Joe Spinell wrote and starred in Maniac and in 1989 he decided to plan out a sequel named Maniac 2: Mr Robbie, to finance the project a short was filmed to show what the film would be like. I must say the short is a very great little taster and it's a shame Maniac 2: Mr Robbie never came to light as a feature film but sadly Joe Spinell died of a heart attack so the project of Maniac 2 was scrapped, the short is the only thing that remains of what cold of been Maniac 2: Mr Robbie.
