* Given a [[Canada, Eh?|Canadian]] twist in ''[[Bon Cop Bad Cop]]'', with a by-the-book Torontonian cop and a Montreal [[Cowboy Cop]].
* Jack Cates and Reggie Hammond in the movie ''[[Forty Eight Hours|48 HRS]]''.
* Subverted in the movie ''Amos and Andrew'', with [[Samuel L Jackson]] as uptight Andrew and Nicolas Cage as crazy criminal Amos.

* ''Rising Sun'', with Wesley Snipes and [[Sean Connery]].

* Phil and Lem on ''[[Better Off Ted]].'' [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode, when Ted was using salt and pepper shakers to represent them. They were at first confused about which one was which, but then Lem (the black one) decided he was pepper because he was spicy. Phil agreed that he was "salty, like a sea captain.
** Not a true example, however, since their personalities are close to identical. (And neither is spicy or salty.)
