Trivia: The original title was "A Couple of Dicks." (As "dick" was not only an old-time nickname for detectives, but is also obviously a reference to the male reproductive organ and is a common insult.) However, the studio got cold feet and worried the title would get them in trouble, so they decided to change the name to "A Couple of Cops." Director Kevin Smith told them that the new title was a "total cop out." The comment inspired Smith and the studio, who realised "Cop Out" would be a good title.
