Good Cop Bad Cop is one of a handful of 90's films that were promoted around the sex appeal of the world's number one pinup of the time, Pamela Anderson. Like all of the other flicks, Anderson once again is the best thing about this one. Truthfully, her role here is not much more than an excuse for her to strip off for a couple of soft-core sex scenes. I guess, strictly speaking, many people will think this this isn't enough of a reason for the film to exist and fair enough. But to be honest, I find Pammy very attractive and always get a kick out of watching her in sexy roles. And this film is no different. Aside from Anderson, we have a really quite stupid plot-line that I can't in all honesty be bothered summarising. The lead actor is David Keith who I thought was really terrible quite honestly. He looked like he had been dragged through a hedge and his character was unbelievably unsympathetic. Amazingly, he is the 'good cop' of the title, yet his heavy handed tactics like smashing up a bondsman's office with a baseball bat, punching innocent people out and treating Anderson's character with a fair degree of misogyny means that I couldn't help but think that the film should really have been called 'Bad Cop, Marginally Better Cop'. The cast is rounded off with three other B-Movie regulars, Charles 'Supervixens' Napier, Robert 'Airplane!' Hays and Stacy 'Longriders' Keach; all of whom do what is needed and no more, yet all are preferable to David Keith.The film is an action thriller, yet it definitely plays things for comedy value quite a bit so it's fairly light-hearted mostly. If it wasn't blessed with a couple of hot Pamela Anderson erotic scenes, I am guessing I would have marked this one down a notch or two but she saves it from irrelevance and gives it its lasting interest value. It's overall a bit of dumb fun though.
... View MoreAfter dropping a date off at her house, "Mitch McCullum" (Robert Hays) goes back to his apartment, eats a bowl of Fruitloops and then goes to bed. Not long afterward the police bust into his house and arrest him for the murder of that same young woman who went by the name of "Donna Styles" (April Bogenschutz). As it turns out April was the daughter of a man named "David Styles" (Charles Napier) who just happens to be the mayor of New Orleans. So when an anonymous person posts bail for Mitch the mayor asks a bounty hunter named "Mace" (David Keith) to keep an eye on Mitch to make sure he doesn't try to flee the area. What neither the mayor, Mace nor Mitch realize is that April was deliberately targeted and the person responsible for her death has an agenda that threatens all three of them. Additionally, when a prostitute by the name of "Sarah" (Pamela Anderson) becomes accidentally associated with both Mitch and Mace she is also targeted as well. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that I found this movie to be unoriginal, uninspired and quite clichéd. No doubt those who enjoy chase scenes and pyrotechnics will love it but I thought it would have been nice if the director (David A. Pryor) had mixed in a semi-decent plot or a better script to go with all of the action. Unfortunately, this was not the case and the film suffered as a result. Accordingly, I rate this movie as below average.
... View MoreOne of the worst movies i ever watched. Probably the worst. A movie just made for two scenes (minute 39 and 58). Lets see if there is any positive to say about this movie. No I can't think of any. Pam just destroyed my ideology of good acting. Who was stupid enough to produce this?
... View Moreif you want to see great acting. This is the sort of movie which has an obvious appeal to some. It's not the quality of acting. But if you watched this movie to see fine Shakespearean actors giving their all, then I have no pity for you. The movie is fun on a few levels, but should in no way be taken seriously.
