Jerry was a homicide cop in L.A., and he had curly hair, so I permed my hair, which was a, uh, very interesting choice.īecause I kind of looked like a It’s kind of odd. John Frankenheimer was the director.Īnd I was excited to work with him. It was an actual cop, and he wrote the script.
Don Johnson later recalled: That was amazing, because it was a real-life character. Production 'Jerome Beck' is listed in the film's closing credits as walk-on character Detective John, and also as the film's technical police advisor. Beck kills the suspect with his.357 revolver in a shootout when the killer fires on Detective Beck and the local police with a 9mm pistol.
Beck, with the assistance of a local police chief and his officers, corners the killer in an underground tunnel complex concealed under the neo-nazis' compound. Detective Beck pursues the killer across several states and uncovers that the killer is involved with a White Supremacist, Neo-Nazi group that is involved in many violent crimes.Įventually Detective Beck tracks the killer to a Neo-Nazi compound in rural Colorado. During the investigation Beck learns that the murder of the deputy sheriff was just the tip of the iceberg, as he finds the roots of the suspect are in a White Supremacist, Neo-Nazi group. The slain officer's widow further complicates the issue when she entices Beck into a one-night stand, in the hope that Beck will not only find but kill her husband's murderer. As with every case, he takes this one very emotionally, because 'the job' is the last thing left in his life, and vows to get the perpetrator no matter what.
Homicide detective, (Johnson), is assigned to the case.
