Two great evil performances ......

The concept of a serial rapist being the only one who can identify a serial bomber is what drives this exploitation shocker towards B movie greatness. Neville Brand, despicable as he is, assaulting and killing to satisfy his twisted sexual fantasies, is easily eclipsed by Chuck Conners as the mad bomber, on a crusade to avenge his daughter's death. These two great evil performances are the core of this film. What prevents "The Police Connection" from being a flat out classic is head police investigator Vince Edwards, who sleep walks through the entire movie, providing zero charisma. He most definitely is no "Dirty Harry". If you can find an unedited version, get it. You will be amazed. - MERK

A choice chunk of 70's exploitation schlock

Bitter and hard-nosed Lt. Geronimo Minelli (a terrifically tough performance by Vince Edwards) requires the assistance of scuzzy no-count rapist George Fromley (gruffly essayed with growly gusto by Neville Brand) in order to identify and arrest vengeful mad bomber William Dorn (a marvelously cantankerous portrayal by Chuck Connors). Writer/director Bert I. Gordon keeps the entertaining story moving along at a brisk pace, maintains a resolutely gritty, sordid, and cynical tone throughout, and delivers several scenes of gruesome violence as well as a pleasing plethora of tasty gratuitous female nudity (special props to Ilona Wilson as Fromley's eager to please wife for happily letting it all hang out in her creepy hubby's skeevy home stag movies). Moreover, the three leads all have a field day playing their colorfully wacky characters, with Connor's furious tirades against obnoxious folks who make him angry in particular providing the film's most hysterically campy moments. Michel Menton's right-on funky score hits the get-down groovy spot. A real trashy treat.
