Flashed Badge Hijack: Difference between revisions

** And in the sequel, the same guy ends up getting his boat commandeered by a member of the LAPD - in the middle of the Caribbean (The man points out how inherently absurd this is as it happens). But it ends better for him this time - not only is the boat still intact at the end of the movie, he ends up finding the parcel of stolen diamonds floating in international waters. Even if he doesn't get to keep them, he could probably demand a finder's fee from the original owners.

* Done twice in one scene in ''[[The Rock]]''. John Mason (Sean Connery) steals some rich guy's Hummvee to escape the FBI, so Agent Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) grabs the Ferrari right behind it. After a chase down the streets of San Francisco (which itself follows the [[Rule of Cool]] to the letter), the Ferrari gets crushed by a cable car, so Goodspeed then grabs a bystander's minibike.

'''Goodspeed''': It wasn't mine. Neither is this. (Steals the bike) }}

* Parodied in ''[[See No Evil Hear No Evil]]'' when a bad guy ''pretends'' to be a cop and tries this. The driver of the car demands to see a badge. The bad guy just gives up and produces his gun instead. The driver gives up his car, complete with a whimpered "Please don't kill me."

== [[Video Games]] ==

* As the cops in the video games ''[[True Crime]] The Streets of L.A.'' and ''[[True Crime]] New York City'' you do this constantly with witty comments.

'''Marcus Reed''': I'm sorry. (drives away) NO I'M NOT! }}

* The Space Marine Grey Knights in ''[[Dawn of War]]: Dark Crusade'' acknowledge an order to board a transport with "In the name of the Inquisition, we commandeer this vehicle!".
