Under the aptly named chief of its Public Security group, William Gunn, Bangor Punta is rapidly becoming the Abercrombie & Fitch of law and order. Fully equipped by the company, a cop could use a Bangor Punta Dominator radarscope to spot a speeder or car thief, signal him to stop with a Dominator siren, pull out a Smith & Wesson .38 and pull on a Lake Erie gas mask, flush his quarry with Lake Erie tear gas, immobilize him with Mace, bring him to with a Stephenson resuscitator, check him for alcohol with a Breathalyzer, and slap on Smith & Wesson handcuffs...

...hall of mirrors, and a visit to a floating brothel full of identical-twin prostitutes. Long before the ending, the movie has been swallowed up in affected effects and ponderous expository scenes. Despite occasional sprightly echoes of his past repartee, and despite a large cast of competent character actors, Gunn seems of much smaller caliber than he was in the living room...
