Thinking about all the different cop movies, I'm struck by the wonderful variety of detectives who catch criminals, solve crimes, get in car chases and shootouts, all that stuff. So that made me wonder, what TV/Film character would I want to be paired up with? What would I carry for a sidearm? And, perhaps most important to me, what would I drive?
Only rule for this discussion is that all choices must be "realistic," i.e., not sci-fi weapons, alien partners, etc., nor any superhero/cyborgs, etc. All real cars, real guns, and real humans.
My choices:
Partner: Serpico. Honest, hard worker, a bit too flashy with the outfits, but a solid backup man with a good mind.
Gun: I'm a plain kind of guy who wants something reliable, not too flashy, and with a story behind it. John Ryder's (Rutger Hauer's) S&W Model 28 from "The Hitcher" fits the bill perfectly.
Car: So many to choose from, but my heart always goes back to my love for the white 1985 Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice. (Also, I think Serpico could dig the ride.)
What would you choose?
