SUPER COPS (Universal):: In the old American custom of milking a gimmick we bring you Super Cops. Since Entertainmentland hasn’t gotten enough mileage out of the cop craze, they’re trying to squeeze out the last box office buck by presenting yet another slice of police life. Not the corrupt cop oh the take, like the early fuzz tone flicks, but phase two — the good guy. In the temporal tradition of Serpico, Busting and The Laughing Policeman, you have Super Cops. Based on the real life story of two rookies who “wrote their own rules” on how to turn the Gotham ghetto’s crime wave into a mere tremor — all on their off-duty hours. You know, just like Batman and Robin, as they were playfully dubbed.TOW! The dynamic duo posing as grease monkeys bust eight iunkies at Coney Island. CRASH! Those raucous rookies hurl themselves through plate glass pursuing two shady Cubans. GUFFAW! At the escapades of these comical copsters who bring back a little of the laughs you’ve missed since Car 54, Where Are You? went off the tube.
