What did we think of the scene where...


... Wesley Snipes' character crashes a party and one of the hookers whilst nude jumps on him and after he says "I'm a cop", says to him "you're a piece of sh*t" and what do you think of the part where afterwards, he just walks away, doesn't insult her back like "you're a b*tch" or anything, doesn't feel upset or insulted himself ("Excuse me madam, do not insult an officer of the law like that or you'll be in very serious trouble") and well has other priorities in his mind?

Also, as a man, or a cop or very much both, from a civilized and logical point of view if there are such things, is he really supposed to just "take it" and move on and is that a right and normal thing to do (besides the OBVIOUS fact that it wasn't "illegal" or even TOO "immoral" albeit perhaps still not right), even if he is a man and she is a woman, with very obvious nuances, facts and matters that this entails?

And what if he say pointed a gun at her and said something like "Don't tempt me, walk away NOW", would that be alright of him under the situation provided he doesn't shoot or anything?

Cheers.

P.S. If I was him, well... (Ooh) Nah, I'll be alright.

I guess it was meant to convey he has bigger shit to deal with than a mouthy prositute. Was that the same one who hit on him or somebody else?

Same one who jumped on him and started to fight him. By the way, was that scene based on a similar scene in "Point Break" (1991)?

Hmm, might had been a coincidence. Action movies used to not care about showing skin back then.
