Flattop was a major character in the 1990 feature film Dick Tracy. He was played by William Forsythe. Flattop was a lieutenant of Al "Big Boy" Caprice, and was feared by other members of the underworld. He often worked with Itchy and Mumbles. Flattop was responsible for shooting 5 members of Lips Manlis' gang at the Seventh Street Garage, which was witnessed by The Kid. He was arrested on suspicion of the crime, but released due to a lack of evidence. He later aided in the kidnapping of Tracy and left him tied up in a basement with an overloaded boiler, expecting that Tracy would die in the explosion. Tracy was rescued by The Kid and resumed his war on crime. Flattop battled in the climactic New Year's Eve shootout at Club Ritz and fires from a car as they break into the police blockade. When the car crashes, Flattop survives and fires his gun at a car, exploding it (apparently killing three police officers). He then engages Tracy in a brief gun battle where he is shot, continuing to wildly fire his tommy gun as he dies. He was the last member of Big Boy's gang to die.
