Blue Jean Cop
Great late 80's gritty dirty cop drama, surprisingly very enjoyable, that was right upto the last 5 minutes. If they ended it with the corrupt officers being hauled it and grilled it would've been a fitting and rewarding ending, but oooooooooooooh no. No for those yankees.

Cue the lawyer who having just survived being assissinated before this big trial due to the rough and ready copper saving him (who looks like Billy Connoly but twice as trampy) they decide that the corrupt coppers are legging it, and they need to be stopped.

This is where everything goes tits up.

The copper who can't afford any clothes happens to own a cherry red Porche 911 convertable outside. No idea how, plus it only turns up there and then, right near the end. They speed off down the highway and get near this airport strip which is also near the coast. The coppers all are climbing into a small private jet which is pulling away and after a quick driver-swaparound and some speedy lawyer-driving the cop is dangling on the plane door as it's taking off. We then are greeted with the worst special effect I have ever seen with the plane flying past the Statue of Liberty (worse than a 70's Doctor Who monster) and the cop happens to be carrying a fecking GRENADE (must be standard US issue for normal bobbies). He lobs this in, falls a couple of hundred feet where the plane explodes spectacularly behind him. He lands in the water and swims out right beside the lawyer who'se parked up and is cheering with him. God bless America.

I stayed up until 1am watching this. The adverts came on afterwards and my jaw was still hanging open in disbelief.
