What happens

Maniac Cop 2 is a 1990 American slasher film directed by William Lustig and written by Larry Cohen. It is a sequel to Maniac Cop (1988) and is the second installment in the Maniac Cop film series. It stars Robert Davi, Claudia Christian, Michael Lerner, and Bruce Campbell, with Robert Z'Dar returning as Matthew Cordell, an undead police officer-turned-serial killer following his own murder.
