Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Smoreni Zmaj 6,3?!!! Really?!!! The only nominations it has are Razzie - Sylvester Stallone for the worst actor, Kurt Russell for supporting actress (I do not want to spoil by explaining this) and for the worst screenplay... I'm shocked! This is one of the mightiest crime action movies of all time, a cult movie as much as "Die Hard" is. Stallone and Russell are awesome tandem, the story is satisfying, action scenes are great, there are just enough funny lines, Teri is there to satisfy aesthetic needs, music by Yazoo and Alice Cooper,... Even I, who consider action movies to be the lowest type of cinematography, am thrilled. I'm sure there's no need to present this movie to those who grew up in the '80s and '90s, and you, kids of the 21st century, put it on your watch-lists immediately, and on top of it.9/10
jandkhendricks I got a real kick out of this movie, mostly because it was the classic story line of a man and woman who think they are opponents, and banter endlessly as they fall in love and save the day....except instead of a male and female, it's Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone. I laughed my head off!Probably my favorite scene though is when they end up in a strip club featuring a female dancer...clothed, wildly playing a drum...?? Laughed so hard. The truth is, I've never been in such a club, but I wondered if the writer had ever been in a strip club either! It just seemed like the writer was like..."okay, they go into a club and the woman...I dunno, she's playing a drum? I dunno, who cares. Just keep her clothes on, the only buns we want to see in this movie are those of the leading men, am I right?!" But what do I know?It was a a strangely romantic movie and so over the top 80's-tastic. It's a real gem!
Mr-Fusion 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
ivo-cobra8 This was the last Action film from the 80's that Stallone made and it become my favorite Action thriller from my childhood. I grew up with this film. Tango & Cash is 1989 underrated Action "classic" film. The amalgamation of Sylvester Stallone's sheer magnetism, and Kurt Russell's commanding stage presence, has yielded a sonnet the likes of which all Films aspire to be. Stallone portrays "Raymond 'Ray' Tango" a highly decorated narcotics detective from Beverly Hills, who penchant for the stock market, has granted him not only the finer things in life but also a means to express his sophisticated nature and aspirations of financial independence. Stallone masterfully shows the dichotomy of a character who is highly educated and well mannered, yet is beset in a cesspool of crime and depravity, Tango yearns for a better society yet will not rest on his laurels of law and order. "Gabriel 'Gabe' Cash" portrayed by the immaculate Kurt Russell, is the antipodean of Stallone's level headed Tango. Cash is pugnacious, assertive, and jealous yet his diligence to enforce law and order at all cost define this tortured soul. Although this crass inner city detective has a disheveled appearance and tough exterior he is simply trying to hide his true feelings and desires for true love in an otherwise barbaric society. All in all this film is the crowning achievement of Stallone and Russell and the Hollywood film industry. It is a cut of history, when master Artisans the like of Russell and Stallone are brought together at their peak with visionaries leading them to produce what is their destiny FUBAR!!!!!!!!! It is my favorite best action film and the second Stallone best film along with Cobra from the 80's. I love the action sequences, the prison sequences, I love Robert Z'Dar as "The Jaw" in the film he is more memorable for me Matt Cordell as Maniac Cop from the 80's. That is why I love the films from the 80's and 90's more than I do now.Tango & Cash is a 1989 American buddy cop action comedy film that was mainly directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, although Albert Magnoli took over in the later stages of filming.[3] It stars Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack Palance, and Teri Hatcher. The film was released in the United States on December 22, 1989.The film describes the struggle of Raymond Tango and Gabriel Cash, two rival LAPD narcotics detectives, who are forced to work together after the criminal mastermind Yves Perret frames both of them for murder.Two cops are framed and must clear their names. this was the only film directed from Andrei Konchalovsky that stayed in my memories from him. The director for me in unknown, sorry. Sylvester Stallone did great job portraying his character L.A. Cop Raymond Tango. Kurt Russell was awesome as L.A. Cop Gabriel Cash. Teri Hatcher as Katherine "Kiki" Tango was excellent as Ray's sister. Yes she was his sister not his mistress, girlfriend or his wife, she was his sister which I love in this movie! Jack Palance as crime boss Yves Perret was excellent villain. Brion James as Requin was amazingly tough guy villain. James Hong as Quan another villain was also awesome. The most awesome to me was Robert Z'Dar as "The Jaw" he was terrific in this film.I love this film to death I love it is my favorite film and I love it to death!10/10 Grade: A+ Studio: Warner Bros.
