Here's a funny story... I rented the VHS, and accidentally put in Tape 2, but didn't realize it until it ended of course.. Then a week later I started college, met a girl who not only loved Supertramp (2 songs in the movie), but our favorite director was Kubrick, and after telling her, she said "Come over and we'll watch it the right way"
I almost felt like the cop, like I didn't deserve to be hanging out with the most beautiful girl on earth. I think maybe most people don't like him because people think that a cop should be a superhero, and not ordinary. He was annoying at times being redundant, but a ton of people are annoying. I think it's a Top 3 movie of the 90s, and think PTA definitely drew inspiration from Nashville - even used Henry Gibson!
