-->'''Captain Logan:''' You are the detectives. Go and detect!

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: Danny and Anna get back together after he rescues her from Julio]].

-->'''Danny:''' (''to Julio, after he's kidnapped Anna'') If you hurt that lady, you'll never be dead enough.

-->'''Danny:''' You happy since the divorce?
-->'''Anna:''' No... yes! How about you?
-->'''Danny:''' Great. Wonderful. You want to go to bed with me?
-->'''Anna:''' Yes... no!

-->'''Danny:''' Oh, sure. Nag at me! Nagging's good! You still owe me ten bucks and I never said anything!
-->'''Ray:''' You want it now?
-->'''Danny:''' YEAH, I WANT IT NOW!

-->'''Anna:''' You can't be a kid your whole life, you're gonna have to grow up!
-->'''Danny:''' Why? I don't like grown-ups!
* MirandaRights: Done [[RuleOfThree three times]]. First, when two crooks try to rob them (see MuggingTheMonster below):
-->'''Danny:''' (''after reading their rights to them straight'') You have the right to a continental breakfast. You have the right to the beverage of your choice from the precinct coffee shop.

-->'''Danny:''' Now fellas, this is just me talking, but I would rather get shot with one of those pissant .22's than with my .38. (''the crooks say halfheartedly they'll shoot, then run'')
-->'''Ray:''' Pointing a gun at a police officer; can we waste them for that?
-->'''Danny:''' I think so.

-->'''Danny:''' (''after seeing all the cop cars'') Garcia, I said one backup! '''One''' backup! You bring the Rose Parade!
-->'''Sergeant Garcia:''' You never called for a backup before! We figured...(''[[ItMakesSenseInContext starts laughing when he sees Danny and Ray aren't wearing any pants]]'')...we figured it was a riot.

-->'''Ray:''' Number Five, would you step forward please? (''Snake reluctantly steps forward'')
-->'''Danny:''' (''[[BriefAccentImitation pretending to be an old man witness]]'') That's him! That's the one!
-->'''Ray:''' Now, you have to be absolutely positive, sir.
-->'''Danny:''' (''as old man'') I am absolutely positive! Who could forget that face? I saw it through the screen!
-->'''Ray:''' Turn to the right, please. (''Danny turns'') No, not you sir. Number Five
-->'''Snake:''' What the hell is this, man?
-->'''Ray:''' Just do as you're told, Number Five! (''Snake reluctantly turns to his right'')
-->'''Danny:''' (''as old man'') That is definitely the one! You bastard!

* ShoutOut: When Danny gets an idea on how to get Snake to come along with them, he tells Ray, "[[Film/TheTerminator I will be back]]," while [[BriefAccentImitation imitating the voice.]] Also, when [[BriefAccentImitation pretending to be a stool pigeon]], he claims to be watching ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''.

** UngratefulBastard: This is such an EmbarrassingRescue for Danny and Ray that they maintain it was Montoya and Sigliano who screwed things up...at least until Captain Logan calls them out on it by playing the tape of what really happened.

-->'''Lab Tech:''' (''examining a bag of seized 'cocaine''') This is shit. This stuff is pure shit!
-->'''Ray:''' You mean good shit?
-->'''Lab Tech:''' I mean bad shit.
-->'''Ray:''' Bad shit as in, "this shit is bad"?
-->'''Lab Tech:''' I mean shit-shit! This shit isn't worth shit! There's barely enough coke in here to attract the dogs. Anybody selling this shit out on the streets would get killed.

Not to be confused with the [[Film/RunningScared action film starring]] Creator/PaulWalker; this is more of an action comedy.

This film contains examples of:

** Anna, frustrated at Danny's ManChild tendencies, calls him "Literature/PeterPan" at one point.

Danny Costanzo (Crystal) and Ray Hughes (Hines) are two [[CowboyCop cowboy cops]] in Chicago who are after Julio Gonzalez (Smits), a big-time drug dealer. They manage to arrest Gonzalez, but at the cost of scuttling a DEA operation against Gonzalez, and so their boss, Captain Logan (Hedaya) orders them to go on vacation. The two of them end up in Florida, and to their surprise, end up enjoying life there. Danny convinces Ray they should retire there and open up a bar. However, when they get back to Chicago to tell the captain they're quitting, they find out Gonzalez is back on the street. They're both determined to arrest Gonzalez again, but Danny's no longer sure he wants to be a CowboyCop anymore.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Danny and Ray do this quite a bit, as when their car is being crushed by a garbage truck:

** In Florida, when asked where he's from, Danny says, "[[Film/StarWars I come from a planet far, far away.]]"

-->'''Anna:''' Why can't you grow up?

* ShoutOut: When Danny gets an idea on how to get Snake to come along with them, he tells Ray, "[[Film/TheTerminator I will be back]]," while [[BriefAccentImitation imitating the voice.]]
