No hooker is safe when a nutso nobody works himself up to A CLIMAX OF BLUE POWER, on Blu-ray/DVD combo from Vinegar Syndrome.

Apparently rejected joining from the police academy due to height requirements – although it seems like mental instability might also have been a factor – Eddie (I. William Quinn, LOVE ME DEADLY) divides his nights between a job as a night watchman and augmenting his uniform and car to impersonate a police officer on patrol in order to bust and take advantage of prostitutes. His latest victim Linda (Starlyn Simone, VIDEO VIXENS!) actually goes to the police and Lieutenant Cable (Wes Bishop, THE THING WITH TWO HEADS) is soon on the case. While daydreaming on the beach after work one day, Eddie overhears a gunshot from a house nearby and spies a domestic dispute between a woman (Angela Carnon, DROP-OUT WIFE) and her husband who accuses her of cheating on him. A struggle ensues and the man is killed. Eddie obsesses over what he has seen and, when the police fail to make an arrest for what is ruled a "suspected suicide," Eddie thinks he can show up the police by getting her to confess by himself or punish her if she refuses.

Lee Frost's A CLIMAX OF BLUE POWER is hardcore take on the roughie formula – which he had previously explored in the simulated SLAVES IN CAGES and the ILSA precursor LOVE CAMP 7 – it is also sort of a companion piece to Frost's earlier ZERO IN AND SCREAM in which a sniper takes out swingers. Quinn – who also starred with Carnon in Frost's previous hardcore film POOR CECILY – carries the film in terms of performances as much out of dedication as other characters being written on a purely functional level as they exist from his perspective. Despite the telling of the film from Eddie's perspective, the film does not endorse his worldview, with the book-ending scenes of rape and humiliation scene particularly ugly and unpleasant (and body-doubled for the female partners) – even more so because of real-life reports of such abuse of power by some actual police officers as well as impersonators – in contrast to Eddie's relatively normal threesome encounter at a massage parlor (sadly a briefly-glimpsed Uschi Digard does not join in). Although it should be quite obvious to anyone else that the woman's shooting of her husband could at least pass for self-defense, she is just a whore in Eddie's mind and he actually believes he can get a confession out of her and turn her in for the glory without giving himself away not only as a police impersonator but the perpetrator of a number of other crimes. The film still has one foot set in the exploitation and softcore world of filmmaking with supporting appearances by George Carey (THE BABYSITTER), Marland Proctor (THE CUT-THROATS), and THE HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN producer Bob Cresse as the massage parlor manager.
