Palle in canna (1993)
Nel 1993, L.A. è un posto dove i poliziotti segnano con il gesso sull'asfalto le sagome di cadaveri, prima ancora che vi sia un corpo, e criminali, pagano il loro debito alla società con una carta di credito. La situazione ha lasciato i suoi segni sul Detective Jack Colt (Emilio Estevez), un ribelle che è stufo di lottare contro la burocrazia della polizia. La sua giornata inizia con la "Colazione del campione", che però rischia di non essere sufficiente per sbrogliare il mistero dell'omicidio della Wilderness Cookie Girl (Ragazza dei Biscottini Pazzeschi). Tanto più che Colt sta per essere affiancato da un nuovo partner: Wes Luger (Samuel L. Jackson), un veterano della polizia a cui mancano pochi giorni alla pensione. Per saperne di più si recano dal Dr. Hannibal Leacher (F. Murray Abraham), uno psicopatico omicida. Il Dr. Leacher sa qualcosa e su sua indicazione le indagini si indirizzano verso il cattivo Generale Mortars (William Shatner) e il suo sgherro, Dr. Jigsaw (Tim Curry).
