Sylvester Stallone tries his luck with his first cop buddy movie in Tango and Cash, directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. Stallone is Ray Tango, a Los Angeles narcotics cop who dresses in fancy suits, wears wire-rim glasses, and talks to his stockbroker more than he talks to his mother. Kurt Russell is Gabriel Cash, another Los Angeles narcotics cop who has long, disheveled blonde hair and dresses in worn-out sweatshirts. Together, Tango and Cash are the two best narcs in LA, which causes drug baron Yves Perret (Jack Palance) no end of distress. Since Yves controls a billion-dollar drug empire, Tango and Cash have to be taken out of the picture in some way. So Yves arranges for Tango and Cash to be framed for a crime. But the duo accepts a plea bargain that will give them 18 months in a minimum-security prison. Unfortunately, Yves arranges for their destination to be diverted to a maximum-security hell-hole where Yves's minions proceed to torture Tango and Cash --although they still have time to trade quips with each other. Ultimately, they escape from their torture chamber and seek out Yves and his gang. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    I really enjoyed this movie. It's a very typical buddy cop movie, but Russell and Stallone are extremely fun to watch. It's loaded with action, corny one-liners, big cars and everything else you look for in an action movie. No surprises, but if you are an action move fan, it is a must see!

    I thought I would hate it but I didn't. It's not the typical 80s action movie, incorporating new trends like men with ponytails and black trenchcoats. As well as electronics and computers. Russell was still playing his "Little China" character and Stallone was starting to push his brawns-n-brains schtick. Neither actor was completely successful. Hatcher was cute as the 80s version of a damsel in distress. The movie is enjoyable 'til third act where it gets all crazy. Lots of explosions and gun fire and few casualties. Its still fun to watch [once] - just don't expect any twists.
