** The paltry amount of money ($15 million) at stake in the first film is also an example, as is the way nobody even discussed the much simpler and cheaper possibility of using an ''actual'' female cop as the decoy in the second.

* CounterpartComparison: With his burly physique once again, Brian Dennehy channels the ComicBook/{{Batman}} character Detective Harvey Bullock through his role as Leo [=McCarthy=], albeit the Post-Crisis CowboyCop ally interpretation of the character, while Dennehy had previously channeled the Pre-Crisis DirtyCop antagonist interpretation of Bullock as Sheriff Will Teasle in ''Film/FirstBlood''. When the [=McCarthy=] is introduced, he is shown sleeping in his messy apartment room before getting a call from his precinct over a crime scene, which is something expected from a character like Bullock who in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' was compared by butler Alfred Pennyworth to an unmade bed. Then in the sequel, Leo became a private detective, much like how Bullock in the comics left the GCPD and become a private eye as well.
