The Jigsaw Murders (1989)

Jag Mundhra directs Chad Everett, Michelle Johnson and Michael Sabatino in this erotic thriller where a middle-aged cop must find the serial killer that preys on glamour models before his estranged daughter catches the maniac’s eye.

Super trash. All seemingly filmed in and around the same warehouse. A proper sweaty scumbag villain. A second act twist where an unlikely stag-do game cracks the case. An alcoholic Dirty Harry who pretty much ruins everyone’s life with his insecurities. His and the psycho’s behaviour is mostly farcical. While some of this is intentional tongue-in-cheek nuttiness it does feel like a veil to cover up the ineptitude and unoriginality of the project. I’m not the biggest advocate of “so bad it is good” snark but this fits that bill snugly.
