Owner of the high-class nightclub Mr. V's who deals in illegal narcotics and murders Joey. When she is about to light a cigarette (or a pipe) then immediately a great many lighters appear. She possesses a chair with two backs. She likes cracking nuts, with a nutcracker or with her own hands. [VI]
Five billion years ago, our Earth was a molten mass. For some reason unknown to scientists, the Earth cooled, forming a crust, a hard igneous shell, what we scientists call ... rock. It is thrown at Drebin and Nordberg; Olsen finds it clean without fingerprints or laundry marks. "It is a heck of an efficient weapon, Frank, you must admire the simplicity of its design." "Where did it come from?" ... [III]
Thug who works with Joe for Dutch Gunderson. He beats up Jill, the dance teacher, while her students watch and do exactly as she does. When Drebin fights with Rock and Joe, they attack him with a knife, a club, a signed Picasso, and herpes. [III]

Lady who works for Dutch Gunderson, and is his lover. She tells Drebin that one can learn a lot about a woman by her keys. For instance, her keys are silver plated, indicating that she knows the finer things in life. The face of her key is unscratched, indicating a gentle touch. She asks for 50 copies of her apartment keys; 49 are to be mailed to the Chicago Bears. The 50th is for Drebin to let himself in (at three o'clock) but Drebin needs two weeks to find her apartment since she neglected to give him her address. When he has found it (how?) she tries to shoot him. [III]
While Mrs Burton tries to keep the kidnappers of Terri busy, Officer Nordberg works hard to put a tap on the phone, but he doesn't have enough time. [V]
"There is the tow truck" — a huge toe pushing the exploded Oldsmobile. [IV]
Frank often uses trashcans as a stopping device. In Episode I he stops his car against one as he arrives at the scene of the crime. When he arrives at Jim's Gym [II] he uses two. One trashcan again is used in Episode III and four in Episode IV. In the fifth episode he stops his car against two trashcans and a mailbox. When trashcans are not available Frank uses other objects, for instance, a car [II] or some (4) bikes at the Sherwood Highschool playground [IV].
