Policía de narcóticos

Two cops are trying to bust a drug ring that is shipping cocaine to the US inside of corpses. To make matters worse, our leads are always two steps behind a vigilante killer who is offing all of the bad guys with a shotgun (and the problem there is?). Mexico has produced a lot of exploitation cinema (Mexploitation?) but it is rare to find one that was dubbed into English like this one. This is a really enjoyable cop film with such an emphasis on bloody violence that it reminds me of the 70s Italian crime films. Hell, the idea of killing a kid and stuffing his corpse with bundles of cocaine is straight out of the Henry Silva sleaze-fest CRY OF A PROSTITUTE. Naturally, the Mexicans one up the Italians by having the kid's intestines fed to dogs. The only thing missing here is a car chase. Sure the opening credits highlight one, but I suspect it was from an earlier cop film starring lead Valentin Trujillo.

I have just watched this under it's UK Dubbed title of Occupational Killer which had some wonderful cover-art :) And that's about where the wonderful stops, if you think a 70s Italian crime drama, with a hint of bond and a dollop of the UK TV Series The Professionals you may be starting to get an idea of what to expect from this film.

It's really quite indescribable but I'll have a go at describing the plot.

When a child is kidnapped, gutted and stuffed with drugs terror is on the streets. The cops are out to get the drug lords, but a new vigilante is also on the loose taking out the evil doors before the police can get to them. Could it be someone on the inside of the force? everyone's a suspect! With plenty of shootouts, squib deaths and falling from high places this wont fail to disappoint fans of 'bad' police thrillers, complete with inappropriately funky musical score and opening titles.
