The Top 25 Hockey Movies of All-Time - # 22

# 22 - Bon Cop, Bad Cop
I can not tell a lie. "Good (French) Cop, Bad Cop" is not the best movie of all-time. It is about as full of cop movie cliches as you already saw in all 14 Lethal Weapon movies. That being said, it does have an interesting plot.
Basically, it is about a killer who is getting back at everyone that has hurt hockey in Canada. Because they did not have the NHL's blessing, they had to change the names to protect the innocent or Canadian. But they do reference the "Fleur De Lys" being sold to Colorado, # 88 not signing, and # 99 being traded.
But the real genius is the pro hockey league's commissioner. They actually use an actor who has to be 4'8" tall (seriously, think Time Bandits) and his name........wait for it.....Buttman! The mocking pushes this movie over the top and onto this awesome list. View at your own peril.
