Edgy Cop 2: Electric Boogaloo

I just recently realized how much I miss the old 70's to 80's edgy cop movies. You know, the ones where there's always the cops who never get along at first, because one never plays by the rules and the other is a loose cannon. Yeah those. What ever happened to them? They really were fun to watch and even invented a genre called "Buddy Cop Movies". That genre even broke out of the cop on the edge thing and went into other genres too. MIB was a Buddy Cop Movie. Pulp Fiction was technically a Buddy Cop Movie. Starsky And Hutch was a very bad buddy cop movie based on a cop on the edge TV show.

So, I'm just saying. Let's bring back edgy buddy cop movies, where everyone has mustaches and aviators and ridiculous nicknames. I think that could bring back some life into the police films, since all the ones that recently came out with like Robert Dinero and Al Pacchino kinda fell flat. Trying too hard to be dark and mysterious. Just go back to lots of explosions and mustaches.

Please.
