The Other Guys is a comedy action film released in the summer of 2010. Roughly the opening 2 minutes is a typical action scene involving a car chase between a couple of cops and a group of drug runners. This scene consists of typical short takes and non-diegetic music to create the sense of action. Although this scene doesn't reflect on the rest of the film, it does give an introduction to the film, it introduces the the NYC police department and the main characters, the 'Other Guys'. This scene reflects on the genre of the film as it has heavy action and some comedic lines from Dwanye Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson. The traditional credits also introduce the other main characters; Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Steve Coogan and Eva Mendes.
Overall, the opening 2 minutes are not stereotypical. The sequence is almost contrasting to what is expected from the rest of the film and makes it unique and interesting.
