A cop getting screamed at by his boss in every rouge, I'll-do-it-my-own-way cop movie. They all have this scene.

The cop(s) in question always solve the case and their hunch is always right.

A trip to the strip club as well.

In the movie Network those harried police bosses are called "krusty but benign."

Did you ever think that maybe Beverly Hills Cop invented this trope?

[–] R_Kane (15828) 4 years ago

Yeah, ‘cause no lieutenant or commissioner ever chewed out Dirty Harry.

The world didn’t begin in 1984; and I prefer “cliche” over “trope.”

Also, no one “invents” a cliche. Someone creates an idea that others make into a cliche through lazy and unimaginative over-use, to be kind about it, or plagiarism, to get straight to the point.
