646f9e108c A detective tries to get back a child who has been kidnapped by gangsters. Hollywood Cop is the first of five American movies made by Iranian director Amir Shervan in the late 1980s and early 1990s. All of them are very cheap and unconvincing action thrillers that have gained something of a cult reputation thanks to their wooden acting, famous appearances, and general air of cheesiness that makes them entertaining viewing.<br/><br/>This film is slightly underwhelming but contains elements of Shervan&#39;s later cult hits like SAMURAI COP. It&#39;s a bit tame and low rent compared to the director&#39;s other &quot;hits&quot;. A renegade cop under the unlikely name of Turkey goes after a gang of kidnappers who have taken a little blond haired boy. The kidnappers are led by Jim Mitchum, who is really slumming it by appearing in this.<br/><br/>Cameron Mitchell plays in supporta hard-nosed cop superior. The movie features episodic action scenes and Shervan&#39;s favoured shoot-outs in which the pistols sound like hand cannons. There&#39;s a rape scene in a hotel room and a lot of chasing around. The acting iswoodenyou&#39;d expect and David Goss&#39;s lead character is a hoot. Aldo Ray and Troy Donahue also have small cameos. One sex scene utilises a wall mirror in the bedroom so you get double the amount of screen nudity - it&#39;s that type of exploitative approach. Hollywood Cop (1987) Review: Well this is just a bad movie with many reasons. In one of the first scenes where we get to see the boss. Um it seems like he just reads(says) his lines instead of reacting what the other actors says. On the kidnap ransom letter it says where to go, but there is not a certain time set which makes no sense at all. The criminals in the movie doesn&#39;t even watch the kid they kidnap. Where he can easily escape and Hollywood Cop can just come in and get the kid. Smart huh? The fighting scenes in the movie is like what in the world is this? There are times where there is bad audio editing where you can hear them speak, but their lips are not moving at the time. There is also terrible acting I could not even like any of the characters cause of it. The only funny part is the character Animal where he just laughs randomly during scenes.<br/><br/>Well this is what I went by on rating: 1 Good or bad sound editing. It was Bad time of where you can hear them speak, but no lips moving at same time. 2 Good or bad special effects. There were times it could been better. 3 Good or bad acting. Very Bad acting. 4 Able to see studio equipment (like Boom mics and so forth) Didn&#39;t notice any on this. 5 Good or bad Video editing. Seems OK. 6 Good or bad script. The script writing was boring and easily guessed on what was about to happen.
