13 Canadian Cult Films You Shouldn't Miss

8. Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006)

Bon Cop Bad Cop This bilingual buddy-cop film was touted as finally breaking the 20 year long box office record held by the low brow Porky's (barring inflation). Not only did it manage to incorporate elements of typical Hollywood movies (i.e. gunfights, car chases, somebody dead), it also uniquely showcased the dual identity Canada struggles to reconcile. When a murdered body is found straddling the border of English-speaking Canada and French-speaking Canada, two cops must learn to work together - putting their cultural differences aside - to stop the crime. This was a no-brainer on behalf of a Canadian government body trying to appease everyone, playing well in both parts of the country .
