Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blue Steel is a 1989 crime thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Ron Silver, Clancy Brown, Louise Fletcher, Elizabeth Peña, and Kevin Dunn.Megan Turner (Curtis) is a rookie NYPD officer. When she stumbles upon a grocery store holdup, shooting and killing the perpetrator (a young Tom Sizemore), his weapon is taken by Eugene Hunt (Silver), a Wall Street trader who both discovers that he enjoys killing people and becomes infatuated with the female cop. Hunt manages to start a relationship with Megan, but when she finds out he's the killer they've been looking for, a cat-and-mouse game ensues, as the psychopath turns to increasingly violent means to try and evade capture.Not to be confused with the 1934 western film of the same name starring John Wayne, or with Derek Zoolander's look.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ax-Crazy: Eugene Hunt is a commodities trader and by all outward appearances a normal person, but under the cover of night he goes on a killing rampage after he acquires a .44 Magnum from a robber whom the protagonist, rookie cop Megan Turner, shoots early in the film. By the final act of the film he has gone completely ballistic and shoots and kills Megan's friend and later sneaks into her house, strips himself completely naked and brutally rapes her shortly after she has consensual sex with a fellow officer.
