avenges Brad's murder by killing Kane in self-defense after a failed ambush in George's apartment. His joy is short lived, however, after Jones gives George's high school transcript to the SFPSP—proving George is ineligible to be a police officer because he never graduated—and declares he will take control of the district. George continues to track Jones and seeks out the still-suspended Ted for help. They wind up in a rooftop shootout with Jones' goons and are eventually assisted by the rest of the SFPSP. George corners Jones in the lowest level of a parking garage and fatally shoots him in self-defense. George marries Maya and fathers of a baby girl named Sarah. At Maya's suggestion, he takes the high school equivalency exam and passes, allowing him to continue working as an officer. He also takes out a loan to expand his brother's district.

Slater said he took the role in part because he wanted to avoid doing accents or worrying about historical accuracy, as in his previous two roles. Because of his popularity as a teen idol, Slater said he was asked to do a scene in his underwear. He refused, saying that it was too gratuitous. The film was shot in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Release Kuffs was released in the United States on January 10, 1992. It opened in fifth place and grossed $5.7 million in its opening weekend. The final US gross was $21.1 million. Kuffs continued an 18-month dry spell for Universal Pictures in which they did not score a hit. The film's theatrical poster, which depicts Slater smiling and holding a pistol,
