Rent-A-Cop is a 1987 action / comedy / crime film starring Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli. Reynolds plays a disgraced police officer, now working as a security guard, who falls in with Minnelli, who plays a prostitute.
The film helped both lead actors to be nominated for the 1988 Golden Raspberry Awards for "Worst Actor" and "Worst Actress." (These nominations were not solely on the merits of Rent-A-Cop, however; Reynolds and Minnelli were also cited for Switching Channels and Arthur 2: On the Rocks, respectively).
The film earned under US$300,000 in American ticket sales. IMDb lists the film as having debuted in 1987 because the movie came out in West Germany in November 1987, two months before its American premiere.
