I went to a sneak-preview of the film that they don't bother to promote in the above interview. Really enjoyed it! Below is the review I wrote for Cinemaclock...
Here's the deal with this flick- if you're a fan of 1980s style comedy cop flicks a'la Lethal Weapon and especially Beverly Hills Cop, then you'll really enjoy this lightweight action film from Kevin Smith. Hell, it's even got an 80s Axel Foley synthesizer soundtrack.
Bruce Willis is the grizzled veteran cop, Tracy Morgan (or is it Jordan? I get confused) plays his goofy partner. There's a plot of sorts- revolving around the pair trying to get back a valuable baseball card stolen from Willis' character by a gang of frightening hispanic ethnic stereotypes, the leader of which is a sports memorabilia collector.
There are a bunch of chases- both on foot and in cars- a couple of shootouts, and some minor sub-plots with a few twists. All of which serve solely as situations for Morgan to riff off of Willis' straight-man like a manic comedic madman. These guys have some great chemistry together, in the finest buddy-picture tradition.
A couple of cameos- notably Jason Lee as the slimy step-father of Willis' daughter, and Seann William Scott is hilarious as a strung-out cat burglar.
This movie's quite a change of pace for director Smith- a straight-up mainstream comedy. But it's still got a lot of his trademark clever dialogue and the characters are better fleshed-out and more believable than is usual for this genre. It drags a little bit in the second act, but moves on soon enough and pretty much succeeds in entertaining on every level.

Thanks for the promote!

If these high tech stuff are needed, then just call in the military!

The military doesn't work well with people, even in Canada if you transfer from the MP's(Military Police) to RCMP you still have to go back to the RCMP college for 3mo to make sure you don't crack people in the head, and criminals have a tendency of using the same hollowpoint, or better yet AP rounds which seems to be their new favorite. The problem is, the average citizen has problems with APC's rolling down the street to deal with the average 'crime problem'. Let me explain a bit more. The military is slow to respond to 'criminal' activity, it's not their area of expertise. But on average up here, only about 1:10 calls for service are actually criminal related.

In Canada land, specifically out in BC, the cops aren't out like that unless oh they need to be. However, they do seem to be having problems with the gangs and other lowlifes, well...AP rounds? Check, armor plated cars? Check. Oh did I mention that it's not the police using them but the criminals? It'll be a bit before we see our own high profile shootout like you did down in the US but it'll happen.

It's not the police that get pressed into using higher firepower, it's a response to criminal action. And with that it becomes an ongoing escalation. But you can't kick it down without people helping you either, too bad most people would rather turn a blind eye to everything these days. And I can give so many examples of that, it's not even funny.

I think I have perhaps the most forgiving suspension of disbelief ever, along with a tendency to just accept what's on the screen, so I enjoyed all three movies about the same. Nothing can beat the lobby shootout, though.

You know, the followup video with the shootout is even better than this one...

I would totally post that, except i'm sure it would get removed from YT instantly.

I would say it's a dupe, feel free to switch out your original embed with the one I used as I have done a dupeof and transferred the votes.

dang i knew i should have tracked down a shorter version of the shot when i posted it, brief = more votes. o well its a much more bare bones cut of the shot so i don't think this is a dupe.

He shot at a police officer with the intent of killing him/her. Frankly, anything other than a well placed bullet to the cranium during the shootout is letting this guy off easy, as far as I'm concerned.
