Parodies
- Brazilian comedy group Hermes & Renato made a parody of Copkiller in their program Tela Class, called A Vingança do Ídalo. In it, Harvey Keitel's character is Juarez, and John Lydon is himself. The parody features Juarez, a massive Sex Pistols fan, who suddenly finds his idol Johnny Rotten, and kidnapps him. Everyone becomes upset. Juarez starts to threaten Johnny, until Johnny Rotten starts to have a gay relationship with him, and starts living with Juarez. But when Juarez starts going out with a woman called Sara Jane, Johnny Rotten feels rejected, and jealous. Because of this, Juarez shots Johnny dead, and Sara Jane finally, shots Juarez dead.
