Here's some fun trivia about the most recent appearance of Dynamite Cop:

Sega, the makers of Dynamite Cop, did a couple crossover strategy RPGs for the 3DS with Namco and Capcom, titled Project X Zone. In the first of these, Bruno Dellinger is one of the included characters, voiced by Ben Hiura (who dubs for Bruce Willis in many of his roles, most relevantly, John McClane). He attacks using a pepper shaker, mop, and exploding grandfather clock. He can be paired up with Frank West (from Dead Rising) and Hsien-Ko (from Darkstalkers), which leads to the two guys asking Hsien-Ko to carry all their weirdass weapons in her bottomless sleeves. Due to licensing and copyright issues with Die Hard Arcade, they replaced Bruno's BGM in the international release of the game, from High Rise to Hell (from Dynamite Cop 1/Die Hard Arcade) to Poop Deck Pursuit (from Dynamite Cop 2). The Bermuda (where DC2 takes place) is also a map in PxZ, with item-bearing breakable objects using the models of Dynamite Cop power-ups, and the rather unfortunate-looking enemies (the Bermuda Gang) show up throughout the game. In the English version, the localization team changed the title of a chapter taking place on the Bermuda to "Die Even Harder" in reference to Die Hard Arcade, as well.
