Der Chaoten-Cop (1990)
15KDer Chaoten-Cop: Directed by James D. Parriott. With Bob Hoskins, Denzel Washington, Chloe Webb, Roger E. Mosley. A racist cop receives a heart transplant from a black lawyer he hates, who returns as a ghost to ask the cop to help take down the men who murdered him.
“An easy way to tick off Hoskins or Washington when you meet them may be your mentioning of this movie to them. I saw it at itu0026#39;s Los Angeles premiere and it contained ONE funny scene, which consisted of Hoskins trying to wrest a cheeseburger from spirit Washington. The movie was unfunny, racially offensive(I didnu0026#39;t appreciate the u0026quot;endowmentu0026quot; comment that Washington made) and dramatically untrue in spots(if a mother just lost her son, would she be discussing her childu0026#39;s sexual habits with ANYONE, especially a stranger?).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt would have been a completely forgettable experience had it not been for Hoskins and Washington. They do not elevate this movie, for no one really could, but it sticks in the mind as a film that makes you wonder why these talented actors decided to do it in the first place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeople are comparing this to u0026quot;Ghostu0026quot; and that is indeed not without merit, however, for more enjoyable movies with ghosts, I would suggest u0026quot;The Ghost Goes Westu0026quot; with Robert Donat and Eugene Pallette or for a more romantic turn, u0026quot;The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.”
