Tango & Cash Trailers

Ray Tango and Gabriel Cash are narcotics detectives who, while both being extremely successful, can't stand each other. Crime Lord Yves Perret, furious at the loss of income that Tango and Cash have caused him, frames the two for murder. Caught with the murder weapon on the scene of the crime, the two have no alibi. Thrown into prison with most of the criminals they helped convict, it appears that they are going to have to trust each other if they are to clear their names and catch the evil Perret.

Plot; Rival cops must team up when they're framed for murder by the city's top crime boss.Released in the Golden Age of the Buddy Cop film, Tango & Cash sees perhaps the genre's biggest pairing of star power in Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, and it's their charisma and chemistry that carry the movie.A notoriously troubled production saw Patrick Swayze leave (replaced by Russell), Stallone fire the director of photography (a guy named Barry Sonnenfeld) so that he could bring in his own guy, the director fired and the entire production go $20 million over budget. Filming began without a finished script and the final cut wasn't locked until just before its release. In short, it was a cluster foozle. But it works. Not amazingly well, but as a piece of disposable entertainment. Logic doesn't exist in this universe and trying to make sense of the plot will only give you a headache. If you just sorta roll with it, Sly and Kurt carry the whole tangled mess on their beefy shoulders and deliver a genre relative good time.

Two cops are framed and must clear their names. Although Tango & Cash doesn't hold up as it might used to years ago with it's humor the soundtrack, the chemistry between Stallone and Russell but also the action itself does the job pretty well with some cool references to movies such as Conan The Barbarian and Jaws but also the iconic one liner "Rambo is a P*ssy" which is still hilarious years after the film does hold up in terms of it's 80's magic which is the hairstyle and the characters who are very good but also Jack Palance and Brion James as the villains of the movie is something that worked very well for it's time of release and even tho as i said it doesn't hold up as it might used to it's still one hell of a Stallone Flick and it definitely gets an 8/10.

On the surface, "Tango and Cash" has got to be the most ridiculous buddy cop movie on the market. And I'm still trying to decide if this is honest-to-god satire or just an extremely calculated kitchen sink attempt at a genre movie. This thing's just one glib one-liner after another, and they are all extremely on the nose. Is there subtlety in this? Hell no, but it is entertaining. And there are moments that had me in genuine laughter.And I do say that that's all down to the two leads. Stallone and Russell are what make this work. You can tell they didn't come to set every day hating their work, that it's all just a gas, and that's what keeps the movie light and easy on its feet. That, and in-her-prime Teri Hatcher.It's loud, extremely silly, but still a lot of fun.7/10

This was the first real action flick I ever watched as a kid, so maybe it's nostalgia.Maybe instead, it's all of the awesome one-liners in this movie.Don't get me wrong: this is a super campy 80s action flick, and the cheese is very thick.But it's still an absolutely wonderful movie.Between Brion James' laughably bad cockney accent, to Jack Palance's eminent awesomeness, this movie has everything: completely unnecessary nudity, plenty of profanity, people jumping from explosions, and a little bit of the awesome Clint Howard!This is one of the few movies I can watch again and again and again.So if you want an evening with a little bit of 80s campiness, and you've already watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles recently, this movie's for you.
