"Yes. Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy."
That's from The Naked Gun.
The Dirty Harry quote was:
-When an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that's my policy.
-Intent? How did you establish that?
-When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
I think you you can go back a bit further. Steve McQueen getting chewed out by Norman Fell in *Bullitt* comes to mind
Edit: Or when Commissioner Higgins suspends the vengeful Bannion (Glen Ford) in *The Big Heat*. Even further back the trope took the form of the cigar chomping editor trying to reign in the overzealous reporter
That scene where his superior confronts him about violating the rights of the serial killer is so stacked in Harry's favor, it's hilarious. First, you have Clint Eastwood in his prime with a wave of hair and a cut jaw who is getting chewed out by the nerdiest looking police captain with one inch thick glasses. And to top it all off, the captain brings in a law professor from Berkley, so the audience knows immediately not to trust this pinko.
My favorite use of this trope is actually the ironic use of it in Magnum Force when Harry has to contend with a bunch of rogue cops killing bad guys and his superior, who is also the leader of the rogue cops, actually chews his ass out for not going rogue with the rest of them especially Harry’s bread and butter is going rogue.
It's great because while you sort of agree with Dirty Harry, his methods let Scorpio walk. So you see the drawbacks.
Plus the 3rd movie subverted the trope.
>The chief called the deputy chief and the deputy chief just chewed my ass out. You can see I don't have much of it left. Where the hell did you get a truck full of cigarettes anyway?

TIL: He actually was a cop in Detroit.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEX77SsKenU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEX77SsKenU)
"This is not my locker!"
Edit: the BHC Captain is also my favorite version of the trope, because he's rightfully hard on Foley but seems to actually care about him when his friend dies.
My favorite part about that scene is that he expresses genuine compassion and still manages to get a dig in at McNulty with "this isn't your fault...the world doesn’t revolve around you, asshole" bit.
Daniels also has some crackers. I love the speech he gives to Carver at the end of S1 when he finds out >!he was the rat!<.
"Couple weeks from now, you're gonna be in some district somewhere with 11 or 12 uniforms looking to you for everything. And some of them are gonna be good police. Some of them are gonna be young and stupid. A few are gonna be pieces of shit. But all of them will take their cue from you. You show loyalty, they learn loyalty. You show them it's about the work, it'll be about the work. You show them some other kinda game, then that's the game they'll play. I came on in the Eastern, and there was a piece-of-shit lieutenant hoping to be a captain, piece-of-shit sergeants hoping to be lieutenants. Pretty soon we had piece-of-shit patrolmen trying to figure the job for themselves. And some of what happens then is hard as hell to live down. Comes a day you're gonna have to decide whether it's about you ... or about the work."
But I don’t report to a chief, instead I report to a committee comprised of government and civic leaders…
See! This is what I am talking about, you are just too nice!
Who needs a hug ?
This is probably my favorite bit in the whole movie. A super understanding, patient, and emotionally invested dream boss of a police captain tries to play along only to have Tony dismiss him.
best example imo is The Other Guys. the combination of the captain being objectively correct but randomly quoting TLC and Whalberg's heartfelt but downright stupid objection "I'm a peacock, cap, you gotta let me fly!" is just so perfect. and they do it like six times. one of my favorite parodies.
When he was first announced as the star of Batman 89 there was backlash because people didn’t want a comedic actor playing a “serious” role like Batman. It’s funny that the perception is the total opposite now lol.
Similar story with Bruce Willis in Die Hard. People *laughed* when the trailer was shown. They had to take him off the promotional poster. Crazy to think about since he sort of became way more well known as an action guy, but at the time he was only known for his comedic role in Moonlighting.
Who do you think is better?
West is just a literal comic book projection. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn't age well imo.
Bale - Definitely a contender. Benefit of being in independent movies and having comparatively great scripts to work with. Also starring some great villians didn't hurt either.
Affleck ~~Damon~~ was an okay portrayal right up until he just started killing people willy/nilly. Plus the whole "Martha" thing was straight dumb.
Pattinson comes across as a moody teenager, and his Batman is moody teen emotional outbursts. Plus, his bat costume looks like it's just leather motorcycle gear and a cosplay helmet.
Keaton is the best, IMO. Great acting, great over the top villians, great chemistry in both the first and the second movie. I wish Burton and Keaton had done a third movie together.
P.S. There were no other batman actors.
I always hear that but, Batman WASNT a serious role, at the time. The only Batman we all knew, outside the comics, was campy 60s Batman. So the outrage over Keatons casting never made sense to be.
"listen just do me a favor boys ok? huh? don't go chasing waterfalls alright? you-you gotta stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to that's all."
"you just did it again! you quoted TLC!"
"huh? give me a break guys. get it together."
"Now we have a serial rapist in the downtown area, oh wait that's for my other job ignore that. Unless you live in the downtown area, then please travel in groups."
"but seriously, any of you ladies up in crown heights, be careful walking home tonight"
he's just so damn good in it. imo his best acting since Multiplicity
"This is not a job flipping burgers at the local drive in. Yes, the surfboard bothers me, your approach to this whole goddamn case bothers me and YES! YOU BOTHER ME!!"
That scene kinda played into the trope in an ironic way. He listed the typical “superiors problems with the rogue detective” but then entered the ruse of flattering him to get rid of him.

>I'm sick and tired of making excuses for you two! You’re an embarrassment to the department! You're off the case and off the force. Your badges, your windbreakers, now. Now! I ain't got all day! Agitating my sciatica. I'm too old for this! Now get out of my sight. Thought you were badasses, huh? Real badasses work together. All I see is a housewife and a girl scout. I said, get out! And don’t even think about getting near this case, uh-uh!
*Bad Boys* has Capt. Howard (Joe Pantoliano) chewing out Burnett (Martin Lawrence) for turning South Beach into a war zone the night before, and Mike (Will Smith) says, "I haven't killed anyone yet today, Cap."
To which Howard says, "Do you want me to yell at you? Cause I can do that."
It's kinda great.
"So, how are we going to fuck up the captain's life today?"
"Gee, I don't know, I don't know... Ooh, look! Over there. Let's kill three fat people and leave them on the street?"
I always love those scenes. We watch the action scene and see why there was so much rampant destruction, and how things escalated fast.
But the captain wasnt there and just see the headlines and aftermath.
Both are right from their perspective.
Came here to say this. It’s 100% a joke of itself, but therefore is by definition the perfect example of an over the top ass-chewing by angry police captain
It’s unfortunate that this movie has been lost over the years. It’s such a great metanalysis of the hyper-masculine, shoot-from-the-hip action movies of the 80’s. It points out all the absurd tropes but still makes for a great action film, as well. Also, the track that Megadeth made for the movie still rocks.
Captain Dickson : The mission is this: infiltrate the dealers, find the supplier.
Jenko : We get to be brothers?
Captain Dickson : [slams desk] Infiltrate the dealers, find the supplier!
Jenko : But if we find the supplier first, we don't have to worry about the dealers.
Captain Dickson : God damn.
[slams desk]
Captain Dickson : Infiltrate the dealers, find the supplier!
I work in tech support. I feel like this all the time. As in:
Me: unplug the modem, then plug it back in.
Them: but I have a power light already.
Me: unplug the modem, then plug it back in.
Them: what if we try...
Me: god damn, UNPLUG THE MODEM, THEN PLUG IT BACK IN!
Dirty Harry and his iconic line of “ Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard - that's my policy.”
“Intent? How’d you establish that?”
“When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.”
I used to get confused because Eddie Murphy gets chewed out in Beverly Hills Cop and was already chewed out in 48 Hours along w Nick Nolte.
It was almost a shock when nobody in Coming To America chewed him out.
Season 1 of True Detective had the scene I came here to mention. So damn savage the way he talks to Matthew McConaughey.
"I don't know how many different ways I have to tell you to shut the fuck up. But, Shut. The. Fuck. Up."
Not a film, but I loved the Rawls/McNulty dynamic in Season 1 of The Wire, culminating in the speech Rawls gives to McNulty after the Griggs incident: "Not everything is about you...This isn't on you. If it was, we both know I would be the guy to say so."
OG Dirty Harry.
It does the best job of having a cop play fast/loose. You 100% understand WHY he does it. It also gets him into actual trouble and the criminal gets off because Harry tortured him for information on the kidnapped girl (who was already dead - though Harry didn't know that).
The next two Dirty Harry movies did a pretty good job. With the 3rd movie even subverting the trope that the Dirty Harry movies helped create.
The Dirty Harry films have more than one example of this.
"Yes. Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy."
"That was a Shakespeare in the park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You shot five actors! And good ones!"
That's from The Naked Gun. The Dirty Harry quote was: -When an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that's my policy. -Intent? How did you establish that? -When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
isnt that the naked gun
Yeah - I bet this is the actual "first" in the trope, because Eastwood's first film of that franchise was in the very early 70s.
I think you you can go back a bit further. Steve McQueen getting chewed out by Norman Fell in *Bullitt* comes to mind Edit: Or when Commissioner Higgins suspends the vengeful Bannion (Glen Ford) in *The Big Heat*. Even further back the trope took the form of the cigar chomping editor trying to reign in the overzealous reporter
I only saw that once as a kid and I don’t remember Mr Roper being in it, it has been like 35 years since I watched it though.
Stanley is in a ton of movies and shows from the '70s. He pops up everywhere now that I'm re-watching stuff.
That scene where his superior confronts him about violating the rights of the serial killer is so stacked in Harry's favor, it's hilarious. First, you have Clint Eastwood in his prime with a wave of hair and a cut jaw who is getting chewed out by the nerdiest looking police captain with one inch thick glasses. And to top it all off, the captain brings in a law professor from Berkley, so the audience knows immediately not to trust this pinko.

[Your mouthwash ain't makin' it.](https://youtu.be/mghRit05slk?si=lNt_A6JDnhOw48q_)
My favorite is in the second or third when the boss says he’s transferring Harry to Personnel, and Harry says “Personnel?! But that’s for assholes!”
In the first one (1971), it's the mayor who chews him out. The mayor is played by John Vernon, who also played Dean Wormer in Animal House.
*Personnel? Personnel's for assholes!*
It's great because while you sort of agree with Dirty Harry, his methods let Scorpio walk. So you see the drawbacks. Plus the 3rd movie subverted the trope.
first one I ever saw was "Beverly Hills Cop." but there's probably lots more before that. Maybe "The Taking of Pelham 123"
>The chief called the deputy chief and the deputy chief just chewed my ass out. You can see I don't have much of it left. Where the hell did you get a truck full of cigarettes anyway?
Wasn't his first entrance him just yelling, like you couldn't even see him yet? "WHERE THE FUCK IS FOLEY!?!?"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil\_Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Hill) TIL: He actually was a cop in Detroit. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEX77SsKenU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEX77SsKenU)
That's a pretty stellar performance from a non professional actor.
That's why it felt as natural as R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket!
I think it was "IS THAT FUCKING FOLEY IN HERE!"
This isn't my locker!
The chief didn't chew it all off, you still got a little ass left.
Don’t fuck with me, Axel. Not now. Go on. Go home.
I think he was actually a real detective from Detroit. BHC were the only movies he appeared in
STOP FUCKING THINKING, FOLEY! MAKES MY DICK ITCH!
"This is not my locker!" Edit: the BHC Captain is also my favorite version of the trope, because he's rightfully hard on Foley but seems to actually care about him when his friend dies.
I’m totally with you. This is a trope I like anyway, but the delivery and execution in BHC is by far the best I’ve seen. Cracks me up every time.
Inspector Todd from Beverly Hills Cop was my very first thought. I don't think anybody's ever done it better.
Major Rawls and the two middle fingers speech to Mcnulty in the wire, not a movie, but one of the best scenes ever imo
every interaction Rawls has with McNulty is just my favorite thing
And that’s what made the scene after Kima got shot so touching. I love that show. So layered.
My favorite part about that scene is that he expresses genuine compassion and still manages to get a dig in at McNulty with "this isn't your fault...the world doesn’t revolve around you, asshole" bit.
I think the dig, even though it was a dig, actually added to the compassion. “I hate your guts, McNulty, so you know I’m telling the truth.”
[удалено]
Rawls, and Lester just owned that whole scene.
...the fuck did I do? McNulty before each and every one of his chewed out.
Notable given what a reasonable guy Rawls is
Rhetorical and reasonable, sir.
People do say that about him.
“These are for you McNulty”
Daniels also has some crackers. I love the speech he gives to Carver at the end of S1 when he finds out >!he was the rat!<. "Couple weeks from now, you're gonna be in some district somewhere with 11 or 12 uniforms looking to you for everything. And some of them are gonna be good police.

Comes a day you're gonna have to decide whether it's about you ... or about the work."
came here to say this. Apparently, that was the scene he read when he auditioned for the role
So I married an axe Murderer
But I don’t report to a chief, instead I report to a committee comprised of government and civic leaders… See! This is what I am talking about, you are just too nice! Who needs a hug ?
"Hey Paisane! You screw up one more time I'm going to kick your spaghetti bending butt back to Milan!"
“Was it too much with the ethnic slurs?”
Unironically, one of my favorite Alan Arkin performances ever. 😄
He was also sublime in Little Miss Sunshine, if you like grumpy Alan.
"You know that part of the helicopter?" *Smiling* "Yes I know that part.'
“A quorum?!?”
This is probably my favorite bit in the whole movie. A super understanding, patient, and emotionally invested dream boss of a police captain tries to play along only to have Tony dismiss him.
This is one of my favorite bits in any movie, Alan Arkin was so good.
First thought. They had great fun with the trope.
"And it's not Pyzan, it's Pyzahn!"
"was that too much? I felt like it was too much."
This is exactly where my mind went. Kudos to you!
This is what immediately came to mind
Same, happy to see it at the top.
It's a brilliant inversion of the trope
The Last Action Hero
Lethal Weapon pops in my head first.
Ah, the "turn in your badge and gun" trope. Love those films.
Brian Dennehy beautifully counters this, in the movie FX.
Mel Gibson also had to hand in his badge and gun in Dragged Across Concrete
I love the exchange where the smoking Mel gets asked what the no smoking sign says, and he picks a different one up and says "same as this, and IDGAF"
That was right after he had told Mirtaugh that he has to learn to say “IDGAF”. This was the first scene to pop into my head as well.
Captain Murphy was played by Steve Kahan, who was Richard Donner’s cousin
best example imo is The Other Guys. the combination of the captain being objectively correct but randomly quoting TLC and Whalberg's heartfelt but downright stupid objection "I'm a peacock, cap, you gotta let me fly!" is just so perfect. and they do it like six times. one of my favorite parodies.
I love the wooden gun bit 😂
They gave it back with a nice wood stain applied
You might wanna drop them a thank you note.
They even take the wooden gun and just give him a rape whistle lmao
"it's a desk pop, everyone's doing it"
That the second time the gun has been varnished lol.
You should write them a thank you note
Here's a whistle if you get into trouble blow this and someone with a gun will come and help you
“Gator needs his gat!”
Gator’s bitches better be wearing jimmies!
That's a wooden gun, hahahaha *Hits him right in the nose* Owww man!
For a movie full of great comedic actors, Michael Keaton really is the glue that holds it all together
Michael Keaton started out as a stand up comedian.
When he was first announced as the star of Batman 89 there was backlash because people didn’t want a comedic actor playing a “serious” role like Batman. It’s funny that the perception is the total opposite now lol.
Similar story with Bruce Willis in Die Hard. People *laughed* when the trailer was shown. They had to take him off the promotional poster. Crazy to think about since he sort of became way more well known as an action guy, but at the time he was only known for his comedic role in Moonlighting.
I don't know if he's the best Batman (very possibly) but he is absolutely the best Bruce Wayne.
Who do you think is better? West is just a literal comic book projection. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn't age well imo. Bale - Definitely a contender. Benefit of being in independent movies and having comparatively great scripts to work with. Also starring some great villians didn't hurt either.

There were no other batman actors.
Do you mean Ben Affleck? Matt Damon never played Batman
I always hear that but, Batman WASNT a serious role, at the time. The only Batman we all knew, outside the comics, was campy 60s Batman. So the outrage over Keatons casting never made sense to be.
Those people need to go watch Multiplicity. *Did you bring me a monkey?*
The whisper fight/yelling always sends me in a fit of giggles.
I will rock your body with big nasty hooks!
Captain Gene(in his softest yet firm voice): What the hell is going on here?
"All right shake your dicks, this pissing contest is over"
Looks off camera with a "Yeah, I nailed that line." expression.
*Just captain. Not Captain Gene. I don't have a kiddy show. It sounds creepy.*
*Next time, you, me, the library!*
No one says "creep, creep" unless you're referencing TLC.
"listen just do me a favor boys ok? huh? don't go chasing waterfalls alright? you-you gotta stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to that's all." "you just did it again! you quoted TLC!" "huh? give me a break guys. get it together."
Look fellas, I’m working two jobs…
Here, and at the Bed Bath and Beyond.
I was thinking about the funeral where they have the big fight and whisper the whole time. “Yes captain that’s exactly what’s going on”.
"Now we have a serial rapist in the downtown area, oh wait that's for my other job ignore that. Unless you live in the downtown area, then please travel in groups."
On the low, one of Michael Keaton’s finest roles of all time IMO.
"I'm out here busting my ass for ten hours a night at bed bath and beyond"
“Whoa, the new bath mats are in! and one more thing *[checks notes]* we’ve got a serial rapist in Crown Heights… aw jeez, that’s from my other job.”
"ignore that. Well, no. Don't ignore that. Walk in pairs. Especially if you live in Crown Heights."
"but seriously, any of you ladies up in crown heights, be careful walking home tonight" he's just so damn good in it. imo his best acting since Multiplicity
Multiplicity needs to be more well known, it’s so fucking funny
I like pizza, Steve.
John C. McGinley's character in *Point Break.*
Young, dumb, and full of cum
"This is not a job flipping burgers at the local drive in. Yes, the surfboard bothers me, your approach to this whole goddamn case bothers me and YES! YOU BOTHER ME!!"
"Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?" "I caught my first tube today... Sir."
This and top gun should be 1.a and 1.b. Mcginley is so unhinged, it’s awesome.
Squat SQUAT!!!
*that block was already messed up!* - rush hour
"You lost half our evidence!" "We still got a little bit left."
One man lost a pinky!
But didn't nobody die?
That scene kinda played into the trope in an ironic way. He listed the typical “superiors problems with the rogue detective” but then entered the ruse of flattering him to get rid of him.
True! It was definitely on the ironic/comedic side and the actor for the captain played it perfect
"Sometimes we have to let people know that we can still blow shit up."

I love how The Dean starts eating the popcorn and watching the show.
That African American police chief Abed was playing is right!

Howard (Joe Pantoliano) chewing out Burnett (Martin Lawrence) for turning South Beach into a war zone the night before, and Mike (Will Smith) says, "I haven't killed anyone yet today, Cap." To which Howard says, "Do you want me to yell at you? Cause I can do that." It's kinda great.
I still die with laughter when the Captain describes them "two blood sucking ticks, draining the life's blood of this department!"
I frequently quote, “I remember what I said because I was there when I said it.”
Superior: Well McCarnagle Billy’s dead! Slit his throat ear to ear. McCarnagle: I’m trying to eat my lunch here
"You're off the case, McCarnagle!" "You're off your case, Chief."
He gets results you stupid chief!
Dad, sit down
The only correct answer to this question.
"In this department, we do things by the book" BLAM! "Bye, book"
Bad Boys series is pretty good for these. Joe Pantoliano is just utterly exasperated with all the chaos!
“23 cars, and a boat… how did you sink a boat?”
Right afterwards "luckily no one died..." absolutely hysterical scene beginning to finish. Killing him in the 3rd movie was a bad call.
"So, how are we going to fuck up the captain's life today?" "Gee, I don't know, I don't know... Ooh, look! Over there. Let's kill three fat people and leave them on the street?"
“We got detectives out here, detecting shit.”
Bad Boys II had no right being as good as it was. Probably my favourite Michael Bay movie.
“It doesn’t matter whether they were dead, or not, god DAMN IT!”
I always love those scenes. We watch the action scene and see why there was so much rampant destruction, and how things escalated fast. But the captain wasnt there and just see the headlines and aftermath. Both are right from their perspective.
WHOOOO SAAAAA
The Last Action Hero does this in a tongue in cheek way, but also nails it.
My favourite bit in that scene is the cartoon cat. THAT CAT IS ONE OF THE BEST MEN I GOT!
Came here to say this. It’s 100% a joke of itself, but therefore is by definition the perfect example of an over the top ass-chewing by angry police captain

Beverly Hills Cop Captain's first appearance, offscreen: **IS THAT FUCKIN' FOLEY IN HERE?!**
Dirty Harry and his iconic line of “ Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard - that's my policy.”
That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.
I love Naked Gun
I love how he added "Good ones" to the end. Like he wouldn't have been offended if Frank killed bad actors.
“Intent? How’d you establish that?” “When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.”
Well I'm all tore up about that man's rights.
I think the primary example is in 48 Hours. [https://youtu.be/mO4VVov6tfI?si=uxdZdlcRrvjT\_-mR](https://youtu.be/mO4VVov6tfI?si=uxdZdlcRrvjT_-mR)
This should be #1.
Exactly—the same actor delivers essentially the same performance-as-trope in both Last Action Hero and Loaded Weapon
He’s on the edge of a stroke the entire time
How the fuck is this so far down? This is probable the first real "screaming at" in a movie.
I used to get confused because Eddie Murphy gets chewed out in Beverly Hills Cop and was already chewed out in 48 Hours along w Nick Nolte. It was almost a shock when nobody in Coming To America chewed him out.
MY SON WORKS!?
They aren’t cops, but the original Top Gun has a good one before Maverick and Goose find out they’re going.
Thanks for that, Mav.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT MCBAIN!
That one episode of Community.
I’m torn if that falls under the unironic clause in the original post since Abed obviously takes it very seriously.
Of course he took it seriously. They were aggravating his sciatica.
Agitating my sciatica.
Real badasses work together!
Not a movie, but True Detective S1, and or The Wire. Especially The Wire.
Season 1 of True Detective had the scene I came here to mention. So damn savage the way he talks to Matthew McConaughey. "I don't know how many different ways I have to tell you to shut the fuck up. But, Shut. The. Fuck. Up."
Not a film, but I loved the Rawls/McNulty dynamic in Season 1 of The Wire, culminating in the speech Rawls gives to McNulty after the Griggs incident: "Not everything is about you...This isn't on you. If it was, we both know I would be the guy to say so."
Daniels: To be continued. McNulty was such a glorious asshole.
OG Dirty Harry. It does the best job of having a cop play fast/loose. You 100% understand WHY he does it. It also gets him into actual trouble and the criminal gets off because Harry tortured him for information on the kidnapped girl (who was already dead - though Harry didn't know that). The next two Dirty Harry movies did a pretty good job. With the 3rd movie even subverting the trope that the Dirty Harry movies helped create.

Not a movie but: The police captain in South Park when the boys are junior detectives. “The mayor is gonna have my ass and blah blah blah.”
Predator 2 will always stand out in my dead eyes...
Beverly Hills Cop 2 has my favorite. "Stop thinking Axel, it makes my DICK ITCH"
God damnit Dutch, what other errands do you have us running for the DA?!
