What's your favorite cop movie?
« on: June 29, 2008, 05:40:02 PM »
My favorite is the original "Lethal Weapon".
I was really disappointed in the sequels, all of them. Mel Gibson's character, IMO, in the original was compelling because he was "on the ragged edge", but, I thought they took a guy who was always one minute from decorating the ceiling with his own brains and turned him into a clown in the first sequel. I don't think they wavered from that clowning the rest of the way. I was really able to relate to the character initially but they lost me after the first one. Plus, I thought the interaction between Gibson and Glover in the first one was really great, Glover never knowing when Gibson would go off or what he would do. I think they tamed Gibson's character a little too much.

Which cop movies rank high on your "favorites" list?

Well, My absolute favorite is "Bon Cop, Bad Cop"
It's a Canadian movie starring Colm Feore and Patrick Huard.  It I highly doubt any of you have heard of it, and I don't know how much you would enjoy it as it's in both English and French, so unless you have a basic knowledge of Quebec French you probably wouldn't get the whole movie.  It's also very typically Canadian in that it's all about hockey!!!

After that I'd have to say "Hot Fuzz"

I liked HEAT, too. The bank shootout was the best gunfight scene, IMO, of any modern day cop film, ever.

The Departed, hands down.

I liked Super Troopers and Hot Fuzz for cop comedy.
