
"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!
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..
Psycho Cop Returns (1993) ** (out of 4) Some guys decide to have a bachelor party at their office after hours.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
I watched this immediately after the original Psycho Cop and, wow, what a difference a little self-awareness makes!
The original incompetently plodded through horrible writing, acting (with the exception of Shafer)and pretty much anything else you could screw up in a movie.
Psycho Cop, returning from his ill-fated venture in the first film, seeks out a couple of blue-collar office workers after he suspects their planning of something illegal.
Indeed, these two genntlemen, Larry (played by Roderick Darrin and Miles David Dougal) are planning a bachelor party for their friend, after the office closes.
A great movie, much more enjoyable than the Maniac Cop films..
What really elavates Pyscho Cop Returns (aka Psycho Cop 2) is the talent of Adam Rifkin (going under his Rif Coogan alias here) Rifkin completely acts like the first movie never existed which is good considering how bad the original really is, he gives you stuff you want in a movie like this good gore, boobs, sex, and an overall better performance from our killer Bobby Ray Shafer, all things that were missing in the first film.
Shafer himself is really good here and it's nice to see his acting and one liners have improved drastically this time around.
It's also nice to see Vingar Syndrome give this thing a great blu ray release, with better picture quality and of course the full uncut version of the film which for years was only available on a super rare VHS tape.
Overall, Psycho Cop Returns still isn't as good as its Maniac Cop counterpart, but it's still a fun enjoyable ride in it's own right..
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.
Psycho Cop hacks his way through highrise office bachelor party..
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...
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.
"Psycho Cop 2" is totally ridiculous with the satanic cop dropping in on a bachelor party to ruin their fun.
Skip the "Psycho Cop" series and check out the "Maniac Cop" series, they're much better and more fun to watch..
Love this film so much since the day of its release, as the original it's mixed of comedy and blood and fun, whis they made a this one
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.
It's gory, I guess, but aside from the gorgeous Barbara Niven (I'm amazed-she's been in other stuff!)and some sleazy stuff, it's a total waste--however it's a heck of a lot better than "Psycho Cop 1!".
Because there have been so much work on it and the result is everything else but good.The movie is about this Cop Joe Wicker who also is a Psycho Cop. As he eats at a coffeeshop he overhears two guys that is having a party at their work after closing time.
Officer Wicker follows them to their work because he sees the guys party as breaking the law and therefore when night comes he begins to kill them of one by one by one.
In the end when the Psycho Cop is supposed to die he just goes on and on without stopping which makes the whole thing very annoying.
The only thing the makers of this film has tried is to do a cover on the great Maniac Cop and they have failed big time..
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.
In the case of PSYCHO COP RETURNS I'm not quite sure which that is.Having not seen PSCHO COP I had no idea what to expect here.
The movie kicks off with a group of office workers planning a bachelor party after hours in their workplace.
But the truth is he only let them go to get a better idea of where they were heading and with plans on making sure they paid for breaking the law.Night falls, the office closes and the party begins.
At least at the time.Instead the films developed a cult type following with fans running VHS copies of the movie until they wore out.
Not bad for a 20 some year old movie.One interesting thing to note is that the director is a pseudonym for Adam Rifkin, the director of such films as THE DARK BACKWARD, THE CHASE and DETROIT ROCK CITY as well as having written SMALL SOLDIERS, MOUSEHUNT and ZOOM.
The end result is one that while not a fantastic movie is one of those fun slasher pics from the 80s/90s that is a must see for fans of the genre as well as a great drinking film for those who imbibe.
Bobby Ray Shafer and his wisecracking, satanic alter ego Officer Joe Vickers did their second go around in this almost comedic horror movie.
Laughing and slashing his way through the building, Officer Vickers like the first movie, has a one-liner for every occasion.
If you want to enjoy a couple of campy slasher flicks, spend an evening with Officer Joe Vickers..
In my opinion,"Psycho Cop Returns" is a lot better than its predecessor.It's more gory and sadistic than the original "Psycho Cop".This sequel pits a group of after-hours partying yuppies against satanic cop from hell Joe Vickers.Gore galore ensues until only a couple of yuppies are left alive."Psycho Cop Returns" features more sex and nudity than usual slasher flick.The director Adam Rifkin delivers also on the gore-the killings are more brutal as well.There is an eyeball violence,one guy is shot in the mouth etc.The party scene is pretty entertaining and gore-hounds should be satisfied by the lively death scenes.All in all,"Psycho Cop Returns" is a really good sequel and deserves a spot on any collector's shelf.I'm glad I picked up a copy as it was well worth the money spent.Highly recommended..
Psycho Cop Returns.
Squares in suits, working in cubicles in some city high rise company, are having a secret bachelor party in the building and will be the unfortunate victims of Bobby Ray Shafer's lunatic, devil-worshiping cop who seems impervious to pain (an ax to the stomach is merely a flesh wound and a fall down an elevator shaft several floors barely makes him limp while chasing the "final heroine").
While dropping lame endless kill and cop quips, Shafer has his fun decimating practically all characters he comes in contact with.
I think "Psycho Cop Returns" (I'm not sure any sequel to the wretched original was ever begged for) was an example of the tired slasher genre DOA at the beginning of the 90s.
It seems nobody told these guys that people had become numb to these movies by 1992.The murders are, at some points, somewhat well orchestrated, but the flat, often very obtrusive score (it even tells us when we are supposed to laugh at Shafer's dull jokes which are as obvious and old hat as his comedy killer routine) even ruins what could have been (and still somewhat is) a sizzling softcore sex scene between the attractive, sweaty, pulsating bodies of Justin Carrol and Carol Cummings.
Julie Strain is recognized in the credits as "1993's Penthouse Pet of the Year", and she shows up as one of the strippers for the bachelor party (and subsequently the one of many to be on Shafer's kill-list body count).
Oh, vey.Shafer resurrected himself on "The Office" as Bob Vance, a wonderful supporting part that has really given his career a needed boost from junk such as the Psycho Cop films.
Psycho cop is the ultimate crazy party crasher.
