Line 9:

=== This film features examples of: ===
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** Hoitz is basically [[The Departed|Dignam]], reassigned and demoted instead of {{spoiler|left on his own to kill off Sullivan}} as per [[Reality Ensues]]. {{spoiler|Bonus points for Gamble ambushing Hoitz in his own apartment.}}
*** Also, when Terry is in group therapy for officers who have had to fire their weapons in the line of duty, everyone but him is extremely proud of themselves. In ''[[The Departed]]'', [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]'s character tells his therapists that cops who cry about having to fire a weapon is something made-up for tv, and that real cops love it.
** He could also be the [[Max Payne (film)|other]] Wahlberg's cop role.
** And Gamble yelling at length about injuries (or even a ''hangover'') comes all the way from his role in the first two [[Austin Powers]] movies.
*** Speaking of hangovers, Rob Riggle demands his taser back from a class of schoolchildren, parodying his [[One-Scene Wonder]] role in ''[[The Hangover]]''.
** While doing [[Samuel L. Jackson]]'s paperwork, Will Farrell hums the theme from ''S.W.A.T.'' Jackson played Hondo in [[The Movie]].
* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Samuel L. Jackson]] and [[Dwayne Johnson]] taking their typecast roles.
** Somewhat the case as well with Mark Wahlberg, who has started to parody the perception that he's a [[Hot-Blooded]] jerk.
