Captain Stanley "Stan" White (born Stanis?aw Luszinski) is a fictional character from Robert Daley's 1981 novel Year of the Dragon (in which he is named Arthur Powers) and the 1985 film of the same name. In the film, he was portrayed by Mickey Rourke. He is a highly-decorated New York City police officer, but has a disdain for authority and his unorthodox policing techniques, although successful, have made his superiors as fond of him as he is of them. The real Stanley White, upon whom the film's principal character is based, went on to make several cameo appearances in the films of Year of the Dragon co-screenwriter Oliver Stone.
