Cop Killers

Read it, read the book. Start from where it says, he plunged his.... A classic movie in every sense of the word. Whats not to like about this flick. Lots of booze, drugs and babes, all in an ice cream truck to boot! My only regret is that I don't own my own copy.

OK, i usually don't watch 70's exploitation films but i figured i would give it half a chance, i mean my friend Jim saw it so how bad can it be.. It was bad. Now we all know what its about , A couple of losers killing every policeman they encounter. Now i was kinda surprised about how violent the film tried to be and it was rather different seeing some early effects work here by none other than Rick Baker who would go on the do an American werewolf in London. But yeah, some of the violence was kinda fake looking too. Now it seemed every time they killed or hurt someone they just splattered them with gallons of fake fake blood. Not my kinda movie. You could really care less about anyone in the film and the main bad guy was really just plain insane.. Don't bother with this when there's so many better movies to see. Sorry i did... Was this some kinda cult favorite i hope not...

Movie flowed smoothly along and held your attention to the screen. Action at a high level, characters interesting enough, a basic kind of story you can relate to (Get away! Get the mess over with, get the money). There is one fully degenerate character and another partly-degenerate character. A girl/hostage is along for the ride (not a very impressive actress). Outdoor scenery is a plus. And you meet this hippie cat who lives out in the middle of nowhere in a tapestry cocoon w/ 2 spaced-out hippie chicks. He's a pretty cool cat. There's enough shooting in this film to keep you happy.

Alex: "Look man, I'm uptight and wasted. Your messing around with that broad nearly drove us off the road. Now leave her alone. We ain't got time for that s***." Ray: "Is that all you have to say?" Alex: "I said keep your hands off her!" Ray: "Don't ever put your hands on me again. Look man, I was just trying to relax. I'll keep my hands off the young virgin. Now if she comes on to me, that's another story". How could you not like this movie? Plenty of bad acting, poor production values, cheesy dialog, cheap violence, ridiculous music, etc... So what if the last half of the movie sucks, the first half is worth the price of admission. This is right up there with Going Bezerk and Cheech & Chong's Next Movie.

Alex (Bill Osco) and Ray (Jason Williams) are two drug transporters making their way across the desert with their product on their way to meet a buyer. Along the way they kill cops, people, high jack cars and take Karen (Diane Keller) as hostage. The film is pure 70's cult action. Hippies, telephone booths, and 33.9 gas. The soundtrack is dorky too. The film is not for serious viewers, but 70's Drive-In cult fans. Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Diane Keller, Donna Stubbert, Judy Ross- only movie credit for all three actresses, not a career builder)

"Cop Killers" has what is maybe the worst acting I've seen in a movie, seriously. And I've seen my share of low-budget crap. This one takes the cake. It's so bad that it's good though! The scene with the ice cream man is the best. I was rolling on the floor. I was impressed with the violence in this film, it's definitely not for the faint hearted. However, it's no "Cannibal Holocaust." It's not disturbing, it's more funny than it is upsetting. I'd recommend "Cop Killers" to a few guys who wanna see some violence while consuming several cheap beers. Worth every penny. 5 out of 10, kids.

This is a movie that simply cannot be rated based on a regular movie scale. This movie gets an 8/10 based on the "bad exploitation scale." If I were rating this as a normal movie, it would probably get a 3 or 4 out of ten. However, it get rated solely based on entertainment, nothing more and nothing less. That said, I was very entertained by Cop Killers. I found it used at the local record store and it looked like a good exploitation film so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. I laughed at the actors the whole way through because there wasn't a single good actor in the entire film. Horrible sound and editing and cutting also make it very unintentionally hilarious. This movie proves that anyone can make a movie. you just have to make it happen yourself. Check this one out if you're an exploitation fan and you should have fun. Don't expect anything amazing.
