The film sports a great script, sharp comedy, great practical FX, and a whole lot of heart. A sequel, Another WolfCop, was released in 2017; it scored slightly higher than the original on Rotten Tomatoes. If you’ve never experienced the irreverent blood-fest that is WolfCop, give the trailer and synopsis a spin below!
Synopsis:
As a series of strange and violent events begin to occur, an alcoholic policeman realizes that he has been turned into a werewolf as part of a larger plan.
Trivia:
There’s a scene in front of an autobody repair shop called “Stiles Autobody”. Stiles was Scott Howard’s best friend in Teen Wolf (19870. (Source)
The main character’s name, Lou Garou, is also the name of the werewolf located near the swamps in French folklore. Lougarou (also called Rougarou) is a common mythical creature in French Louisiana folktales. (Source)
When Lou first comes into the police station and he opens the drawer to his desk, you get a quick glimpse of what looks like a Jack Daniel’s Old no.7 Tennessee Whiskey bottle. The label actually says Jim Dandie’s Old no. 2 Kentucky Whiskey. (Source)
