Trivia
Burt's police car is either a 1984 or 1985 Dodge Diplomat AHB. See more »Goofs
Burt drives an unmarked Dodge Diplomat for the majority of the film yet when it gets shot at it becomes a Plymouth Gran Fury (note the grill). See more »Quotes
Captain: And any short time goof-off that doesn't bust his ass to bring this guy in, is going to be as popular around this precinct as a reggae band at a Ku Klux Klan rally.See more »
A police detective learns he is dying from a disease and decides to get himself killed in the line of duty so his wife and son can receive a handsome sum of money upon his demise. But getting himself killed is way harder than he thought. Although the film slows way too much down in the second half and gets overly sentimental there's more than a fair share of laughs to compensate. Dabney Coleman is terrific as usual and the rest of the cast support him well. Well worth catching.
