    Cop Movies of the 1980s Ranked by How Many Laws They Broke

    Harry Posted on

    An incredibly unpleasant movie. Clint Eastwooddirected Immediate Effect It starts with a woman being gang raped (played by Eastwood’s real-life girlfriend Sondra Locke) and gets worse from there. On his own behalf(?), Immediate Effect He tries to reconcile the tension between Callahan’s extreme methods and getting results. But given the heinousness of the actual crime, Immediate Effect He is completely on Callahan’s side and believes that laws should be broken to stop extreme perverts.

    5. The Law of Silence (1985)

    As we’ll see again in a moment, director Andrew Davis has made a name for himself by getting excellent performances from action heroes with zero charisma. Inside Code of Silencedoing this trick Chuck NorrisA man whose martial arts skills impressed Bruce Lee and whose acting impressed no one else. Davis gets a lot of help Code of Silence By filling the film with great supporting actors like Dennis Farina, Henry Silva and Ron Dean.

    But while the casting helps spread responsibility, it also makes the Chicago Police Department seem really, really corrupt. This is kind of the point, at your own discretion Code of Silence. Written by Michael Butler, Dennis Shryack and Mike Gray. Code of Silence It’s about the Chicago gang war that breaks out after a corrupt cop kills an innocent person. The resulting turmoil forces officers to decide whether to represent the law or the badge, and while Norris’ Eddie Cusack fights for the former, most of the others do not.

    4. Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

    “It just got cancelled,” Roger Murtaugh quips (Danny Glover) before killing corrupt South African official Arjen Rudd (Joss Ackland), who had just claimed diplomatic immunity. It is difficult to understand how an aging sergeant has the right to revoke the immunity of any diplomat; even if that diplomat was an Afrikaner extolling the virtues of South African Apartheid and the sergeant was a Black man. But then Murtaugh and his partner Riggs (Mel Gibson) have already had their fair share of questionable activity in the former Lethal Weapon He has been directing since 1987 Richard Donner.

    Donner returns continuedhowever, original screenwriter Shane Black has story credit, while Jeffrey Boam gets sole screenplay credit on this sequel, along with Warren Murphy. This pile of names makes it hard to see exactly who deserved the mistake that pushed Murtaugh over the edge instead of keeping Riggs in check. When Murtaugh got too old to be a sensible person, Lethal Weapon It spirals out of control, and both cops engage in all kinds of illegal behavior to bring down their nefarious prey in a third-act bloodbath.

    3. Above the Law (1988)

    Anyone who’s heard of him, unless they’re thinking of straight-to-video action movies or his embarrassing series of supporting dictators like Vladimir Putin Steven Seagal I think about the years 1992 Under Siege. And for good reason. Seagal may be the world’s least convincing action star, but Under Siege rules, thanks to the real star Tommy Lee Jones and director Andrew Davis. Before Under SiegeDavis had gotten a solid performance from Seagal before. Above the Law.
