* DoWrongRight: The Chief's main problem with the Copelands. He's not necessarily ''against'' them going all CowboyCop, but he'd appreciate it if they at least catch the ''actual criminals'' in the course of causing collateral damage. He's very happy when they actually manage that much at the end of the movie.

Awkward pothole to deptecated trope name


* BlackIsBiggerInBed: Latrell's line "Once you go black, you're gonna need a wheelchair!" implies that he's too aggressive at sex with white girls, rendering them unable to walk -- whether permanently or temporarily is left unrevealed. Alternately, and more likely, it's a BiggusDickus joke referencing the racial stereotype that black guys are bigger in bed.

Not wanting to lose their jobs, Marcus and Kevin decide their only option is to go undercover as the Wilson sisters. HilarityEnsues.
