COP KILLERS is a typical on-the-run slice of 1970s exploitation featuring a couple of druggies who are chased through the American desert and blow away a number of cops during the pursuit. They take a young woman hostage and the film becomes a hostage thriller along the lines of RABID DOGS but without anywhere near the same kind of tension and suspense. Mostly, this is a cheap and sleazy production that wallows in excess. It has some nasty bursts of bloodshed here and there, with convincing effects contributed by a pre-stardom FX artist Rick Baker. The characters are all unpleasant and the story hackneyed from the beginning to the expectedly nihilistic outcome.

This is a movie that simply cannot be rated based on a regular movie scale. This movie gets an 8/10 based on the "bad exploitation scale." If I were rating this as a normal movie, it would probably get a 3 or 4 out of ten. However, it get rated solely based on entertainment, nothing more and nothing less.That said, I was very entertained by Cop Killers. I found it used at the local record store and it looked like a good exploitation film so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did.I laughed at the actors the whole way through because there wasn't a single good actor in the entire film. Horrible sound and editing and cutting also make it very unintentionally hilarious. This movie proves that anyone can make a movie. you just have to make it happen yourself.Check this one out if you're an exploitation fan and you should have fun. Don't expect anything amazing.

"Cop Killers" has what is maybe the worst acting I've seen in a movie, seriously. And I've seen my share of low-budget crap. This one takes the cake. It's so bad that it's good though! The scene with the ice cream man is the best. I was rolling on the floor.I was impressed with the violence in this film, it's definitely not for the faint hearted. However, it's no "Cannibal Holocaust." It's not disturbing, it's more funny than it is upsetting.I'd recommend "Cop Killers" to a few guys who wanna see some violence while consuming several cheap beers. Worth every penny.5 out of 10, kids.

Alex: "Look man, I'm uptight and wasted. Your messing around with that broad nearly drove us off the road. Now leave her alone. We ain't got time for that s***." Ray: "Is that all you have to say?" Alex: "I said keep your hands off her!" Ray: "Don't ever put your hands on me again. Look man, I was just trying to relax. I'll keep my hands off the young virgin. Now if she comes on to me, that's another story".How could you not like this movie? Plenty of bad acting, poor production values, cheesy dialog, cheap violence, ridiculous music, etc... So what if the last half of the movie sucks, the first half is worth the price of admission. This is right up there with Going Bezerk and Cheech & Chong's Next Movie.
