Rough, tough and politically incorrect in the way that only the best 70's dramas can be, Regan was a pilot film for The Sweeney - one of the major television successes of the last fifty years. Featuring John Thaw as the irascible Detective Inspector Regan and Dennis Waterman as his loyal 'oppo' Detective Sergeant Carter, Regan was an immediate critical and ratings hit, resulting in four series of The Sweeney and two successful feature films. Jack Regan is a good copper, but his tough, intuitive style is becoming unfashionable in a Scotland Yard seeking a new image. When a policeman is mysteriously murdered, Regan breaks all the rules to find the killer - but he finds there are men in the Flying Squad prepared to break him.

Joe Don Baker is Mitchell- a hard-nosed, soft-bellied cop with an affinity for porn and Schlitz. His latest assignment has him engaging in no-speed car chases, yelling at children, shooting innocents and sloppily carousing Linda Evans.

《除暴安良》据上世纪70年代同名英国热播电视剧改编，讲述两名警官杰克和乔治合作打击犯罪的故事。影片大量运用特技效果，营造出一轮又一轮的枪战和飙车戏，视觉冲击力极为震撼。影片的两位核心主角分别由雷·温斯顿和本·德鲁饰演。雷·温斯顿是英国著名的老牌演技派影星，《贝奥武夫》和《雷普利的游戏》等片都是其代表作。本·德鲁这名字虽听着有些陌生，但说到艺名Plan B，很多乐迷就会恍然大悟，他正是英国最当红的饶舌歌手之一。对自己“唱而优则演”，他表示要多向“老戏骨”雷·温斯顿学习：“我是温斯顿的忠实粉丝。他演的《人渣》和《性感野兽》都是我喜欢的。”
