Dick Justice is an American blaxploitation crime TV show airing in 2003. The show's story is rip-off of Max Payne's own tragedy and life experiences of the 2001 Valkyr Case: one former cop-turned squatter mentions that the Dick Justice series was based off a case that happened a while back.
The main protagonist in the series is a detective named Dick Justice. Dick's wife (Sharon Justice) is murdered, and Justice goes rogue in an attempt to figure out who framed him for her killing and get his revenge.
It is also mentioned that video games have been made of the show.
