''Dynamite Cop'' series is pretty well-regarded for an early attempt at 3D beat 'em up (especially when compared to Eidos' mediocre ''Fighting Force'' for [=PS1=]), but it's also remembered for its over-the-top humor, topped with 80s action flick cheese. Unfortunately, the series became all but forgotten after the second game, although Bruno Delinger eventually showed up in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

* KilledOffscreen: The penultimate boss the second and third games is a MasterOfDisguse / Shapeshifter who has pulled a KillAndReplace on the heroes' superior.

* RightUnderTheirNoses: Caroline in ''Deka 1'' hides right under the desk of the boss' room, and yet the terrorists are too daft to realize it until the players enter the last stage.

* BeatEmUp

* FightingYourFriend: Invoked by Caroline in both ''Deka 1'' and ''2'', triggered by defeating the final boss in multi-player mode. In truly cynical fashion, she declares only one is allowed to "rescue" her as a hero, hence you have to fight your partner for your life!
