Revealing mistake: The dead cop can be clearly seen sitting up even though he's dead as the lady cop tosses the chair through a window. The next shot he's back to being dead again. (01:16:00 - 01:17:15)
Maniac Cop (1988)
Directed by: William Lustig
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Richard Roundtree, Tom Atkins, Laurene Landon, Robert Z'Dar
Continuity mistake: When Jack Forrest is leaving his wife behind to go on night duty, there is sunlight coming through the window.
Plot hole: It is explained that due to the severe beating/stabbing Cordell received in prison, he has no "higher brain function." How does this make him impervious to gunshots?
Trivia: Bruce Campbell reportedly only took the job working on this film for the paycheck, and he isn't very keen on the finished product despite it being a cult-classic and warmly received by the horror community.
Frank McCrae: He'll kill again... he enjoys killing.
Frank McCrae: Whole city's goin' to hell. You can't take a pee anywhere anymore.
Commissioner Pike: Tell me something, when was the last time you had a mental test?
Frank McCrae: ...anytime, Commissioner.
Commissioner Pike: As a matter of fact, didn't you try to shoot yourself a couple of years back?
Frank McCrae: ...gun went off.
