Who directed Maniac Cop 2?
Maniac Cop 2 was directed by William Lustig, who also directed the original Maniac Cop in 1988. Larry Cohen, who created the franchise, wrote the screenplay for the sequel and remained involved as a producer.
Do I need to watch the first Maniac Cop before Maniac Cop 2?
It helps to have seen the original to understand Matt Cordell's backstory as a wrongly imprisoned police officer murdered in prison who returns from the dead seeking vengeance. However, Maniac Cop 2 provides enough exposition about Cordell's origins that new viewers can follow the story without it.

Yes, Robert Z'Dar returns as Officer Matt Cordell, the undead police officer whose distinctive jaw and towering physique made him an iconic horror figure. Z'Dar would also appear in Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence, released in 1993, completing the trilogy.
What new characters are introduced in Maniac Cop 2?
The sequel adds characters played by Claudia Christian, who later became well known for her role in the science fiction series Babylon 5, and Michael Lerner. The film also features Robert Davi, expanding the cast beyond the original film's roster.
