==''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''==

In 1947, [[R.K. Maroon]] paid Eddie $100 to photograph [[Jessica Rabbit|Jessica]] quite literally "playing pattycake" with [[Marvin Acme]].

When Acme is murdered and Roger becomes the prime suspect of the case, Eddie teams up with Roger to find the killer and soon, finds not only Acme's murderer, but the murderer of Maroon and his own brother, who turns out to be Judge Doom who is a toon wearing a human mask. Eddie manages to defeat Doom by squirting dip on him, making him to melt and scream, "I'm melting! Melting!". After defeating Doom at Acme Warehouse, Eddie then abandoned his vendetta against [[toon]]s and walks home with Roger and Jessica and his girlfriend Dolores.

==Trivia==

* Eddie's hard-boiled attitude seems to derive from [[wikipedia:Dick Tracy|Dick Tracy]] or other such detectives. In the 1988 film, Valiant was made to portray the film noir detective character usually found in [[wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]] or [[wikipedia:Alan Ladd|Alan Ladd]] while maintaining the Dick Tracy attitude.

* ~~Although~~ little or nothing is heard about the methods employed by Eddie's brother, the items on Teddy's side of the desk in shots of the Valiant and Valiant office suggest that Teddy was based more on [[wikipedia:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]], judging by the tobacco pipe and magnifying glass on his desk.

* Eddie looks like a composite of [[wikipedia:Peter Falk|Peter Falk]] of ~~the TV series~~ ''[[wikipedia:Columbo (TV series)|Columbo]]'' and film private eye [[wikipedia:Philip Marlowe|Philip Marlowe]], wearing shiny brown suit and beat-up fedora above a craggy face.
