The Karate Cop

The Karate Cop combines police powers, a pistol and martial arts prowess into one awesome, crime-busting package. The Karate Cop is not a go-by-the-rules kinda guy. His priority is bringing the deserving to justice. Usually the Karate cop also has some kind of vendetta - a drug lord to bring down, the death of his father (usually also a cop) or his partner to avenge, etc., etc. Nonetheless, he is still a good cop - he may disobey orders, total police cars and kick ass when it seems the right thing to do - but he still operates inside the law as much as he can. Bringing a crook to book is one thing - a gangland style execution in a dark alley is quite another.   Archetypes: Andy Lau in any one of about 200 Hong Kong Cop dramas. Jackie Chan in Supercop. Chuck Norris - though we shudder to mention it - in too many movies to cheerfully contemplate.
