Hollywood Cop

There is no doubt that Amir watched Lethal Weapon and it spawned genius. Hollywood Cop has it's great moments. The scene where the "Arab Man" somehow SLITS the dude's head off made me choke with delight. Especially the comment he makes about "His Laws". There are some decent TnA shots, which is always a plus. The speech that the dead beat dad gives his son is pretty good too. Sadly the gang members are not that ruthless, the kid talks too much, and lets face it: The acting is just TOO GOOD. If you really want a great laugh, watch Samurai Cop (The funniest of Amir's Holy Trinity). It has just about everything better than Hollywood Cop.

Also, the car chase scene at the end is almost worthy of being in a good B movie. Almost.

Amir Shervan has made two instant 80s trash classic - SAMURAI COP and this one. There is so much funny stuff in here. Like when Hollywood COP Turk confronts a husband holding a rapist hostage and says, "Look, I know the guy just f**ked your wife..." In addition, there are some scary looking stunts like when a guy falls off a roof onto a bail of hay and when another guy falls out of a car and almost gets run over by the tire. There is also one of the funniest dialog scenes ever when the father goes to rescue his son. He son, who is being held hostage, doesn't want to leave because dad didn't show up for Christmas. The father deftly explains that he left the kid and his mom all away by saying he had blood poisoning and is dying (in the scene previous to this he was caught cavorting with topless hussies). Classic!

Haha .. All i know about this movie is that its theme song was performed by Andy Madadian the very very famous Persian singer over 18 years ago now!! ANDY IS STILL GOING!! and is doing better than ever! I've just seen him live at an open air concert in Frankfurt last week on the night following the Team Melli Iran Vs Portugal Match. He was truly amazing!!! I've never seen the film though lol! oh well...Although we lost the match the atmosphere in Frankfurt was truly amazing and was one of the best experiences of my life.The film was made the year i was born so i guess its gonna be pretty hard to get hold of now, i think i shall try though as it would be interesting to see the movie. Andy has featured in a number of other Hollywood films following the release of this movie. check out his site if you like: Andymusic.com.

This is definitely the best movie ever made. This movie has really everything to be a classic. A cheap c actor, porn-movie sound, a story line that even my 5 year old niece would be very ashamed if she made that story. It's really so bad, that it's at the same time so funny. You will really enjoy this. This is entertainment!!!

As far as schlocky low budget action thrillers go this one isn't all that bad. The acting and dialogue is what makes it so goofy, I mean you got Cameron Mitchell complaining about tums in one scene for christ sake. The other problem is the pacing, there's scenes where our hero and his partner are just screwing around that seem to go on forever, but, as a first time effort for Amir Shervan this isn't ineptly made like you would figure it to be, goofy and schlocky yes, bad no.
