10 Movie Maverick Cops Who Just Didn't Give A Damn

10. Axel Foley - Beverly Hills Cop

He might not be the most serious addition to this list, but Axel Foley arrives in Beverly Hills to find the policing there to be quite underperforming and so takes his own approach to the crimes that are important to him.

Foley uses humour as his main maverick tactic, playing with the minds of the Beverly Hills Officers, ordering them room service, sticking a banana in their car tailpipe, taking them to strip clubs.

Despite his silliness, Foley can get serious, taking his new found partners to assault a criminal's estate without authorization. It certainly isn't a laughing matter.
