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?

9.5/10. A darn good movie dreamed up by Larry Cohen. A well paced horror movie of the late 80's. Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon, Tom Atkins all do great. Robert Z'Dar's also great as Matt Cordell aka The Maniac Cop. I would say this is a great movie for any Friday/Saturday night movie viewing or marathon. If you're into Larry Cohen's movies then watch this one.
More mistakes in Maniac Cop
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.
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.
