| Cop Out | comment |
Cop Out is a 2010 Buddy cop spoof staring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. To date, it's the only feature Kevin Smith directed without having written.Willis is Jimmy Monroe, a grizzled, no-nonsense cop, and Morgan is his partner Paul Hodges, a somewhat abrasive, feelings-on-his-sleeve cop. A botched undercover operation (which in turn jeopardizes a huge drug sting two other cops are organizing) results in the two getting suspended from the force just before Jimmy's daughter has a huge wedding that Jimmy was hoping to pay for. Frustrated, he goes to sell a prize baseball card to get the cash needed for the wedding. Of course, things go even further south for Jimmy when the card then gets stolen along with one of Paul's guns.Not to be confused with the French movie Le Samouraï, which was released under the title Cop Out in some parts of the US. Also not connected to Writer Cop Out. | |

| Cop Out / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Subverted. Jimmy says "...couple of dicks" early in the movie. However, the title has been changed to Cop Out. | |

The Rival | |
| Cop Out / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rivals: Officers Hunsaker and Mangold, to Paul and Jimmy. It's their investigation that the opening screwup ruins, and there's obviously some rivalry there throughout the whole movie. They don't let it get in the way of their jobs, though; they vouch for Paul and Jimmy when it turns out their interference saves their lives. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Cop Out / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Literally. Paul is shown early on in the movie to keep a bunch of extra guns in his car. Just before the big shootout during the climax, he arms up with as many as he can carry. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Initially invoked when Dave is apparently killed when he falls out of tree and breaks his neck. However, the credit scene shows that he gets better when he plays a nasty prank on the coroner. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Given how odd Paul acts much of the time, yet manages to be effective, it's likely his captain just looks the other way except (as in the beginning) when he majorly fouls up. | |

Curse Cut Short: In a sequence when Jimmy is discussing what a homeowner should do while Jimmy and Paul apprehend someone breaking in to their house, due to the presence of her son. Resulting in Jimmy letting loose with a Cluster F-Bomb that's literally a cluster of "F"s. | |
