The Rock: Every Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

4. The Other Guys (2010)

The Other Guys is easily one of Will Ferrell's best comedies of the last decade, reuniting him with frequent collaborator Adam McKay for this hilarious buddy cop romp, casting Ferrell's buttoned-down accountant opposite Mark Wahlberg's hotshot detective with outrageous results.

The funniest scene in the film features neither of the leads, though, and takes place as the city's rock star cops (Samuel L. Jackson and The Rock) jump to their deaths while chasing some perps, their seemingly bulletproof nature ultimately deluding them into believing they could survive a leap from such a great height.

It's an all-timer scene, and even prompted discussion of a possible prequel spin-off starring Jackson and Johnson as partners, but sadly it never came to pass.
