Empire je imao glasanje:

20
Lt. Vincent Hanna

Case Heat
AKA Al Pacino
Modus Operandi Restless as a bird, Hanna displays obsessive devotion to the job, often at the expense of his marriages. He catches the scent of his prey then hunts them down, understanding how they think, to the point of liking them.
Arrests Tracking down the hottest bank crew in LA, led by foe and friend Neil McCauley.
Did You Know In an early draft he was a coke addict, which might account for the brashness.

19
Sgt. Nick Angel

Case Hot Fuzz
AKA Simon Pegg
Modus Operandi An overachiever who displeases his less fastidious seniors in London and baffles his colleagues in the sleepy village of Sandford. Disapproves of cake-buying as a punishment for illegality.
Arrests A mysterious killer slaughtering locals. Also apprehends a runaway swan.
Did You Know Edgar Wright appears as a Somerfield shelf-stacker, the job he had as a teenager.

18
Officer Alex Murphy

Case RoboCops 1-3
AKA Peter Weller, Robert John Burke, Richard Eden, Page Fletcher
Modus Operandi Serve the public; protect the innocent; uphold the law; (take no action against OCP employees).
Arrests Less arrests than shooting to bits (movies), wounding (TV movies) or smacking (cartoon).
Did You Know Basil Poledouris' RoboCop march is Franz Waxman's Bride Of Frankenstein 'angry mob' theme slowed down.

17
Jack Traven

Case Speed
AKA Keanu Reeves
Modus Operandi A SWAT officer who'll do whatever it takes to get his man. Can solve problems at over 50mph and flirt with a hot bus driver who looks just like Sandra Bullock. Says... everything... very... slowly.
Arrests Not strictly an arrest, so much as being an accessory to decapitation of a bomb squad officer turned crazed extortionist.
Did You Know In an early draft of the script, Jack's partner Harry was going to be revealed as the mad bomber. But then Ed Harris was replaced by the more cuddly Jeff Daniels.

16
Sgt. George Dixon

Case The Blue Lamp, Dixon of Dock Green (TV series), The Black and Blue Lamp (TV play)
AKA Jack Warner
Modus Operandi Plodding about on the beat, giving out tea and buns at the station, dispensing elderly wisdom to younger coppers, greeting everyone with a cheerful "evenin' all".
Arrests Tearaway Tom Riley (Dirk Bogarde), apprehended in connection with a robbery at a greyhound track — but who shot the arresting officer, and was the subject of a murder hunt.
Did You Know Quite apart from dying in his 1950 film debut, Jack Warner's Dixon was back on the beat on the BBC from 1955 to 1976.

15
Det. Lt. William Somerset

Case Seven
AKA Morgan Freeman
Modus Operandi The voice of reason and compassion in a world of darkness. Though near retirement, he still tackles the toughest cases and mentors a new partner. His knowledge of the classics and the Bible make him a worthy adversary for any super-intelligent psychopaths.
Arrests John Doe (aka Kevin Spacey); Detective David Mills (aka Brad Pitt).
Did You Know A cut scene has him visit the country house he plans to move into upon retirement. He cuts a rose from the wallpaper there and carries it with him — it falls from his hand in the final scene.

14
Det. Virgil Tibbs

Case In The Heat Of The Night, They Call Me MISTER Tibbs, The Organization
AKA Sidney Poitier
Modus Operandi Quiet observation and deduction, tactful interrogation of testy witnesses, African-American pride.
Arrests Ralph Henshaw (Anthony James), for murder; Reverend Logan Sharpe (Martin Landau), for murder; Mrs. Morgan (Sheree North), charges waived when she becomes co-operative witness against organised crime in San Francisco.
Did You Know Author John Ball was a devoted naturist — and set his second Tibbs book, The Cool Cottontail, in a nudist colony.

13
Officer Frank Serpico

Case Serpico
AKA Al Pacino
Modus Operandi Undercover cop Frank Serpico looks like he's from the street. But his fuzzy face and quirky sense of humour mark him out as a "weirdo cop". Worse, he's an honest one.
Arrests It's more about the exposure of rampant corruption in the NYPD.
Did You Know The real Serpico wanted to hang with Pacino on set, but was sent away for fear of being too distracting.

12
Agent Clarice Starling

Case The Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal
AKA Jodie Foster, Julianne Moore
Modus Operandi FBI rookie's innocence proves a boon when dealing with Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Also has a good head for tricky anagrams...
Arrests She manages to hunt down Buffalo Bill (né Jame Gumb) but is on duty during Hannibal Lecter's crafty escape — of dubious use during the hunt for the absentee psycho.
Did You Know Emma Thompson was approached before Foster.

11
Det. Capt.John Book

Case Witness
AKA Harrison Ford
Modus Operandi Hides out in Amish country to protect a child witness; dances to Sam Cooke hits; builds barns; tempers violent big city ways with pacifist tendencies...until the final bloodbath.
Arrests Sees off the corrupt cops in a climactic shootout.
Did You Know Sylvester Stallone turned down the role.

10
Lt. Frank Drebin

Case The Naked Guns 1, 2 1/2, 33 1/3
AKA Leslie Nielsen
Modus Operandi There's nothing by-the-book about Drebin's crime-fighting. A master of disguise (able to infiltrate a Beirut cabal) and able to defuse bombs (by tripping over power cord).
Arrests Foiled a plot to kill the Queen, a conspiracy to destroy the environment and an attempt to blow up the Oscars. Honoured at the White House for killing 1,000 drug dealers, though he backed over the last two with his car.
Did You Know Drebin is Dutch-Irish, but his father was from Wales.

9
Inspector 'Tequila' Yuen

Case Hard Boiled
AKA Chow Yun Fat
Modus Operandi Holding a gun in each hand and firing with deadly accuracy; spending his downtime playing jazz clarinet; avenging partners killed in the line of duty.
Arrests Gunrunning mobster Johnny Wong, who is shot dead. Yuen was also after Wong's vicious rival Hoi, but suspect was killed by Wong's criminal associate 'Mad Dog'.
Did You Know This movie has a body count of 230 and expended more than 10,000 rounds of blank ammunition.

8
Det. Axel Foley

Case Beverly Hills Cops I-III
AKA Eddie Murphy
Modus Operandi Trained in Detroit, Foley is a motor-mouthed street cop who follows his gut. His unvarnished methods tend to rub superiors up the wrong way, plus LA's snooty waiters, but Foley's instinct is rarely wrong and he's brought down some major crime rings.
Arrests Depraved art dealer Victor Maitland and weapons kingpin Maxwell Dent. Exposes a counterfeiting ring within Wonder World.
Did You Know Of all the cops on this list, he has the most popular ringtone theme.

7
Police Chief Marge Gunderson

Case Fargo
AKA Frances McDormand
Modus Operandi Don't be fooled by her mumsy manner — she's as sharp as a razor. Foes should beware her eagle-eyed police work if not that of her less than "hundred per cent" partner, Lou.
Arrests She nabs idiot Jerry Lundegaard and shoots a goon, and a wood chipper gets the rest.
Did You Know McDormand and John Carroll Lynch (as hubbie Norm Son-Of-A-Gunderson) thought up an entire backstory for their life.

6
Sgt. Martin Riggs

Case Lethal Weapons 1-4
AKA Mel Gibson
Modus Operandi Bug-eyed crazy, manic depressive and with a killer line in quips. Works best when motivated by a personal grudge.
Arrests Shadow Company (killed resisting arrest); General McAllister (suicide resisting arrest); Mr. Joshua (killed); unnamed assassin (killed); Pieter Vorstedt (killed); SA Minister Arjen Rudd (killed); Billy Phelps (arrested); Lt. Jack Travis (killed); Wah Sing Ku (killed).
Did You Know Bruce Willis said, when promoting Die Hard 4.0, that he was offered the part of Riggs in the original Lethal Weapon.

5
Officer Jim Malone

Case The Untouchables
AKA Sean Connery
Modus Operandi Incorruptible beat cop transferred to the treasury department to nail Al Capone, full of cod philosophy about The Chicago Way; shoots an already dead gangster to get another mobster to 'fess up, tragically gunned down at home.
Arrests Collars Capone's bookkeeper, who is subsequently murdered by Capone's henchmen. Finds out the whereabouts of the other bookkeeper.  
Did You Know It was Connery's idea to film the "blood oath" scene in a Catholic church — originally it was on the street.

4
Officer Bud White

Case L. A. Confidential
AKA Russell Crowe
Modus Operandi Brute force, but with the growing sense that he has the nous to crack a case. Call it handicap or skill, childhood trauma has given White a mission to save women from violence — this can cloud his judgment.
Arrests Hard to tell how many crooks have felt the 'strong arm' of the law, but he helps bring down corruption within the LAPD.
Did You Know The role was actually written with Michael Madsen in mind.

3
Det. Popeye Doyle

Case The French Connections 1 & 2
AKA Gene Hackman
Modus Operandi Dressing up as Santa Claus on stakeouts, interrogating perps by asking them if they've ever picked their feet in Poughkeepsie, wearing a porkpie hat, driving a 1970 Pontiac LeMans really fast.
Arrests Shoots small fry Nicoli and Sal Boca dead. Despite cornering him in a warehouse (the final shot is off-screen), big-fish drug importer Alain Charnier escapes his clutches.
Did You Know Popeye's real first name is James.

2
Det. John McClane

Case Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Hard With A Vengeance, Die Hard 4.0
AKA Bruce Willis
Modus Operandi NYPD flatfoot McClane has found himself at the centre of four major terrorist incidents. Though he works well alone, he's used resources including LA officer Powell, New York store-owner Carver and Washington hacker Farrell. Prepared to take risks.
Arrests Many fatalities, notably thief Hans Gruber, mercenary Colonel Stuart, gold-hungry Simon Gruber and cyber-terrorist Thomas Gabriel.
Did You Know McClane's catchphrase, "yippee-kay-yay", was written as "yippee-ti-yay".  

1
Lt. 'Dirty' Harry Callahan

Case Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, The Dead Pool
AKA Clint Eastwood
Modus Operandi Discharging a Magnum .45 into the face of unarmed suspects, running up and down San Francisco hills, snarling and spitting hard-bitten sentiments, peeping into bedroom windows, disrespecting superior officers.
Arrests Scorpio, shot dead; police lieutenant Neil Briggs, shot dead; Bobby Maxwell, shot dead; Jennifer Spencer, released without charge; Harlan Rook, skewered with a harpoon.
Did You Know When the Dirty Harry script was called Dead Right, it was meant for Frank Sinatra.

Ako je recimo Nick Angel na listi, na njoj slobodno može biti i Starsky iz Philipsovog filma, zar ne? Uostalom taj film je preteča HOT FUZZa...
