Cop Land is a 1997 crime drama written and directed by James Mangold, starring Sylvester Stallone, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niro.The story follows Freddy Heflin (Stallone), a New Jersey sheriff who is charged with keeping order in a tight-knit community of New York police officers. Such a neighborhood might be expected to handle its own business, and this is exactly how the residents see it. Thus, Heflin's authority is rarely taken seriously and he is often dismissed by the locals.Matters around town are complicated when one of its members is involved in a questionable off-duty shooting and goes missing. It doesn't take long for Internal Affairs to come sniffing around in the form of Moe Tilden (De Niro), who thanks to jurisdiction must rely almost entirely on Heflin for his investigation to bear any fruit. Consequently, Heflin finds himself pulled in multiple directions, as more facts about the case—and about the town itself—begin rising to the surface. | |

Title Drop | |
| Cop Land / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Moe Tilden (De Niro) refers to the community in Freddy Heflin's (Stallone) jurisdiction as "Cop Land." He ends up dropping the tagline in one of his narrations as well. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Cop Land / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Figgsy burns down his own house in a way that makes it come off like an accidental electrical fire to get the insurance money for it which he could then use to leave with his girlfriend Monica and get a fresh new start elsewhere. Unfortunately, while the fire worked well enough that no one other than Freddy realized it was arson and Figgsy got the insurance money, Monica had come by earlier that evening (Figgsy had planned to do it that day because she’d be at a friend’s house) wanting to tell Figgsy something, and ended up getting caught in the fire and dying from the severe burns she sustained. Figgsy’s reaction when he sees her die and his state of grief afterwards makes it clear he deeply regrets what happened, not even being sure whether it was worth it. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Cop Land / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Moe Tilden deliberately insults and pisses Freddy off, expecting him to start an investigation in his own town, where Tilden has no jurisdiction; and that said investigation will stir up the dirty cops enough for them to make errors and give IA a new boost in their own case. He's right on every count. | |

Worst News Judgment Ever | |
| Cop Land / int_43964f3 | comment |
Worst News Judgment Ever: Averted. The camera zooms out from the paper Heflin is reading to show the stories related to the incident completely fill two pages. He then closes the paper to reveal the front page is devoted to it as well. The exposure of an entire town packed with corrupt cops which is then involved in a massive gunfight would probably be pretty big local news. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tilden might be curt and somewhat abrasive but he’s dedicated to his job and wants to expose the charade that Garrison really is. Figgis also qualifies for this as well as he is the only one who takes Freddy seriously and he eventually puts aside his own selfish reasons to help him bring down Ray. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Tilden may sound like an asshole when he grills Freddy about not really being a cop and not having much to do in patrolling the town, but he is right the locals have no respect for his authority, and due to the town being populated with cops, (who are backed by the mob) criminals just avoid it at all costs. | |

Idiot Ball: Yes, the shooting was unjustified and Murray was driving drunk and Donlan's group used corrupt means to cover up what really happened, but it was still a very dumb move for the motorist to brandish a steering wheel lock at Murray as if it was a shotgun after Murray showed him his badge, which should have clued him in that Murray could be armed. | |

| Cop Land / int_94e7d8f | comment |
Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: The initial shooting happens because a drunk-driving Murray thinks one of the victims shot out one of his tires, when in fact the victim was taunting him with a steering wheel lock and the tire was popped by a leftover shard of glass from the beer bottle that Murray crushed while leaving a parking lot. Jack is then caught trying to plant evidence of a gun in the car to try to vindicate him. | |

Extreme Doormat: Freddy once again. His admiration for the NYPD, Ray and the fact he looks the other way when they commit criminal acts just reeks of subservience. Freddy has hearing problems, but his aim with a pistol establishes that his vision is outstanding, so there's no doubt whatsoever that he saw and identified Babitch looking at him in the back of Ray's car. Not to mention he has no problem with the fact they have VERY little respect his authority. | |

Loophole Abuse: Tilden explains in his opening narration how transit cops were the only cops allowed to take up residence outside of New York (since the Transit Authority is partly run by New Jersey and Connecticut). Donlan's group worked overtime in subway stations to get themselves designated "auxiliary transit cops", which allowed them to set up shop in Garrison. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Cop Land / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: A couple of cases as the film reaches its climax. As Freddy starts ramping up his investigation, Cindy Betts requests a transfer back to her old job, as she's tired of dealing with the overwhelming corruption in Garrison and she doesn't want to have to deal with the trouble the NYPD will bring her if she assists Freddy. When Freddy manages to capture Murray Babitch, Bill Geisler expresses a nervous desire to return home to his pregnant wife, rather than stand guard and potentially await the wrath of Ray and his subordinates. Figgsy skips town after burning down his house and obtaining the insurance money, telling Freddy that he wants a clean start. He changes his mind by the end of the film. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Cop Land / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Garrison, New Jersey, is depicted as a relatively suburban-looking town that just so happens to be across the river from New York City. In truth, towns and localities immediately surrounding New York (a city of close to 9 million people, mind you) are heavily urbanized. | |

Jerkass: Most of the Dirty Cops are this but Randone and Rucker take the cake as the both of them are MASSIVE douches especially Randone as he not only physically and verbally his wife but cheats on her with Ray’s wife Rose... | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
| Cop Land / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad "Bad Acting": Ray yelling "Oh my God! He jumped!" to fake Murray's suicide is... less than convincing. It's because he's distracting everyone from the fact that Murray's actually hiding in his car. | |

Faking the Dead | |
| Cop Land / int_f9876f7e | comment |
Faking the Dead: After an attempt to plant fake evidence fails, Murray and the dirty cops fake the former's suicide by pretending he jumped off the bridge while hiding in the back of one of their cars. | |
