100 Best B Movie Sherriffs or Police

85. Inspector Roberts from WAXWORK.

Ironically another skeptic (A bit of a hardass at that... "balls in the slammer" and all) who comes around to the heroes' side when he becomes wary that the waxwork's curator is a total freak... However, unlike the aforementioned Mulrooney, he actually ends up killed by the hands of a mummy.

Or does he?? As we see near the end Roberts is still alive, screaming, and presumably not even turned evil like the other victims of the waxworks! Unfortunately, he does not have a chance to fight his captors again... As he still can't escape from Rao-Ul's crypt...

Extra points for being a total cross between Dirty Harry and a SaW detective!

No.81 - Lt. Lefty Enright - When his nephew mysteriously disappeared and his niece wound up in a mental hospital screaming about a family of cannibals, Texas Ranger "Lefty" took on a personal crusade to bring these lunatics to justice... on the end of a chainsaw! Best Dennis Hopper role EVER.

76. Brannigan. Not a "B" budget, not a "B" star, but definitely a b-movie detective.

Not the "best"... but...

71. Police Chief Alaniz from THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN

Special award for perservering in the face of an incredibly confusing plot: he's got no more idea what's going on than the audience, but he bravely carries on trying to stop Hitler's brain.

(Sound clip) Alaniz's penetrating analysis of Hitler's leadership qualities
