Parole de flic (UK title Cop's Honour) is a 1985 French crime film directed by José Pinheiro and produced by and starring Alain Delon. It marked Delon's return to action films after a period devoted to more intimate films.
Ne réveillez pas un flic qui dort (1988) was the sequel to this film.
Daniel Pratt (Alain Delon) is a former police officer living on an African island. When he learns that his daughter has been murdered in Lyon, he returns to France to avenge her, and brutally kills the perpetrators one by one.
Philippe Setbon was the initial scriptwriter, but left the project before completion; the final script was written by Frédéric H. Fajardie and edited by Pinheiro and Delon. Shooting took place in and around Lyons, and in the People's Republic of Congo for African scenes.
The song "I don't know", played over the closing credits, is sung by Alain Delon and Phyllis Nelson.
Stéphane Ferrara, who had previously appeared in Jean-Luc Godard's Détective, was a French national champion in boxing.
Parole de flic was a big hit in France, with admissions of 2,517,875.
