comment
The final movie in the Maniac Cop trilogy, released in 1993.Cordell is resurrected from the dead by a voodoo priest who wants him to work for him. But Cordell has other plans, as he learns about a certain female officer Sullivan who was framed for a crime that she didn't commit. Seeing a kindred spirit in her, Cordell starts killing everyone involved with the case, from the real perpetrator of the crime to the doctors who plan to cut the life-feed from her now-comatose body. After he is done, Cordell wants to make Sullivan his bride. Meanwhile, McKinney tries to put end to the mayhem.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Cordell ties the guy who ordered the plugs to be pulled off from the comatose Officer Sullivan to the X-Ray machine, and leaves him to die from the overdose of its rays.

Bittersweet Ending: McKinney is able to clear Sullivan's name which in turn makes her find peace in death and saves her from suffering the same fate as Cordell. He also seemly kills Cordell all the while getting together with Dr. Fowler. However Sullivan still died from her wounds and the last scene suggest that Cordell may be Not Quite Dead.

comment
Clear Their Name: Throughout most of the film, Sullivan is framed to look like she just unjustly shot Jessup and the clerk working the pharmacy when that was not the case. After Cordell kills the cameramen who altered the footage, he hands over the real footage tape discreetly to McKinney who in turn is able to clear her name

Off with His Head!: Some poor schmuck's severed head is used by Houngan in a ritual to resurrect Cordell. As if that wasn't enough, he also stuffed a chicken down the guy's throat.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Officer Susan Riley from the previous movie doesn't appear in this movie nor is never brought up or mentioned at all by McKinney (Claudia Christian was busy with Babylon 5 and had a horrendous experience on the 2nd film, not informing the producers she was pregnant and miscarrying after performing the stunts required of her character by the script).

The Hero
 Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence / int_e49686
comment
The Hero: the original lead character of the movie was intended to be a NYPD Haitian detective who was an expert in investigating Voodoo crimes. However the potential financial backers absolutely hated the concept especially those in Japan. So Larry Cohen told them Robert Davi would be returning as Lt Mc Kinney (before actually asking Davi if he was interested in the project). Needless to say the money men had no problem whatsoever with an actor who was a former Bond villain (Licence to Kill) and had also appeared in The Goonies, Die Hard, Raw Deal and Predator 2 so they promptly stumped up funding.
