''[[Bon Cop, Bad Cop]]'' is a Canadian [[Buddy Cop Show|Buddy Cop]] movie by Erik Canuel focusing on an [[Odd Couple]] formed between a French-speaking cop from Quebec and an English-speaking cop from Ontario.
 
It starts out with a dead body that has been found hanging from a street sign demarcating the border between Ontario and Quebec. [[Da Chief]]s of both provincial polices, eager to foster the spirit of cooperation and to keep this case out of the federal RCMP's hands (so it looks good come budget times), assign two of their officers as partners to crack the case. From the ''Sureté Dude Québec'' is David Bouchard (played by [[Patrick Huard]]), a chain-smoking, rules-breaking violent [[Cowboy Cop]] with an attitude. He finds himself partnered with Martin Ward ([[Colm Feore]]) of the ''Ontario Provincial Police'', a "square-head" whom even his son finds dull.
 
Much of the movie's humor comes from how it plays with the stereotypes English-speaking Canadians have of French-speaking ''Québecois'' – and, of course, vice-versa. The movie guest-stars numerous personalities from both sides of Canada such as [[Rick Mercer]] as an [[Expy]] of [[Hockey Night in Canada|Don Cherry]] and [[Louis-José Houde]] as a [[Motor Mouth]] coroner.
