MovieCynics: Batman should count… after all, Ra’s Al Ghul does call him Detective. just saying 😛
Nevermore23: I guess i’d say Hellboy is one, idk if its my all time favorite. Technically he’s a Police of the supernatural. right? haha

wwjedd: Black Mask came to my contrarian mind
wyldride: Apocalypse Now. 😉 #seebcvietnamwarcalledapoliceactionikidikid

BenjMartin: Does Die Hard count? If so, surely Die Hard. If not, Bad Boys 2.
davidlucio: WHOA WHOA WHOA, Die Hard counts!? I change my vote — “Die Hard: With A Vengeance” hands down! #YippeeKiYay
dragoness0420: Die Hard. All of them. 🙂
Hugo_Fuchs: – Best Police Action movie … Die Hard or Lethal Weapon.
juancornejo: Die Hard
kurall_creator: That has to be Die Hard, there isn’t a doubt in my mind about that –
MadeiraBoo: Does Die Hard count?
AyeQue: i didnt count die hard
moviesbybowes: What’s the penalty for saying anything other than DIE HARD?
oldgamereviewer: Die Hard’s the greatest, and it’s not even close.

wizmatts: Super Cop
captainplanetfd: Best Police action movie? Supercop.
bltjesus: Does Super Cop count?
PoisonLolita: Does Infernal Affairs count?
DagobertoMendez: would walking tall count?
P1LaughingMan: The Untouchables … Timecop
Tweek_Robles Does Time Cop count LOL Jet Li in ONE or RoboCop ALL RoboCops & Beverly Hills Cops!! LOL

ActionChick: Some asked if Super Cop, Die Hard, Infernal Affairs, Walking Tall, Time Cop (that 1 was a joke) count – why wouldn’t they?
OnyxSparrow: It is a valid point. Does a “Cop Movie” count if the hero(ine) isn’t acting directly as a cop, they just happen to be one?
BenjMartin: “cop movie” has to mean you actually see protagonist acting as a cop. You don’t really see that in Die Hard

Tweek_Robles How can anyone question Die Hard?! #1 ppl!! Geez
ActionChick: Not sure. Because he was off duty?
AyeQue: YUP THAts why i didnt count it
agidgetwidget: IMO, focus on POLICE action films narrows down the field a lot… “Die Hard” is more LAW ENFORCEMENT, TRUE LIES a SPY flick…
kurall_creator: its still Die Hard! I can’t think of anything because the only other movie that I have boycotted the other police action movie because of Mel Gibson’s recent controversies!
dragoness0420: I stick with my original response. Die Hard. All of them. 🙂
Tweek_Robles Personally I think of a Cop Movie when the main character is a – Cop 😉
RHINO134 Are PD & FD ever really off duty?
