merklekranz Pairing up sexist cop, Michael Parks, with lesbian partner, Denise Crosby, produces stereotypical results, in this buddy cop movie. Parks enormous ego often gets in the way of logical police work. The psycho cop killer is so obvious from the git-go, that there is zero suspense. In addition to the requisite car chases and explosions, there are sexual innuendos flying all over the place, after Parks fails to seduce his new gay partner. There is just enough sexist dialog to keep the pathetically weak story mildly interesting. I cannot recommend sitting through this, except perhaps for dire fans of Michael Parks................ - MERK

vivalden This flick has some quirky twists, with a plot of police chasing a murderer. It stars Michael Parks of 'Then Came Bronson' from 1969 TV. Denise Crosby delivers a good performance. She went on to star as Lt. Yarr on the inaugural season of Star Trek: the Next Generation. Good supporting actors, some were very quirky and some were just creepy. Hugh Farrington plays a police captain as he did on TV's TJ Hooker (starring William Shatner). Crosby plays a lesbian, not new, but in 1988, that was not a common topic. She is partnered with Parks and his character, of course, tries to hit on the lesbian. The result is thought provoking. This is a very watchable film. Be sure to sit still for the opening, it is pretty funny. It is a 'B' movie that never went to the theater but is certainly a good video pick for a group of friends.

johnt55-1 When you consider when this film was made, it may have been ahead of it's time. Michael Parks seems to get better and better. Nice ending.I think some of the chase scenes in the desert were damn good. As good as some I've seen made since then with CGI and all that stuff to help.True, the plot seems dated now, but it's still worth seeing. Denise Crosby actually acts in this one! And not too bad either.Plus there's some awfully FUNNY lines too.The music is done by the same guy who been doing music for Penn and Teller over the years.It's worth a rental...if you can find it.

jlsanchez01 I bet that, back in the 1980's, the makers of this film thought that pairing a veteran sexist cop (Michael Parks) with a young lesbian partner (Denise Crosby) and turning them loose in Phoenix, Arizona, to catch a cop killer was an original idea. Problem is, all the rest is so unoriginal that you can constantly foresee the nest scene. In addition, Parks makes his character awfully irritating from the very beginning. Only near the end he starts to show his softer side, but by then it is too late, since you are already wishing that he gets killed. Crosby, on the contrary, gives one of the few OK performances in her career (I wonder if that is the reason why she has played so many cops and lesbians ever since), though she is constantly harassed by Parks, who even tries to rape her when she finds out that he has slept with her girlfriend. In spite of this, she can´t help falling in love with him (!!!). Frankly, though the idea of a woman like Denise Crosby (when she was still young and beautiful) being a lesbian seems like a terrible waste to me, I think this is just a piece of misogynist trash about how a though, independent homosexual woman is tamed and brought back to heterosexuality by a sexist moron. Add to this a lame direction work, totally unexciting (and few) action sequences and the fact that anyone can tell very soon who the bad guy is. What you get is just another boring ultra-low-budget thriller not worth the 85 minutes you need to watch it.
