Tango & Cash

It's a lot weirder and offbeat than you'd expect.

Reputed to have been the last film released in the 1980s, this buddy cop vehicle starring Stallone and Russell feels like a madcap mixture of every eighties cliche. Serving as a precursor to the likes of Hot Shots and Last Action Hero, the pair venture from one genre to another under 100 minutes.
Sure technically, it's a cop movie, but then it's a prison break film, a sitcom romance, a Max Max action flick, and to top it all off, the characters are outfitted with a battle ready SUV not unlike the Batmobile.
All the while, and making the film more interesting today, is the subtly gay subtext between Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone. Both of whom, to their credit, play the insane material just enough to wink at the audience. Jack Palance is having fun as the villain as is Brison James as his henchman. Unfortunately Teri Hatcher seems like an afterthought and for a moment I forget she was in the movie.
TANGO&CASH is too shapeless and manic to be considered exactly good. But it's interesting.
