Omega Cop

So yeah this is an ultra b martial arts rip off of Omega Man.

Yep that is pretty much all you need to know.

However all these rage reviews compel me to prove them wrong.

This is a low budget action movie martial arts sub genre with an average scifi back story.

As for implausible what the heck is going on it is close to the one were Denzel is blind and carrying the bible on ipod.

If you don't get how ridiculous that is feel free to let yourself out.

This movie has a few odd plot holes to keep action going.

And maybe the just forgot and kept rolling.. The fights are pretty good both gun and karate.

There is an unfinished human traf/ slave labor plot.

I think this was on one of the low end cable channels because it is unrated and well below R some blood mild language no nudity.

Now you know watch it if you like these cheap actioners .

Or go watch something completely different no need to complain about something doing its job.

Marchini might be a decent karate guy, but he's about the least convincing action hero there is. Maybe its the goofy sweatshirt, the grey hair, the tucked in shirt, the hat, or the dead line delivery, or maybe it's just the fact that this is a low budget and bland movie, but you're not going to get much out of this one other than a few laughs at all the groin kicks. The female characters were lame and the villains were worse. But at least there were lots of groin kicks!

In yet another post-apocalyptic future, a cop works to bust up a band of slave traders and save a few women along the way.

In all honesty, Omega Cop probably deserves a 1/10, but it's saved from that rating because it was so stupid in parts I was mildly entertainined on occasion. So what very little entertainment I got out of this thing was purely unintended. Star Ronald Marchini may have been a martial arts expert, but it didn't translate well to the screen. He's too wooden and unnatural. The rest of the movie is filled with equally poor acting, poor special effects, poor fight choreography, and poor everything else. And I'm convinced that Adam West had no idea what movie he was making. His character is so out of touch with the action in the rest of the film, it was often laugh-out-loud funny. Finally, I sort of felt sorry for Stuart Whitman. He made some bad career decisions, but this might have been the worst. Did he need a job this bad?

The makers of Omega Cop didn't try real hard on the whole post-apocalyptic thing. People with dirty faces, weird haircuts, and trash blowing across an empty parking lot was hardly convincing and just plain lazy.

2/10

One of the best B-movies made. Great filming location Stockton,CA. I just love the feel that you get from it when the movie first starts. As soon as you see the desert and here that whistling wind your hooked. You can tell that the budget was limited, but they pulled it off great. There is 3 great looking women, they don't have has much of a role as John Travis. But what can you say John Travis is bad, he can just about do it all. Oh yea Adam West is in it too (Batman). He doesn't have much of a role but he's there through the whole movie. But anyway if you get a chance definitely check this flick out, if your a B-movie enthusiast.

Being a trash film fan , i liked this one especially for the absurdity of plot and for the absence of any visual confirmation to the story as told. Some nice girls lift up the movie , see the B-Movie review for more. It's a pity that the actor is able to fight ....
