Maniac Cop 2 German Big Box VHS Clamshell

Thanks to my buddy Ingo over at Hellford667 Movie Reviews for once again hooking me up with one of these German beauties.

Yes, I know I'm a little obsessed with this overlooked gem right now, but that's only because I was lucky enough to stumble upon the awesome Widescreen Laserdisc recently, which just simply ruled! 

On a side note, I'm finally coming out of my little hiatus and coming back to robotGEEK'S Cult Cinema. I had a lot of things going on in my personal life with some really big unwanted changes that took up every second of my life. But things have settled down and I'm back! So to all my readers I thank you for your patience and to every single one of you badass reviewers who I currently have on my "blog roll" and "badass sites" sections, I apologize for not having had any time for the better part of a month to read or comment on any of your posts and reviews. I have a lot of make-up reading to do! 

Badass Buy - Maniac Cop 2 Widescreen Edition Laserdisc

You read that title right. Maniac Cop 2. In Widescreen. On Laserdisc.

I never knew this insanely awesome piece of Badass Cinema was ever available in Widescreen as the VHS release as well as the rare and out of print bare bones DVD are both in a bastardly Full Frame aspect ratio. So imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this beauty only to find that it's in Widescreen! And I'm talking true Widescreen and not some Letterbox format. 

I just saw this a few nights ago and the transfer looks impressive, even for Laserdisc standards. Throw in the fact that it's in it's proper aspect ratio and the only way you can see it like this and I am one very happy man. Review coming up shortly.
