fast moving action-packed movie with cheesy lines. The best scene is Kurt Russell in drag! It's laughingly bad. It's fun to watch this movie because you know it's cheesy!
Actually not that bad, a few cheesy one liners but also quite a bit of action.
FUBAR... the first time anyone ever heard of it, and know they overuse it to no end.
I really love this combo and idea. It's horribly cheesy as well, but it's still great. I love their chemistry, the should make a sequel.
Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone in one film !
that is going to be a good film
"Who the Hell do you think you are?" screams an LA County Deputy at Sylvester Stallone in the opening scene of Andrei Konchalovsky's buddy-cop action-comedy.

Ok so it may be a typical 'buddy cop' sort of movie and a bit of a rip off of Lethal Weapon and Stallone and Russell
One of the most batshit insane things I've ever seen in my life. It follows the script of a late 80s arcade fighting game almost exactly (there's a driving level even!. That earns it 1 1/2 stars.
Kind of a disappointment since Sylvester Stallone had to play more of a straight man to Kurt Russell's wild card. I'd have enjoyed it more if it was the two of them in their usual roles just kicking ass together. Instead, we get a thinly-veiled, homo... (read more) Kind of a disappointment since Sylvester Stallone had to play more of a straight man to Kurt Russell's wild card. I'd have enjoyed it more if it was the two of them in their usual roles just kicking ass together. Instead, we get a thinly-veiled, homoerotic buddy cop comedy that lacks anything truly memorable and suffers from a pretty standard and predictable plot. Still, it's Tango & Cash. They're badass. Plus, Teri Hatcher looks pretty hot.
Good action, great cast, and Teri Hatcher's real boobs. This movie has it all.
