Good Cop Bad Cop

Good Cop Bad Cop is one of a handful of 90's films that were promoted around the sex appeal of the world's number one pinup of the time, Pamela Anderson. Like all of the other flicks, Anderson once again is the best thing about this one. Truthfully, her role here is not much more than an excuse for her to strip off for a couple of soft-core sex scenes. I guess, strictly speaking, many people will think this this isn't enough of a reason for the film to exist and fair enough. But to be honest, I find Pammy very attractive and always get a kick out of watching her in sexy roles. And this film is no different. Aside from Anderson, we have a really quite stupid plot-line that I can't in all honesty be bothered summarising. The lead actor is David Keith who I thought was really terrible quite honestly. He looked like he had been dragged through a hedge and his character was unbelievably unsympathetic. Amazingly, he is the 'good cop' of the title, yet his heavy handed tactics like smashing up a bondsman's office with a baseball bat, punching innocent people out and treating Anderson's character with a fair degree of misogyny means that I couldn't help but think that the film should really have been called 'Bad Cop, Marginally Better Cop'. The cast is rounded off with three other B-Movie regulars, Charles 'Supervixens' Napier, Robert 'Airplane!' Hays and Stacy 'Longriders' Keach; all of whom do what is needed and no more, yet all are preferable to David Keith.

The film is an action thriller, yet it definitely plays things for comedy value quite a bit so it's fairly light-hearted mostly. If it wasn't blessed with a couple of hot Pamela Anderson erotic scenes, I am guessing I would have marked this one down a notch or two but she saves it from irrelevance and gives it its lasting interest value. It's overall a bit of dumb fun though.

if you want to see great acting. This is the sort of movie which has an obvious appeal to some. It's not the quality of acting. But if you watched this movie to see fine Shakespearean actors giving their all, then I have no pity for you. The movie is fun on a few levels, but should in no way be taken seriously.

Once you have witnessed the scene where Pamela (as a hooker??? how cheesy is that... at least the director knows why we are watching this crap...) gets the job done, you have no more reason to keep watching this atrocity... I put a 3/10 but for a girl or anyone who thinks Pam is ugly, this movie is not even worth that...

Would've loved to be David Keith for this movie. After Pam and he get chased by the baddies they hid out beside a shed. They decided to make a bit of love to pass the time. Soon enough Pam has her top over her head and Keith has his face on her breasts. He licks his way down to her ass. He takes off her short skirt and licks her some more. Then he gets up and does her from behind. Fantastic scene even if the rest of the movie isn't up to much. There's another scene at the end where Pam and the other fella do a bit of riding. Not as good as the first bit but still enjoyable. No doubt Pam makes the movie as good as it is. Must say though that the first scene is one of the best sex scenes i've ever seen.

I have to agree with a lot of the comments on this film. To have good character actors such as Robert Hays (Airplane movies), Charles Napier (Rambo II), David Keith (Officer & Gentleman, U-571), and Stacy Keach (too many to list); you would expect better acting. But maybe they were actually making fun on this genre of a movie. The music for some of the scenes was actually comical. The plot of the movie is basic and definitely predictable. The sound effects doesn't always match the scene. Several times you hear the cocking of the hammer of a revolver but you see the gun is not even cocked. And speaking of the revolvers, where did they get those antiques? The main bad guy is the only one who is even using a semi-auto pistol and he can't even hit the side of a barn except in one scene; two shots, two dead. But despite all of the errors and predictability, I actually somewhat enjoyed watching this flick. And of course you had Pamela Anderson for eye candy. This film is from 1995 so she actually looks great (ala Baywatch) and not as she looks today.
