The Other Guys
Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are pursuing a group of criminals in a Cadillac Escalade. After a brief firefight that results in the hood of Highsmith's Chevy Chevelle getting blown into the windshield, the two inadvertently crash into the side of a double decker bus. Danson drives it after the criminals and meticulously slingshots the trapped car out the other side of the bus (with Highsmith firing the whole time) and crashing into the Trump Tower, inexplicably surviving. The criminals manage to get away, until police backup quickly arrives and arrests them.
Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) is a forensic accountant who is more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, but idolizes Danson and Highsmith. Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) has been stuck with Allen as his partner for the past seven years ever since he shot Derek Jeter during the World Series. Allen and Hoitz receive no respect from the other officers, who trick Allen into firing his gun in the office (a "desk pop"), leaving him with a wooden practice gun as punishment. During a pursuit of a group of professional bank robbers, Danson and Highsmith die when they jump off a 20-story building onto the sidewalk, inexplicably agreeing to aim for bushes that aren't there.....More!
