George Anderson Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 09/24/2024
Unpalatable mixture of the harsh reality of modern urban crime and the fanciful comic-strip bravado of Batman and Robin. Ron Leibeman overacts atrociously. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 01/23/2024
4/5
Post-Shaft, Gordon Parks knows how to get the best in local colour out of the Brooklyn setting, and even if there’s a lingering feeling that the truth behind this story isn’t on show, The Super Cops is an arresting experience for crime-movie aficionados.

...a loose, briskly-paced endeavor that benefits rather substantially from the effortlessly compelling work of its two stars... Go to Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press 12/14/2019

CodyZamboni Z 06/16/2024 Good fun action comedy. Both leads go all in on the craziness. The outrageous wacky comedy is contrasted nicely with the urban slum reality of 1970s New York. See more 04/29/2020 Wonderfully zany! An off-beat leading man, some clever retorts, and plenty of wacky hijinx make it a fun movie. See more 04/29/2020 Horribly miscast film. Ron Liebman overacts and David Selby under-delivers. Film is based on real-life cops who appear in a couple of scenes and they deliver better performances than the pros. Fortunately, legendary artist Gordon Parks directs. See more delysid d 04/09/2019 get these damn hippie cops off my squad! See more 06/07/2015 This zany crime flick (oddly based on a true story) is not only super fun, but super influential to others in the genre. We wouldn't have our Untouchables or 21 Jumpstreets without the Super Cops. See more 04/09/2014 Based on a true story, the 1970's may have been the last decade when something like this could have actually happened. See more Read all reviews
