The Cool Cop: Rick Deckard
Coolest Moment: Deckard chases a snake-loving replicant through the streets of a futuristic Los Angeles before finally managing to ‘retire’ her.
If He'd Been From Blighty: It all would’ve been a much politer affair, with a pre-retirement discussion over scones and tea.
Midnight Run (1988)

The Dark Knight (2008)
The Cool Cop: Lieutenant James Gordon
Coolest Moment: When he’s held capture by Two Face, Gordon pleads for his family’s life...
If He'd Been From Blighty: He’d be helping out Captain Britain instead of Batman. Which would suck. Royally.
Training Day (2001)
The Cool Cop: Detective Alonzo Harris
Coolest Moment: “You disloyal, fool-ass bitch-made punk.” Harris lets rip on a gun-wielding bad guy . Boom!
If He'd Been From Blighty: That line reading would have sounded a whole lot different.
Hot Fuzz (2007)

Coolest Moment: Bullitt’s car appears in the rear-view mirror of the crims, and the car chase to end all car chases kicks off.

Die Hard (1988)
The Cool Cop: John McClane
Coolest Moment: McClane does some serious damage to the elevator in his attempt to bring down the terrorists.
If He'd Been From Blighty: His outfit wouldn’t so much consist of a white wife-beater as a white wife-beater paired with lots of gold jewellery and a tattoo of his wife’s name on his arm.
Dirty Harry (1971)
The Cool Cop: SFPD Inspector Harry Callahan
Coolest Moment: While out having lunch at a diner, Callahan comes across an in-progress robbery, takes out three of the culprits and confronts the fourth with a seriously bad-ass attitude.

French Connection (1971)
The Cool Cop: Popeye Doyle
Coolest Moment: Doyle races through the city in his car, attempting to keep up with a Metro train – at all costs .
If He'd Been From Blighty: The congestion charge would have crippled his citywide car chase.

Coolest Moment: RoboCop takes on the OCP headquarters alone, destroys the massive guard-bot ED-209 and storms the building. Talk about a hero.
