Short description

Earl Montgomery, a bombastic police academy reject, and Hank Rafferty, a disgraced, mild-mannered cop, can't seem to escape each other. They met on opposite sides of the law during a routine traffic stop that escalated out of control; now as lowly security guards they're thrown together to bust a smuggling operation.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The DVD version of the film features a different ending.
  • Steve Zahn shaved the front of his hair to look as intimidating as possible. Both the hairstyle and the actor's appearance were copied from real police officers that Zahn had specifically studied. One evening, the actor and his brother went to a bar and noticed that people were trying to stay away from them. The actor's brother told him: "That's because they think you're a cop. Just plainclothes."
  • Martin Lawrence's character wields a Glock 17 modified for fully automatic fire. The Glock 18 C pistol has a selector switch for firing modes.
  • Over 400,000 bottles of beer and soft drinks were used as props during the warehouse shootout scene.
