Highway Patrolman (Alex Cox, 1991)

At times feels like a less potent Electra Glide in Blue, but ultimately emerges as a pretty great movie in its own right.  The best part is when his engine breaks down and he runs the rest of the way on his fucked-up knee carrying a disproportionately huge gun.  It's like something from a Cappadonna song.  I admire Cox's vigilance in avoiding cliche in the plotting.  I definitely see why it's some peoples' favorite of his.
