Hundra (1983)
Jun 1, 2000Amazonian Warrior

America 3000 (1986)
Oct 8, 2005Gonzo Post-Holocaust Film

It’s Alive III: Island of the Alive (1987)
Feb 22, 2005Killer Mutant Babies
The third of Larry Cohen's killer mutant baby films that began with the cult It's Alive. Cohen's humour is again present but the film feels like a hodgepodge of ideas left over from the other films
Maniac Cop (1988)
Feb 2, 2001Disfigured Psycho Cop
The first in a series of films starring Robert Z’dar as an hulking, deformed ex-cop seeking revenge. Not as effective as the sequels but is lifted above the routine by a quirky Larry Cohen script
Maniac Cop II (1990)
Aug 30, 2001Disfigured Psycho Cop
Standout sequel to Maniac Cop, the best of the series, where Larry Cohen turns in a remarkable script and William Lustig delivers incredible action sequences
Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014)

King Cohen (2017)
Jan 3, 2023Genre Director Documentary
