I was watching HEAT and Al Pacino is as awesome as always (weird seeing him play a detective though lol). So the question popped up - What's your favorite character in a movie that's a cop?
Also... do you guys get offended when a lot of cops die in movies? Like in The Terminator and The Matrix when cops get mass murdered... I read that cops thought the scene in Terminator was their favorite though so I wanted to see what others think... thanks!

Robocop... because it has cop in the name.
I play video games, so cops getting killed in media is not a big deal to me. I think there's enough to worry about with cops getting killed in real life.

Dirty Harry (Inspector Callahan) is the all time best in my book.

Dirty Harry, mostly because he could create that much carnage, walk away from the scene and never write a report!
Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

Probably "The Departed," though "Training Day" and "Brooklyn's Finest" are excellent ones too.
Edit: just caught that this was asking about favorite "move cop" vice "cop movie"... doh!Last edited by Kimble; 11-20-11 at 04:58 PM.

Ramathorn from Super Troopers. Great mustache, nobody knows his nationality, and he can chug syrup like nobody else!

Dirty Harry. Because he carries a 44 mag, tells scumbags off, and gave us some of the best cop movie lines.
And who of us wouldn't LOVE to call a supervisor we don't respect "whale sh!t"? (Magnum force)Pittsburgh Pirates- 1st place NL Central 7/15/11
They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards wont get away this time

Allen Gamble or Terry Hoitz from The Other Guys!!
I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!!
As for what offends me, I lost interest in the shield when a cop got bumped to protect their corruption. Never watched it after that. Not interested.
Also not interested in anything that glamorises crime or criminals. I'm told Sons Of Anarchy is good....couldn't care less. If it is about OMCG's and it doesn't show them as pathetic criminal drug runners that have no spine on their own and can only work in a mob and go on about their code of honour but when push comes to shove they would sell our their own mother, then all it is is BS and if I want to watch BS I'd rather watch BS with a cop whose car is used as a soup kitchen and get a good laugh."He didn't want to tell the cop he was on his way to the Butt Pirate Palace for a little two-step with Joe-Joe during the Village People marathon." - Cat_Doc
