Usual Suspects - Police Identity Parade

The Usual Suspects is a 1995 American neo-noir film written by  Christopher McQuarrie and directed by Bryan Singer. The film has a very iconic photograph on the front cover of the dvd/VHS, the photograph is taken from a clip in the film of a police identity parade. One of the best mystery films in America and has won several awards, the film had a lot of scenes in which police were involved as well as the identity parade scene in which the actors are all against a blank background marked with heights. The audience can see through the two way mirror the police are looking through.

The image from Usual Suspects. The image has become iconic, alot of images like this have being used in cinema

especially to show police scenes.

 

Popular culture has used police identity parades to make fun of certain people or subjects. I found a few and have decided to include them as i feel these images are all part of how police identity parades can be made and even though some of them are just mean for fun a lot of them are drawn or shot like real identity parades would be.
