Bruce Campbell has brought many a character alive for us horror fans and other than ASH from the Evil Dead films you would be hard pressed to find a better character then that of Jack Forrest the young cop from the classic Maniac Cop.

Synapse Film is releasing a Special Editon DVD that is just chock full of great special features.  Read on for all the details on a disc you just know you’re going to have to get.

You have the right to remain silent… forever!  After years off the streets, horror’s toughest law enforcer is back on DVD, tougher and stronger than ever before in a brand new special edition DVD.  Restored and re-mastered from original vault materials, Synapse Films’ Maniac Cop DVD will blow you away with an all-new high-definition transfer and DTS surround sound!  Bruce (The Evil Dead Trilogy) Campbell and Tom (Lethal Weapon) Atkins star in this action-packed cult classic!  
 
Innocent people are brutally killed on the streets of New York by a uniformed police officer.  A young cop, Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell), finds himself marked as the chief suspect after his wife is murdered.  As Lieutenant Frank McCrae (Tom Atkins) investigates these mysterious killings, the death toll rises and he suspects a mysterious police cover-up.  This “maniac” cop must be stopped, but it might not be so easy!  He isn’t an ordinary man.  He’s inhuman… driven by supernatural forces… and ready to take on the entire police force, hell-bent on revenge!
 
Laurene Landon (I, THE JURY), Richard Roundtree (SHAFT, SE7EN), William Smith (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, RED DAWN), Robert Z’Dar (TANGO & CASH) and SPIDER-MAN director Sam Raimi also star in this action-horror favorite from the director of MANIAC and the writer of PHONE BOOTH and CELLULAR!
