\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve had a lot of time to think about Lowell Dean\u2019s follow up to 2014\u2019s \u201cWolfCop,\u201d and while I did love the original movie for its balls and unique premise, I can\u2019t say I loved \u201cAnother\u2026\u201d Is it a poor follow up to the original? Absolutely not, but with the bigger budget and massive acclaim, it feels more like Dean forced a lot of the cult aspects, and has a tough time progressing the narrative of his hero Lou Garou. That said, \u201cAnother WolfCop\u201d is still a fun cult movie romp that gets a nice blu-ray treatment for fans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Set a year after the transformation of Lou Garou in to WolfCop, he\u2019s now a lycanthrophic crime fighter who rides around his town fighting bad guys and ripping them to shreds as a\u2014well\u2014WolfCop. Despite stopping evil from hurting his town of Woodhaven, a new menace has introduced himself in the form of an entrepreneur named Swallows who\u2019s purchased a new brewery. With the help of crooked mayor Bubba (Kevin Smith still can\u2019t act), he hopes to take over the town, but WolfCop and his allies have something to say about that. \u201cWolfCop\u201d admittedly felt like lighting in a bottle, one of those rare instances where the stars aligned and we were granted a fun cult horror actioner. It\u2019s hard to follow up that act, but \u201cAnother WolfCop\u201d tries its damndest to offer up new gags and action for the audience.<\/p>\n

It almost feels like Lowell Dean was taken off guard by the success of the original movie and once fans demanded a follow up, he kind of tacked on a bunch of sub-plots. \u201cAnother WolfCop\u201d doesn\u2019t have a lot of focus on its titular hero, but when it does center on WolfCop, it\u2019s a fun and raucous action horror hybrid, with the wolf effects looking as great as ever. A lot of indie directors like to shroud their werewolves in darkness, or use a ton of CGI that looks awkward, but Lowell Dean knows he has a masterful design for his hero, and he flaunts it. WolfCop looks even better here than in the original film and Leo Fafard obviously has a great time in the skin of the monster. At a lean eighty minutes, you could do a lot worse than \u201cAnother WolfCop,\u201d as Lowell Dean\u2019s concept and Canada-centric film series is still a lot of fun, warts and all.<\/p>\n

The Blu-Ray comes with \u201cThe Making of Another WolfCop,\u201d a pretty basic segment for fans. \u201cFriends and Foes: Meet the Cast\u201d is a meet and greet with the whole cast of the movie. There\u2019s also \u201cThe Monster Shop: Special FX\u201d which explores the pretty excellent effects, including the wonderful creature effects for WolfCop. Finally there\u2019s \u201cShoot of Die!: Surviving on the Set.\u201d<\/p>\n
