This was the most clichéd and predictable cop/tough-guy/partner movie ever made. The throw-away films of Norris, Van Damme, Seagal, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger have plots that seem labyrinthine compared to this.
Starting with the film title, "tough" sounding nickname/surname, if you can think of a cliché in an action movie, it is used in this one. It just seems that Larry Ferguson farmed the writing out to a first year class studying film conventions and plot telegraphing. Cookie-cutter main character? Check. Partner? Check. Superior? Check. "I'll get you yet" rival of main character? Check. Villain? Check. Storyline? And how!
Hopper should have let this one pass him by.
