Soli contro il crimine

I have to agree with a lot of the comments on this film. To have good character actors such as Robert Hays (Airplane movies), Charles Napier (Rambo II), David Keith (Officer & Gentleman, U-571), and Stacy Keach (too many to list); you would expect better acting. But maybe they were actually making fun on this genre of a movie. The music for some of the scenes was actually comical. The plot of the movie is basic and definitely predictable. The sound effects doesn't always match the scene. Several times you hear the cocking of the hammer of a revolver but you see the gun is not even cocked. And speaking of the revolvers, where did they get those antiques? The main bad guy is the only one who is even using a semi-auto pistol and he can't even hit the side of a barn except in one scene; two shots, two dead. But despite all of the errors and predictability, I actually somewhat enjoyed watching this flick. And of course you had Pamela Anderson for eye candy. This film is from 1995 so she actually looks great (ala Baywatch) and not as she looks today.

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.

I love this film, i dare you to watch it and not laugh at the series of lame gags and poorly co-ordinated action scenes. I didn't think it was possible but this film manages to be both nonsensical and predictable at the same time. Around about this time Pamela Anderson must have been one of the most famous TV actresses around, but as you can see from this, her Film career never really took of, and to be fair her performance here is fairly terrible. The lead character of Mace is your typical loose-cannon angry ex-cop who despises "bleeding-heart judges" and does things his own renegade way. The character of Mitch is a man wanted for murder and completes the intrepid threesome who are the focus of the film, and for some reason our heroes have to run from the baddies chasing them through New Orleans. I have given this film a ranking of nine out of ten because I have watched it three times now and have enjoyed it thoroughly every time. Although in all honesty its not a great film, or even a good film, its by the numbers approach to presenting a cops and robbers action movie complete with lots of unnecessary sex and violence is just fun. I would recommend this film if you want a good laugh at a film that shouldn't really be taken seriously, especially if you find the "McBain" scenes from the Simpsons funny as this film could easily be a Ranier Wolfcastle production.

After 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.

Once you have witnessed the scene where Pamela (as a hooker??? how cheesy is that... at least the director knows why we are watching this crap...) gets the job done, you have no more reason to keep watching this atrocity... I put a 3/10 but for a girl or anyone who thinks Pam is ugly, this movie is not even worth that...
