    All these reviews bring me so much nostalgic fun. I used to watch all these action movies with my dad in the late 90s early 00s, we watched pretty much every Stallone, Russell, Arnie and Van Damme movie (among others) on TV when he returned from work. He passed away in 2007 and I cherish all these action movies very much.

      Released on March 6, 1987, Lethal Weapon was No. 1 at the box office for three weeks before Blind Date supplanted it. It grossed $120.2 million worldwide and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing (Les Fresholtz, Dick Alexander, Vern Poore and Bill Nelson) (losing to The Last Emperor). It is widely considered to be one of the best buddy cop films of all time, influencing numerous "buddy cop" films such as Hot Fuzz, Tango & Cash, Bad Boys and the Rush Hour series.

    Tango & Cash marked the end of an era: It was the last Hollywood movie of the '80s, releasing in US theatres on December 22nd, 1989.
    This movie wasn't great, but it's a guilty pleasure for me; seemed like they were making it up as they went along. The prison break scene was legitimately good though.
    Andrei Konchalovsky is the credited director, but he was fired and two other directors worked on the movie uncredited: Peter McDonald and Albert Magnoli. Konchalovsky made another '80s action movie, Runaway Train, which is pretty good.
    Talking about Jackie Chan and Police Story, Bad Boys 2 ripped off the scene where cars crash through the hillside village.

  • @kyleolson8977
    @kyleolson8977 2 года назад +6

    Producer Jon Peters (hi again) was fighting with director Andrei Konchalovsky and fired him just before the end of production. Stallone had already largely taken over.
    Peters had crazy ideas, and Konchalovsky wanted something more grounded. Jon Peters would make a career of this, famously with Wild Wild West and the Giant Spider he kept trying to put in movies.
    Konchalovsky could make a good realistic action movie. Maybe serious Tango and Cash would be a classic. On the other hand, In 2010 Konchalovsky made his dream project, The Nutcracker in 3D, and Jon Peters' craziest ideas have nothing on that movie.
    The final straw for Konchalovsky apparently was about the whole super vehicle thing.
    I've also heard they were basically running without a script for all of the quarry sequence, which seems insane.
    ***
    Long Ghost Director story sort of tied to this film.
    This wasn't the first time Stallone Ghost Directed a movie. By many reports, Stallone had mostly ghost directed "Cobra" the year before for George P Cosmatos. I'm not entirely sure why this happened, although it seems largely like Stallone just felt like taking over and Cosmatos didn't care. It's possible he knew he could do this from Rambo.
    This is important because cut to 1993. T&C co-star Russell is making Tombstone. The Director, Kevin Jarre, can't hack it. The reports say he was behind, I've heard suggestions he was MIA. Somebody has to save the film, and that's Kurt Russell. Like Stallone here and with Cobra, he starts directing.
    But there's a major problem. With the director fired early, the union needs someone to be the director on the credits. With Cobra they never lost the director. With this film the director was fired late enough it wasn't a big deal to have a random director (Albert Magnoli) pop in and be uncredited. Tombstone needs an official director. So why not Russell if he's really directing? He's not a member of the director's guild. The unions won't let him direct. If he had come in as the director that could have worked, but they don't like letting an actor take over a production and he's not getting in this way.
    Russell needs a beard. I can't say that I actually know for sure, but some reason I assume that Russell, finding himself in this situation, looking back on Tango and Cash, called on his old co-star and asked for advice and Stallone said "Call George, he'll put his name on your movie". What I do know is that everybody knew that Cosmatos came into Tombstone to mostly hang out.
    ***
    Clint Howard is a little bit special. He's a national treasure.
    ***
    It's amazing how many no-strip strip clubs there are in Movies and TV. I think you can divide them into 3 types:
    1) Clubs where all the girls stip except the one the characters are looking for, who is played by a more important actress. She's still probably the most popular one.
    2) Clubs where none of the girls strip. Very popular on Network TV.
    3) Clubs where none of the girls strip or even stay on stage, but instead there are frequent randomly occurring sort sexy dances with some pretense of art or other talents. Dancers are famous like Road House bouncers, sought after for their short sexy routines. Maybe the dancer in question was a former 49ers cheerleader and Love Boat Mermaid so she can move a little, but the dance doesn't have to be good because it's really just about looking at a hot girl.
    This is obviously a Cat 3. These were more popular during the 1980's and into the 1990's when something this absurd could fly.

    Watched this for the first time at 9 or 10 on tv with my french grandpa. Old Marcel, tough bricklayer who had seen WWII as a teen, was quite a badass, and I remember him saying to me during the prison fight scene : "They're good guys, these two", talking about Stallone and Russell and how they threw themselves into the fight. In my 10-year-old mind, having my grandfather certify Russell and Stallone as badasses meant they were worth becoming a fan of theirs. And Hell this flick is a ton of fun.

I turned to RUclips to just have something on and came across your channel in my recommendations. It was your Hard To Kill review. It was amazing. For a few minutes I forgot how crummy I was feeling and had a legit smile on my face the entire video. Watched another review, enjoyed the hell out of it, and down the RedEye rabbit hole I went. Your sense of humor, the things you notice and point out in the videos, your writing and delivery are all top notch. And the sense of progression of your talent from your first video to, this, your latest has been a joy to see. Man, I got REALLY long winded here, but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work. Thanks, RedEye. You’ve got a fan for life.

At work, one of my colleagues and I still quote Jack Palance's line from this film whenever anyone says how easy something will be... "Quick and easy is how you bake a cake or clean a toilet bowl... NOT how you run a multi-million dollar business like ours."

    This is one of the most perfectly casted moviefilms of all time! When you've got Jack Palance playing the villain, you know you've got a good recipe going on.
    1:54 Very professional police work right there. There's plenty to go around, so make sure everybody gets a taste! Seriously, though, why do movie people always taste stuff? Interest in forensics isn't really a new thing. The detective genre has been around for a long time. So the audience DOES think about this sort of thing.
    2:31 Yer not gonna talk about his custom "discount James Bond" gun-boot?
    3:16 Check that muzzle, greenhorn! Look at him pointing that thing around willy-nilly!
    3:20 That's a Walther PPK/S (I looked it up on IMFDB since I'm more of a SIG/Sauer fantard). The rear sight actually is adjustable. Don't know how practical that actually is, though, since it's a subcompact backup pistol with a short barrel and short sight radius. Still a classy choice, though. Seems more like something Tango would carry. Cash is more the type who'd go for something that's cheap (in price, not quality) but also practical. Keep in mind that this movie came out when American cops were still using revolvers. Movies like Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, and Lethal Weapon predicted the future of law enforcement.
    5:06 Why does Tango wear suits and ties (dressing like a "banker" as his coworker points out) and why does Cash have an oversized laser marker on his hand cannon?
    5:30 Right-handed cops display their badge with their left hand, keeping the right hand at the ready. Transverse for southpaws. 'The X-Files' got that wrong and it was one of the few gripes ever "levied" (not "leveled") against that show. Anyway, notice how Sly's holding his piece left-handed. I read somewhere that he's left-handed, but in movies, we see him doing things ambidextrously. That makes sense since southpaws often learn to do certain things ambidextrously. In the First Blood movies, Rambo always uses a bow and arrow left-handed. But which eye is dominant? That's the real question. The eyes matter more than the hands when it comes to marksmanship (with ANY ranged weapon). Sly suffered nerve damage to the left side of his face when he was born in 1945 due to an intern making a mistake with a pair of forceps. That's why his mouth appears crooked. That's also why he has a speech impediment. But I'm not sure how much of his face was affected by it. I don't think his left eye was affected.
    6:00 Well, that's just mean! Dr. Edgemar is no Jabba!
    8:07 Brion James is one of the best "that guy" actors. He was in Blade Runner.
    9:41 Stunt guy's wearing the wrong kind of shirt. Notice the sleeves. I feel insulted by that oversight.
    10:09 Robert Z'Dar is also one of the best "that guy" actors. He was in Maniac Cop.
    10:12 Possibly an homage to 'Commando'. Vernon Wells is also one of the best "that guy" actors. Except I think his name might be too well known for that classification. Anyway, my generation probably remembers him most as Wez from 'The Road Warrior', Bennett from 'Commando', and Mr. Igoe from 'Innerspace'.
    10:27 Not dead, but definitely wounded. People in movies can always fall five times farther than what a normal person can withstand and they walk it off unless the plot calls for them to twist their ankle or something just for extra challenge or whatnot.
    10:53 Unfold that stock, greenhorn! "I'll bust ya ta zero, trooper!"

    Wow this channel is at 10k already? It reached 1k like barely a month ago. I can remember making a comment about that meaning videos could be monetized and would have ads put on them by RUclips. Well congrats on reaching that milestone so damn quickly.
    And that rant about the guy touching the chains not getting zapped is on point. I work with electricity for a living and have even worked on electrical things that are live before so I’m well across the risks with electricity. As far as that That little electro-torture game the bad guys were playing in that scene the only way that wouldn’t just outright kill tango and cash is if they had something controlling the current output of those cables they’re dunking in the water. It takes just 30 milliAmps of electrical current through the heart to be fatal. The conductors they’re dunking in the water look fairly thick like they can handle high voltage and high current , especially of they’re arcing like that which movies love because little lightning looking arcs are an effective way to visually convey the presence of electricity but that kinda arcing wouldn’t happen with the sort of really low current needed to not kill someone instantly. It is the sort of Hollywood trickery I have to pretend I didn’t see to prevent it taking me out of the movie.
    As much as I can shit on the movie for getting that wrong i should give it credit for getting it right about the bare overhead line that they use to zip line down. Technically speaking a person could safely grab onto a single line and as long as they’re not touching another line or the ground they’d be completely safe because they’d be at the same potential despite the really high voltages in those lines. Which is why small birds can perch on them with no trouble but larger birds whose wings can touch another line get electrocuted instantly.

      It is better to have a healthy respect for electricity and to be knowledgeable about it even if just a little bit than to be deathly afraid of it. Modern society couldn’t function without electricity so knowing just the basics is essential to being able to safely live with it in our lives.

      @@andychaffin740 absolutely, becoming an electrician was one of the best things I could have done as the skills I picked up have been really useful even if the industry itself has some issues over here. Being able to help friends and family by doing small electrical jobs off the books for cash while saving them a bit in the process is always a good feeling
      Fun fact I would have chosen to pursue a career as a plumber to be like super Mario if it wasn’t for my desire to set up an indoor gardening when I was younger and more willing to take risks. I was told being able to work with electricity was more used for that pursuit because the plumbing involved in that is fairly basic and I wouldn’t get much benefit in it from being a properly qualified plumber. They were one hundred percent right and being able to safely do electrical work was a huge asset to my old grow room. I haven’t done any of that for ten years now but it was a really enjoyable past time while it lasted.
