Among the couple of clean copsevident not only by his actions but by his reliable 'stacheGordon befriended the Batman, assisted save Gotham from destruction as a result of Ra's Al Ghul, faced served by the Joker and resided to inform the storyplot. And that he was marketed to Commissioner along the way. A 'stache-less guy may have gone Andy Griffith, shaved his mo and headed for that country, although not Jim Gordon. Reginald VelJohnson as Sgt. Al Powell in "Die Hard" and "Die Hard 2" Sure he began like a body fat cop delicately patrolling his beat while gobbling lower snack cakes, but he saved John McClane's existence and made certain we'd have the ability to enjoy three (possibly four?) more "Die Hard" films.

Eddie Murphy as Detective Axel Foley within the "Beverly Hill Cop" trilogy Even thinking about lots of competition like Rogen's Officer Michaels, Axel Foley is perhaps easily the funniest mustache-sporting cop to sophistication the big screen. However, even Hightower fans can't argue against Axel F's claim that they can the very best cop-'stache theme music within the good reputation for film. Possibly applying the effective detective 'stache abilities of fellow Detroit fan of sports Magnum P.I., Foley's mo was as steadfast an accessory as his Lions jacket and, together with his laugh-inducing investigative techniques, assisted him take lower murderers and counterfeiters miles from his home within the Motor City. Bruce Willis as Detective Jack Mosley in "16 Blocks" Bruce Willis is renowned for playing bad ass cops like McClane, however when he utilized the energy from the mustache to experience drunk, lower-and-out detective Jack Mosley, he still handled to create paunchy old researchers appear tough as nails.
