Out of all the "Maniac Cop" series, this one was a letdown. However, out of due respect, I've always liked the character no matter what. This time, he tends to a policewoman who was gunned down during a stand-off. And Matt Cordell(Robert D'Zar) is enforced to "protect and serve". Since none of the other officers would help her, Det. Sean Kenny(Robert Davi) and Cordell are on the same page. Cordell takes on the usual trash crooked cops to be exact. I liked the part where he puts on guy under several exposures of X-rays. Then there's the scene where Kenny tells Cordell that she's been cleared of all wrongdoing. Somehow, underneath his hulking and ravaged exterior belies a interior that's anything but supernatural, it's human. Both went with the explosion, and covered in white. To me, it goes to show that love never dies, especially when Cordell touches the dead woman's hand from the sheets. I mean good grief, let her be. This version got a little sappy, yet will he continue the fight against crime, or will he settle down? This one got me baffled! 2 out of 5 stars!
With Maniac Cop 2, director William Lustig and screenwriter Larry Cohen imagined a mixture of bloody slasher and crime thriller The French Connection, and delivered just about the most satisfying sequel imaginable to an original that was hardly great. It delivered on car chases, action set-pieces and slasher mayhem, backed with a witty, sharp script and an impressive cast. It also delivered a full-body- burn climax that was as exciting as it was technically impressive. While part two looked at William Friedkin's classic thriller for inspiration, just where Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence found inspiration is anyone's guess, other than perhaps the sort of drivel you used to find buried on the bottom shelf of the video store. Lustig and Cohen have both disowned the movie since its release, and it isn't difficult to see why.
Citing studio interference, Lustig walked from the set half-way through filming for the movie to be picked up by inexperienced producer Joel Soisson, who is uncredited. The resulting film is less than a half-baked idea: a lumbering mess of a film, primarily made up of filler that is, at times, downright unwatchable. Having clear Matt Cordell's name and buried him with honours in tact, Detective Sean McKinney (Robert Davi) had hoped to have seen the last of the 'Maniac Cop'. His close father-daughter-like relationship with young police officer Katie Sullivan (Gretchen Becker) is ground to a halt when she is gunned down and placed into a coma by junkie Frank (Jackie Earle Haley), only for two 'nightcrawler' cameramen to smear her name with some edited footage. After being resurrected by a Voodoo priest, Cordell sees Sullivan as an equally tortured and unfairly disgraced soul, and sets about claiming her for his own.
It's hard to know where to start with Maniac Cop 3, as the film is so lacking in ideas and structure that it barely has a beginning, middle and end. When it hits a wall, it looks to its predecessor for ideas. So we are treated to another convenience store shootout, another high speed chase, and another finale involving a full body burn. In its defence, the climax mixes both a high speed chase and a full body burn, and while it goes on for a little too long, you have to appreciate the complexity of such an intricate set-piece. Cordell, again played by Robert Z'Dar, is relegated to little more than a glorified cameo in his own movie, appearing ever now and then to carry out a bloody deed seemingly for Voodoo priest Houngan (Julius Harris), whose motives are still unclear when the credits roll. As a fan of the first two Maniac Cop movies, it's easy to feel as cheated as Lustig did as he stormed off set.

Maniac Cop 3 is another great sequel to the 1988 Cult Classic original, part 2 was great but i enjoy part 3 more but the first film is the best of this excellent underrated Horror Trilogy. I just really think these flicks are so much fun.
The excellent Robert Davi is back in the lead role as tough Detective Sean mckinney (from Maniac Cop 2) who is again on the hunt for a newly resurrected zombie Maniac Cop, there's a nice night time voodoo atmosphere & this time the Maniac Cop "Cordell" is definitely a zombie & is out to murder once again, the Maniac Cop is very much like "Jason Voorhees" here as he's a big hulking silent,super-strong killer & is almost unstoppable.
Robert z'darr plays the matt Cordell aka the Maniac Cop & he's still the same in his movements & presence but more zombie looking this time.
Our Hero of this slick looking 90's Slasher-Thriller is of course the excellent rugged Robert Davi who is perfectly cast in the role of the no-nonsense,tough & gritty Detective sean Mckinney, Davi plays Mckinney serious & moody & like the equally excellent Tom Atkins in the first Maniac Cop, hes the best character & performance in the whole movie!!!
Davi has a cool presence about him, he looks rugged & comes accross like a Detective from an old pulp novel or even a bounty hunter, Davi is a class actor who appeared mostly in straight to video low-rent Thriller's during the 90's but he was always great to watch even if the B-movie isn't that good, Davi always gave a good memorable perfperformance & that's why he's one of my favourite actors along with Atkins, they both have that screen quality where you look forward to seeing them in anything. Davi is a true retro action star of the DTV B-movie era & has given us plenty of low-budget gems to uncover!!! Davi is great in The Bad Pack, The Zone, Night Trap, Center of the Web, Peacemaker & many more, go check out his awesome filmography.
Maniac Cop 3 is pure early 90s in it's look & tone, it feels like a 90s Dark Thriller with slasher elements here & there but it feels more like a Cop film or a Detective Thriller & that's fine, there is a darkness to this movie in it's style & visual look & a great new setting within a hospital abit like "Michael Myers" stalking the hospital in "Halloween 2" & it works well here as we've watched the Maniac Cop stalk the dark city streets in the other films so this is a nice new setting & feels fresh.
There's a little side story mixed in about a good lady cop who becomes abit of a bride of Frankenstein in a way to the Maniac Cop, its a fun little fantasy bit even if it's abit silly really it doesn't hurt the movie as it's so entertaining with a fantastic shootout scene in the hospital with "mckinney" taking on some street thugs in a hospital corridor, it's truly an Awesome action scene & there's another great bit where "mckinney" discovers a secret underground tunnel leading from the hospital to an old church where the Maniac Cop hides out along with the zoodoo witch doctor guy who brought him back to life, the look is lovely with candles all over the old church it's a great peice of production design in it's almost cosy look.
There's also the spectacular end car Chase sequence, it's Amazing.
Maniac Cop 3 is a thrilling sequel with a great rare lead role for Davi & some excellent action scenes & some real gory death scenes, it's great late night entertainment in it's old school 90s vhs Slasher Thriller feel.

Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence (1993) is very underrated and it might be the worst one in the series but is my second favorite Action horror flick from the 90's and I still love it. I even more love it than I like the second film. I know that this film is different from the first film that started all and I still think the director and cast crew did a great job in this final installment of Maniac Cop franchise. Claudia Christian,Michael Lerner,Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon,Clarence Williams III,Leo Rossi,Lou Bonacki,Paula Trickey and Charles Napier none of those actors from the second film come back for the third ride but I think new cast and new plot did a great job. I Love this film because it is an Action Horror flick from the 90's and the film is also dark not as dark as Maniac Cop 1 & 2 but still dark. Like I mentioned I love Action horror flicks and this one did delivered because it had some great action sequences and shootings that I did liked and I thought it was much better film than Maniac Cop 2 because Robert Davi's character Det. Sean McKinney had something to do than he did in the second film because wounded one criminal and through the rest of the film he didn't do anything except talking here he at least did something.
The end of the film when Matt Cordell was in flame again and he died caring his bride Kate and Sean didn't do anything I was mad because I thought the film ended without Matt burning to death again and that's it? No action sequences nothing? I was really surprised by the ending and that finally Sean did fought Matt and he defeat him that's what I love in this film. The chase sequences burning police car chasing an ambulance was an fantastic scene.. I am glad Joel Soisson took over the direction when the original series director William Lustig just left the film project and refused to shoot the additional scenes the producers wanted and quit the project.
Maniac Cop III: Badge of Silence is a 1993 action horror film written by Larry Cohen and directed by William Lustig, and an uncredited Joel Soisson. It is the sequel to 1990's Maniac Cop 2, and the final installment in the Maniac Cop series, which began in 1988.
A female cop is gunned down and wrongly accused of using excessive force in a hostage rescue attempt. Maniac cop returns from the dead once more to seek revenge, destroying everything and anyone that stands in his way. A voodoo priest resurrect Matt Cordell from dead once again to get revenge on the people for framing fellow officer Katie Sullivan in hostage rescue attempt.
Robert Davi as Det. Sean McKinney did a terrific job as the main hero. The shooting scene in the Hospital was one of his best scenes in the film. He shoot three guys with two guns which was awesome including Jackie Earle Haley as the killer. He fought with Matt Cordell and he finally killed him on the end. Caitlin Dulany as Dr. Susan Fowler was awesome as Doctor in the hospital she did a great job. Gretchen Becker as Officer Katie Sullivan was amazingly fantastic, she shoot with automatic riffle Daisy Softair Model 15 MP-5K in the store on the robber Jessup this Action sequence was fantastic. Killing an insider the store clerk was Jessup's accomplice when she fired on Katie and Katie shooting her in the head was awesome, I love this scene.Jackie Earle Haley as Frank Jessup did a good terrific job as the villain in this film and Julius Harris also did a good job as a voodoo priest. Robert Z'Dar as Matt Cordell did a good job performing his character not that good as he did in the first two films but I still like his performance in here.
I love this Action Horror flick and I really miss Action Horror films form the 90's. Yes Maniac Cop 3 wasn't the best or that good like were it's predecessors but it was still a good film for it's third ride. They aren't any good Action Horror films today, it is so sad, I want to see movies like are this one today in 2015, but I want. I also love the main theme from Joel Goldsmith better than I did in the second film.

In New York city , Policewoman is gunned down, staying in coma , and being accused of use excessive force by the nasty delinquents . Then the grossly disfigured police Robert D'Zar returning from his grave to wreak futher vendetta yet again, as he emerges to exact gory revenge as the good guys attempt to get rid of him once and for all . As the huge maniac cop goes on his vengeance, why never matters .
Run-of-the mill and routine sequel with usual elements as noisy action , thrills , chills , car pursuits , shootouts , grisly violence , high body-count and lots of blood and gore. As it is, despite abundant action and involving a fistful of murders , the overall effects is sluggish . A medium-budget slasher/thriller that too often saga, but it has more action than the previous entries , outstanding the final scenes when our starring Robert Davi and a nurse are mercilessly chased by the psycho killer , maniac cop throughtout the railway . Blood and guts fly as any plot shortcomings are intelligently masked by an array of lethal , sadistic and violent deaths . This is third of the William Lusting's Maniac cop trilogy about the cop goes beyond the realm of sanity and turns vigilante, being formed by the following ones : "Maniac Cop" 1988 with Tom Atkins , Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon , Richard Roundtree , William Smith , Shree North , Sam Raimi. "Maniac Cop II" with Robert Davi, Claudia Christian , Michael Lerner , Bruce Campbell , Clarence Williams III, Leo Rossi, James Dixon . An this "Maniac Cop III Badge of Silence" with Robert Davi , Paul Gleason , Doug Savant , Jackie Earle Haley , Robert Forster and of course Robert D'Zar as the zombiefied cop Matt Cordell . All of them were written by Larry Cohen and middlingly but professionally made.
The picture was regularly directed by William Lusting , who here used the frequent pseudonym Alan Smithee , giving a passable filck in which interpretations , occasional bizarre details and camerawork are solid enough , but both cutting and filmmaking are flabby and formulary. This craftsman filmmaker has made various films with plenty of violence , action and terror , such as : "Uncle Sam" , "Relentless" , "The Hit list" , "Vigilante" and "Maniac" . Rating : 5/10 . Average but passable and acceptable .

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe film had a troubled production. When director William Lustig's rough cut came in at only 51 minutes, he refused to shoot the additional scenes the producers as well as the film's distributor, Overseas FilmGroup, wanted and quit the project. The balance of the picture was directed by co-producer Joel Soisson. Prior to Blue Underground's DVD and Blu-ray release of the movie in 2013, Lustig was the film's credited director, but the Blue Underground version is credited to the Director's Guild of America pseudonym Alan Smithee.
- GaffesSeveral recognizable landmarks in Los Angeles can be spotted in the film, despite that it's supposed to take place in New York City.
