COP KILLERS (1973)

[The Burgomaster]

I bought this DVD as part of a Shriek Show boxed set.  Here's the trailer:

This is a very low budget, poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly edited, poorly EVERYTHING exploitation action flick.  It's one of those movies where you can sometimes hear the sound of the camera.  There's also some pretty awful sound effects editing.  Several times guns are fired but there's no matching gunshot sound.

The plot involves two drug dealers who kill some cops (thus the title COP KILLERS).  They spend most of the movie driving across desert roads in Arizona with a blond female hostage.  Occasionally, they shoot, stab, or beat someone.  Jason Williams (from FLESH GORDON, the X-Rated ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and other low-budget movies) stars along with Bill Osco (who produced some low-budget films) as the two drug dealers.

Rick Baker (!!!) did the (mostly cheesy) make-up effects.

I love how that trailer has been approved for " all audiences" despite the drug references, cop-killing, and general all around mayhem

Good god I'm in love.

I have this movie. I LOVE this movie! Jason Williams is a total scumbag! A 5 star keeper!

yeah I liked this one alot too.  it's one of those b movies where it gets better as it goes along.  like the director and actors gain experience over the course of the movie and by the end are perhaps ready to make a real movie.  I remeber one scene in particular where the guy was miked up and you can see the wire right there under his shirt as he talks and they just left it in
