Cop or Hood (Flic ou voyou in French) is a 1979 French gangster/action/comedy film directed by Georges Lautner (Les Tontons flingueurs, Le Professionnel) and written by Jean Herman and Michel Audiard.Stanislas "Stan" Borowitz (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a divisional commissioner from the IGPN (Inspection Générale de la Police Nationale) who's known for using particularly expeditious methods to catch the 'ripoux' (French slang for 'corrupt cops'). Under the identity of a thug named "Antonio Cerruti", he gets sent to the city of Nice to take the local organized crime networks down and enquire on the murder of a notoriously corrupt commissioner.Borowitz soon triggers a gang war between the two biggest local mob bosses, Théodore Musard aka "the Auvergnat" and Achille Volfoni aka "the Corsican", and corrupt police inspectors Rey and Massard, on the payroll of Volfoni, absolutely want to harm him. | |

| Cop or Hood / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: Early on in the film, a gang of thugs threaten Borowitz with a switchblade, a razor blade and a wrench as he's spending the night on a roadside. They ask for his money then order him to strip, which he starts doing until he reveals his revolver's holster. Oh, Crap! ensues from them, they try to flee as he shoots their car's windshield and headlights, then he stops them and forces them to strip. | |

Gasoline Dousing: As part of the False Flag Operation, Borowitz brings gasoline jerricans to the bar operated by the Langlois couple, empties them all over the place and sets it all on fire on (false) behalf of Théodore "L'Auvergnat" Musard. He spares the life of the Langlois so they'll repeat around them that Musard ordered this. | |
