Buddy Cop Film
Buddy cop is a film and television genre with plots involving two people of very different and conflicting personalities who are forced to work together to solve a crime and/or defeat criminals, sometimes learning from each other in the process. The two are normally either police officers (''cops'') or secret agents, but some films or tv series that are not about two officers may still be referred to as ''buddy cop films/tv series''. It is a subgenre of buddy films. They can be either comedies or action-thrillers. Frequently, although not always, the two heroes are of different ethnicity or cultures. However, regardless of ethnicity, the central difference is normally that one is "wilder" than the other: a hot-tempered iconoclast is paired with a more even-tempered partner. Often the "wilder" partner is the younger of the two, with the even-tempered partner having more patience and experience. These films sometimes also contain a variation on the good cop/bad cop motif, in whic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
