All the fancy weapons, like the razor frisbee and endorphin-draining harpoon, fail against Dolph's rubbery-faced kung-fu.

I Come In Peace is pretty much an all-time classic, thanks to inserting an alien thug into the standard buddy-cop cliches. There are two cops, and they don't get along even though they both have unorthodox methods for cleaning up the streets. And then it turns out the main baddie is an alien, who's just the first of millions of alien endorphin-harvesting drug dealers — unless Dolph and his partner Brian Benben can stop him. There are fight scenes, shootouts and car chases, all of it to the tunes of Miami Vice's Jan Hammer. Really, what's not to like? [IMDB]

<![CDATA[Ghost Cops Set Up At A&E]]> A&E is sending actual Chicago cops into the paranormal world, to investigate the other-worldly activities that may be happening. Fingers crossed for barefoot meth-faced ghost chase scenes.

I'm from Chicago, and you do not screw around with the Chi-town cops. So these ghosts are in for a world of trouble if they get up to the same shenanigans that regular nutcases on Cops try to pull. Flashlight ends at the ready, slimer, they're not here to fuck around — now tell me how many beers did you have tonight sir?

This would be the next ghostly show on A&E following Paranormal State. While I'm not so keen on Paranormal State, I think Paranormal Cops could be pretty spectacular, but only if you work with the hardened city cops that are ready to bring these spirits downtown.
