Synopsis: Angel Cop tells the heart-warming tale of a cop named Angel who fights terrorists in the far-flung, ultra-violent world of future where corrupt businessmen are conspiring with the Jew-controlled United States to dump nuclear waste all over the place and also there's cyborgs and people who inexplicably have psychic powers.
First Glance: Much in the same way that an infant can recognize its mother just based on her face, you too can recognize Angel Cop based solely on its over-the-top violence, laughable dub, and incomprehensible storyline.
Impression: Angle Cop is, in a word, bad. But it goes much deeper than that. This is not the bad that often crops up in Scifi Channel Oringinals, but rather the deep, lurking bad that hides in dark shadows and slithers out at night to feast upon the innocent and unaware, all the while seeking some host with which to manefest itself in thereby spreading its terrifying influence into the world at large.
I could speak volumes about the laughable dub which oftens substitutes random epithets for meaningful conversation [If this is justice, then I am a banana!; The doctor said this gun would break my arm if I used it. Oh well, here goes!; ect.], the liberal dosage of ultraviolence where even the least powerful guns are likely to cause impossible large fountains of blood to spray forth from gaping wounds and half-removed heads, the random use of four-letter words, the incomrehensible storyline that jumps from one basic story element to the next without any apparent cohesion, or even the impossible-to-root-for good guys, but let's talk about the reasons why you should watch Angel Cop. Oh wait...that's what I just did.
Conclusion: I love Angel Cop, it's so bad.
Score: LOL/ROFL
Specs: Six episodes from 1989. DVD and VHS releases are both out-of-print, but the VHS collection can be found for cheap on Amazon.
Acquisition Difficulty: Easy
