Ultimate buddy movie.

Imagine with me if you will...

Our hero, a police chief that gets tired of his desk job and demotes himself to detective. He ends up being partnered with an up and coming police captain bent on justice. They get assigned to a murder. The victim turns out to be a Congressman's daughter. Through the investigation we find out that the Congressman is trafficking drugs and his daughter got caught in the crossfire...

That's a very basic plot. Other characters would be included. The police station's radio dispatcher is a spitfire young women that loves the up and coming captain but can't express herself except in very harsh words. The ex-chief's wife is doting and beyond worried about her husband coming out from behind the desk. The rookie is a young kid that doesn't know any better and is always falling for the common station pranks.

Now that you have a basic sense of the Ultimate Buddy Movie, let me let you in on who I would cast as the two lead roles: William Shatner and Jeff Goldblum.

Can you imagine it? Shattner would be the hot headed bad cop to Goldblum's easy going, friendly, good cop.

My god, the acting! Weird pauses, awkward sounds, and stiff movements throughout the whole movie. It would be an instant cult hit. Shatner could even speak a little Esperanto in it. The two kings of odd verbal cadence would be an amazing dynamic duo. And the chemistry is undeniable. Shatner would lead and Goldblum would mutter his agreeance. We could even get Billy Zane in there as the straight man to the other two's odd behavioral glitches. That guy needs a good gig.

I have the perfect name for it:
