- “Keep running, Wolf! One of these days, your luck is gonna run out!”
- ―Chief Luggins.
Chief Luggins is a major character in the DreamWorks film, The Bad Guys. She is voiced by Alex Borstein.
Background[]
Personality[]
Chief Luggins is best known for being the chaotic, fiery and hot-tempered chief of police. She is quite determined to capture any criminal, especially the Bad Guys, and will go into extreme measures to make sure that they are captured.
Although she is obsessed with trying to put the Bad Guys in jail and can be a bit extreme, she is genuinely trying to serve her role as a police officer and serve the welfare of civilians, and she is also shown to be fairly civil and even helpful when she's not chasing criminals.
She can come across as weak-minded since even though she's been chasing the Bad Guys for quite some time, she never learned how they plan and how they escape, showing that she barely knows them as they know her. Even after the Bad Guys manage to prove themselves to be genuinely redeemed and turn themselves in, even showed her that Marmalade is the real criminal behind the meteorite being stolen, she is still intent on busting them again, even if she has to push them into committing a crime.
Physical Appearance[]
Chief Luggins is a rather tall, muscular, top-heavy and fair-skinned middle-aged woman with black eyes, dark-ish orange eyebrows and long, noticeably wavy ginger hair that is tied-back into a bun. She also has a bandage on her left ring finger.
Her main attire is that of an LAPD uniform with a pair of cargo shorts, a navy-blue necktie with a clip hanging on the shirt, and a dark navy police hat. She also wore white socks, black combat boots, gray aviator sunglasses and small stud earrings.
Appearances[]
The Bad Guys[]
Not much is known about Luggins. From all her years of working for the LAPD, she has been pursuing criminals except for failing to bring Mr. Wolf and his gang to justice, albeit in comedic ways. She tends to remember well of other crimes in history, including a successfully failed attempt of stealing the Golden Dolphin, which was ultimately done by an unknown alias known as The Crimson Paw.
At the meteorite's Gala Party, it seems that Luggins has a party side, but rather not show it unless the music really gets to her, which results into her break dancing. Luggins has a big rivalry connection to Mr. Wolf, as she told Mr. Wolf that bringing him to justice was practically her purpose. Luggins also seems to have heavy awareness when something is wrong, as indicated in the museum heist, the gala robbery, and when the meteorite was actually a lamp during the guinea pig chase led by Professor Marmalade. She may know a bit of Geology, as she quickly knows what kind of gem was stolen during The Crimson Paw robberies, which the blame was placed on Marmalade after he was defeated by the Bad Guys.
Maraschino Ruby[]
In an effort to catch the Bad Guys again, Chief Luggins sets up a plot involving a ruby while getting an article that has her call them stupid twice figuring they would take the bait and try to steal a fake ruby she planted. However, she soon finds out they had already been arrested for allegedly stealing a push pop. At first, she doesn't mind as it is still theft. However, Mr. Shark busts in disguised as a lawyer and reveals that the push pop was paid for along with pointing out that planting a fake ruby is entrapment, causing the Chief to be arrested instead. The Bad Guys offer not to press charges on the condition she redact her statement. She does so and soon finds out they swiped the real ruby from her pocket and returned it to the museum, getting them hailed as heroes much to her frustration.
