Maniac cop - Il poliziotto maniaco

Bruce Campbell has jokingly stated at conventions that he does not like being reminded of or asked questions about this film, as he was going through a messy divorce during filming. Violators of the taboo will quickly find themselves on the receiving end of Campbell's legendarily ruthless razor wit. This has led to convention-goers deliberately bringing up the film in order to have the "honor" of being insulted by him.

Maniac Cop 2 takes place immediately after Maniac Cop. Near the end of the first film we are told it's St. Patrick's Day (hence the police parade scene), but at the beginning of part 2, the police commissioner is decorating his office for Christmas just after a scene where a Christmas carol is heard by church bells. Seeing as where one movie takes place directly after another movie this is an obvious continuity issue.

Dedicated to Joe "Maniac" Spinell

Some of the violence was trimmed to get an "R" rating, most notably the police station massacre. This scene appears in its entirely in a flashback sequence in Maniac Cop 3 (which was also originally given an "NC-17" rating).
