    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sylvester Stallone gained the necessary weight for the role by eating a steady diet of giant pancakes served at a local pancake house.
    • Goofs
      "Municipal" Sheriffs don't exist in the State of New Jersey. All Sheriffs in New Jersey are elected at the County Government level to a three-year term and are a Constiutional position. For a small town in New Jersey Freddy Heflin would have had to be the Police Chief or similar rank. It may also be noted that no police officers in New Jersey wear tan uniforms. That uniform is far more likely seen out in the Western states.

    • Crazy credits
      A police car's flashing light sweeps across the credits as they are displayed.
    • Alternate versions
      A newly released Special Edition DVD restores approximately 15 minutes of scenes that were cut or extended from the theatrical version.

    7/10
    Nice movie with great actors
    I didn't really know what to expect from "Cop Land".

    You have some expectations when actors like Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel star in this movie - but could Stallone be the quiet Sheriff? The answer is yes, Stallone did well in this movie, he showed that he isn't just an action star, he is a great actor.

    "Cop Land" had a nice story, but I think it had more potential. The movie could have lasted for 20-30 minutes more. It was a nice movie anyway, I will rate it 7/10.
