Freaktana A Major Disappointment

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Smoreni Zmaj 6,3?!!! Really?!!! The only nominations it has are Razzie - Sylvester Stallone for the worst actor, Kurt Russell for supporting actress (I do not want to spoil by explaining this) and for the worst screenplay... I'm shocked! This is one of the mightiest crime action movies of all time, a cult movie as much as "Die Hard" is. Stallone and Russell are awesome tandem, the story is satisfying, action scenes are great, there are just enough funny lines, Teri is there to satisfy aesthetic needs, music by Yazoo and Alice Cooper,... Even I, who consider action movies to be the lowest type of cinematography, am thrilled. I'm sure there's no need to present this movie to those who grew up in the '80s and '90s, and you, kids of the 21st century, put it on your watch-lists immediately, and on top of it.9/10

randomhouser So just where does one sensibly begin to review a film of sheer nonsense? The story of two warped cops who are hell bent, at any cost, on rivaling for all the glory of fame. Ray Tango, a flagrant and inflated man, who ironically seems to have not a thing in his life to be inflated about, of whom although, is somehow financially well off, is madly bored from the dullness of his worthless life, and therefore, thankfully for the world, risks it everyday to pursue the criminal, because, to have made a real difference in it, could of course only begin and end with the permanent arrestation of himself. Gabriel Cash, a reckless cop, flowing with vanity, who becomes more criminal in his pursuance, than the criminals he actually pursues, just so to see his pitiful face on the back-page of a decaying newspaper. No sooner in the film, just when heaven seems to have done the city a great service, by having him shot to pieces in his own cave, disappointingly departs from it unscathed. Our third villain, Jack Palance, a Big Boss millionaire of organized crime, who seems with all his money, and all his connectivity in underground networking, to be just outright impotent in triumphing over two men of even greater impotence. Tango and Cash, framed as they become, for the sake of the city, in a staged sting operation, with forms of testimony, and manufactured articles, that could only be evidently admitted, in the most nut-bound asylum of courthouse quacks, signs and seals their guilt. If it has not become mad enough this far into the film, they no sooner thereafter happen to find themselves back home, in their chaotic stay of prison, combating with about three dozen unsupervised prisoners, within a dungeoness boiler room, unleashing drop kicks, groin punches, and what ever other barbaric tendencies form, from the privation of their frail and shriveled heads, until they at-length just get a bit overwhelmed and ungratified. Hung and ready for the torture of death appears out of a shadowy corner, Big Boss millionaire yven, descending both these glory-seeking deplorables, at his pleasure, into a tub of water with thousands of volts coursing through their bodies, and with no one to of course help them, is somehow happening in the place of a maximum security prison, without guards, and without rules, and with numbers of clamorous prisoners as free as birds, is of a scene that could only seem conceivable to, an audience of the most delusionaly demented. Finally come storming in, in this unbelievably absurd episode, are guards from all corners, and in all directions, just in time of course to save our two heroes, with Big boss , and everyone else scattering and slipping into the cracks of the walls, like scurrying rats, to remain unapprehendable, is again a segment that can only be at all realistically imaginable to an overdosing drug addict on every substance a white-coat could prescribe. During the view of this film, or should we call, fantastic dream, just when you think it has reached the height of it's absurdity, another scene convinces you otherwise, until you are at length astounded on just how excessive an unhinged imagination can leap.

zkonedog About three quarters of the way through this film, Kurt Russell steps out of a bar in drag. At roughly that same point, you will likely realize that it's a good thing this film didn't take itself seriously, as the only entertainment it provides comes in the form of cringe-worthy one-liners and some so-bad-it's-good back-and-forth between starts Russell and Sylvester Stallone.For a basic plot summary, the film opens with cops Ray Tango (Stallone) and Gabe Cash (Russell) as the heroes of the LAPD, albeit with completely different styles. However, when crime boss Yves Perret (Jack Palance) sets them up for prison time, the duo must learn to work together to bust out of the joint and bring down Perret once and for all.When evaluating whether or not this film is worth 100 or so minutes of your time, let me dispel one myth right off the bat: The reason it gets so many positive rankings here on Amazon (or anywhere) is because it has reached a sort of cult status among fans of, respectively, Stallone and action movies in general. This film barely came in over budget when all was said and done, capitalized on Stallone's Rocky/Rambo success, and was heavily panned by the critics. It even was nominated for three Razzie awards...ouch. However, it lives on as the epitome of Stallone's wise-cracking, blow-em-up, zero plot, high-octane film phase.In fact, the only reason I can give this film all of two stars is because of that so-bad-it's-good approach to watching movies. Clearly, this movie did not take itself seriously (and for good reason), so I can't really fault the "cringe humor" present in nearly every line of dialogue. Unfortunately, the movie takes "cringe" to a whole new level. It was more entertaining to watch then, say, Judge Dredd, but only because it was so flighty/humorous that it makes you laugh when you really shouldn't be.There are also some interesting casting choices in the film. A very young, very beautiful Teri Hatcher plays the primary female character quite well, but other than that it is very uneven. Russell really isn't an action star, Stallone (with the business suit and round spectacles) was trying his hardest to distance himself from Rocky/Rambo, and Palance is too esteemed of an actor to even be involved in the production in the first place, and it shows.Thus, I cannot recommend Tango and Cash to anybody besides die-hard Stallone/action fans, who will just get a kick out of it for the one-liners. Other than that demographic, please steer clear.

jdsherburn Tango & Cash Tango & Cash (Warner Bros., 1989) tells the story of two men looking to be the best LAPD detective there is by going about different ways. Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone) is a top L.A cop who works the big time and makes a lot of money which he shows off by the clothes and car he drives. The film starts in a fast car chase with Tango chasing a gas truck down the highway. He speeds in front and shoots the window, which in turns stops the truck. Police swarm in and start yelling at him for stopping a truck for no reason so he shoots the tank and cocaine pours out. One cop says to Tango he's reckless and thinks he's Rambo, Then Tango replies Rambo is a pussy. The action and the comedy at the start sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Gabe Cash (Kurt Russell) is a L.A cop who thinks he's the best and lives a lower class live. He goes after the guys that Tango won't waste his time on. These two end up pissing the main villain crime lord Yves Perret (Jack Palance) off, who sets in motion a plan to get Tango & Cash arrest and sent to a prison to have them killed, with the help of dirty cops. While in prison they end up joining forces to escape alive. They are tortured and beat up pretty bad, but with the help of Gabe Cash's friend and former commanding officer they make it to the top of the prison and use their belts to slide down a power line. They then go to Tango's sister's work, Katherine "Kiki" Tango (Teri Hatcher) helps them to her house. Cash and Kiki start to fall in love which pisses Tango off and there's a quick fight between the two. Soon Tango & Cash come together with a plan to stop for good Perret. They go to Cash's friend Owen (Michael J. Pollard) who loan them a weapon equipped truck and then they storm Perret's compound. Once inside they find out Perret's henchmen has Katherine, they end up killing the henchmen and then see Perret holding a gun to Katherine at which time Tango & Cash shoot him. They escape before the building explodes in the truck and joke about Cash wanting to date Katherine. It was a great movie with a lot of action and comedy. Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell play well of each other and use real life issues in their lives in the movie, like When Tango and Cash escape from the prison, Cash turns to Tango and asks if he stopped "for coffee and a Danish." Tango (Sylvester Stallone) says, "I hate Danish," an in-joke referring to his recent divorce from Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen. All in all a good movie in the action genre and worth seeing for any fan of Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone.
