Bullshit Action Movies. That's that breed of dumb, but supremely entertaining action movies that usually exist direct on DVD these days. But back in the late 80's / early '90's they were everywhere...and none better than Tango and Cash.
Stallone has fun playing a chatty, smart copper...perhaps the closest he got to portraying himself onscreen...while Russell is a great foil. Jack Pallance climbs the Everest of Ham to out-ham the God of Overacting. Pure brilliance.
The plot doesn't stop for credibility, believability or anything too deep. And thank God, because there wouldn't be time to include world class one-liners "Freeze! Drop that duck!"...Kurt Russell in drag...inviting Mr Potatohead to the party on the roof...or Peter McDonald's expertely chreographed action explosion-fests.
Suddenly, my mortality concerns me. I wonder if heaven is as fun as Tango and Cash?

YEAAHHH!! Tango & Cash is mintage. Great fun.
Stallone and Russell are obviously having waaay too much fun in this film. Plus a young Teri Hatcher is smokin' hot as Stallone's dancer sister.
Quality rubbish of the highest order.
