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

4. Martin Riggs - Lethal Weapon

Dirty Harry
Warner Bros.

In short, Riggs is nuts. A few examples best explain why: Cuffing himself to a suicide jumper, only to leap off the building with him. Perhaps walking straight into the line of sight of a sniper. Or, more morbidly, unlawfully sticking a gun into his own mouth.

Psychotic, but fearless, careless and borderline suicidal, Riggs is the maverick you want by your side, but not want to be. His actions often rub off onto other clean officers, like his partner Murtaugh who held a grenade firmly in his hand during a standoff.

He's a constant force of nature.
