70's BLaxtiploitation and 80'S Buddy-Cop Movie (w/cliches)

70's BLaxtiploitation and 80'S Buddy-Cop Movie (w/cliches)
Brought to you in High-Fidelity Mono-Sound™!

White Thunder is a Detriot city cop that don't take no for an answer. With his caucasian jive accent, afro, Ford Mustang, and black belt in Gung-Fu, he patrols the streets taking out "punk-ass bitches."


Unfortunately, during a routine drug bust, 3 civilians were injured due to Thunders ego.

Black police chief Dreyfhus calls Thunder into his office. He tells Thunder that he's a loose canon. He needs someone to keep him in line. Dreyfhus tells Thunder that his new partner will be Panama Jack/Joe, an equally ego-centric detective. Dreyfus  explains that Panama is a straight cop that grew up in the ghetto and vowed to take crime off the streets. Thunder resists, however, and says that he only "flies solo". Chief Dreyfus says the partner is not optional.  Either that, or Thunder loses his badge. He calls Panama into the room. As he walks in, he gets one look at Thunder and goes "heyll nah!" He explains to Thunder that he is as resistant as Thunder and he doesn't want to be there either.

White Thunder and Panama get debriefed on their mission: they must locate Mob boss Hai Wong and take him into custody.  Dreyfus suggests they check out a recent murder that has just been called in. They investigate and find evidence.

Using this evidence, they track one of Hai Wongs Henchmen back to a place. A chase/ fight ensues, and they make their way onto the road.  

After a brief car chase,  They chase him into a gas station, where he throws ninja stars at them, they duck and he refills his gas. Thunder and Panama get to him, and he is forced to abandon his car. They confront him at gunpoint, revealing the location of Hai Wong. Thunder flashbacks to the days in "'Nam".

They get to the hideout, but are caught. At fistpoint they are confronted by Wong and his henchmen. Suddenly, two of the henchmen punch out the other henchmen, and Wong runs. It turns out that the 2 "henchmen" were actually agents undercover. They had to blow their cover to save Thunder and Panama, They are angry because they had been working on the case for 8 months infiltrating Hai Wong's ranks.

Chief Dreyfus calls them into his office. He scolds them and calls them "irresponsible" and takes their badges and guns. Panama says that the situation is "hella wack." Disgruntled but hopeful, they separate for a while, but come together to continue working on the case.

They track Hai Wong to his place and try to arrest him, at which point Thunder's love interest, Destiny Jones, comes forth as a hostage of Wong's and the final confrontation ends with Wong dying. The two have become friends, and they finally accept each other. Thunder gets the girl, and Panama goes on to become the police chief with the lowest crime rate in a century.
