Fun action from porn veterans

My review was written in May 1990 after watching the film on Magnum video cassette.

The Dark Bros.' second mainstream effort after "Dead Man Walking" is a well-made but poor-taste sci-fi thriller starring Wings Hauser.

Producer Gernert and director Brown retain an element of sleaze from their "New Wave Hookers" days in this slightly futuristic tale of a police force gone mad.

Watergate alumnus G. Gordon Liddy plays a former police chief who's running for mayor on an extreme law and order platform.

Alex Cord is the new police chief who inveigles detective Wings Hauser to join up. When Hauer displays out-of-control behavior, pic delivers the sci-fi revelation that a control device in his back has unfettered violent impulses. It takes Playboy model Roberta Vasquez to get Hauser out of this mess.

In the unrated version (as a shorter R-rated cut also exists), sex scenes not involving the principals add little to the pic. Acting is overwrought, notably Cord's hammy bad guy and Sy Richardson's stereotyped soul brother. Vasquz surprisingly has no nude scenes but proves to be a convincing action performer.
