Correction: What you see is the thick sleeves of his phone costume, they may have been designed as protective pads by the costume designers, but they belong to the phone dress, can be visible from the start of these scenes and can't be depict as protective pads.

Corrected entry: When Morgan is standing outside the cell phone store watching the bad guy make the deal, the bad guy pulls out a full-auto Uzi and shoots the clerk. In the foot chase that ensues he is later shooting at Willis with a regular handgun.

Correction: He could easily have had more than one gun.

Corrected entry: When Morgan is interrogating a suspect in the opening scene, he hands the suspect his gun when he unlocks the handcuffs. In the next scene, Morgan has his gun in his hand again. Then in the next scene the suspect still has the gun.

Correction: Actually, when Morgan gives the suspect the gun to unlock the cuffs, he takes them back in the next shot. I knew this because he pulled his hand up from where the suspects hands were. Later, when the suspect was supposedly holding the gun again, it was really Morgan. It is a confusing shot because four arms were all in the same place.

Trivia: The original title was "A Couple of Dicks." (As "dick" was not only an old-time nickname for detectives, but is also obviously a reference to the male reproductive organ and is a common insult.) However, the studio got cold feet and worried the title would get them in trouble, so they decided to change the name to "A Couple of Cops." Director Kevin Smith told them that the new title was a "total cop out." The comment inspired Smith and the studio, who realised "Cop Out" would be a good title.

Answer: In his recent book 'Kevin Smith's Secret Stash', Smith states that he experienced "true darkness" working with Bruce Willis. According to Smith, Bruce Willis does not enjoy making movies. Smith accuses Willis of being lazy and accounts several stories of the two having creative differences on set, including Willis being angry that Smith allowed Tracy Morgan to improvise dialogue. Willis also apparently took issue with Smith contradicting him in front of the crew. For his part, Willis has only vaguely commented on the animosity between the two, calling Smith a "whiner" in one interview.
