Tango & Cash (1989)

4/06: I've seen Tango & Cash many times, and I'm still surprised people don't think much of it.

A highly entertaining film, it has a great script with witty lines and one of the most exciting tandem in Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone. They're like fire and kerosene. Put these two together, and the screen ignites.

All in all, Tango & Cash is a can't-miss extravaganza.

3/16: Tango & Cash, which is the final Hollywood film of the 80's, still doesn't get the respect it deserves.

It has one of the most electrifying on-screen chemistry through Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone. The comedy works because they feed off each other so well. It helps when high-octane action is added to the mix.

The best part is the improbable prison escape. It'll never work, but the scene is fun to watch. The strength of the cast is impressive which includes Jack Palance, Geoffrey Lewis, Clint Howard, James Hong, Teri Hatcher, Michael J. Pollard, and the ever-funny Brion James with his fake Cockney accent.

All in all, it's too bad there's no sequel to Tango & Cash.
