| Bad Eggs | comment |
Bad Eggs is a "deadly serious comedy" about corrupt cops in Melbourne, Australia, released in 2003. It straddles the line between drama and comedy with the same deftness as Hot Fuzz, which in some respects it resembles. Stars Mick Molloy, Bob Franklin, Judith Lucy and a slew of other Australian comedians and veteran actors, and directed by Tony Martin; the same team would go on to make Crackerjack and BoyTown, which are much more overt comedies. Compare the Swedish film Kopps. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Bad Eggs / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Premier Lionel Cray is former Premier Jeff Kennett. Cray's slogan, "the state on the go", echoes Kennett's, "Victoria - on the move". | |

No Backwards Compatibility in the Future: Northey's database is "an old '70s system that no one's compatible with." Although when Ben accesses it, it's clearly running Windows 98. | |

Revealing Cover-Up | |
| Bad Eggs / int_a1b0c1c2 | comment |
Revealing Cover-Up: Ben and Mike were investigating casino boss Marcus Ridgeway, and the Poulgrain disaster results in the case being given to another detective. Unfortunately for the plotters, though, it starts them looking into the Poulgrain case, which ends up being tied to Ridgeway and exposing enough corruption to bring down the government. | |
