It starts with "Rambo's a pussy" and ends with the most overplayed high-five in movie history but Tango and Cash is a good time. Basic plot: 2 super cops get framed, go to jail, get revenge the end. Insert an vast array of one-liners, some over the top violence, a whole lot of homoerotic undertones and you've got a film.
If you've never seen Tango and Cash and are not a fan of 80's action movies then stay far, far away. If you want to revisit your youth, check your brain at the door and see some shit blow up then Tango and Cash is for you. Cast wise Stallone and Russell are doing their thing so you know what you're getting there Terri Hatcher dances half naked for a while so that's cool. There's a lot of bad guys all led by Jack Palance who steals every scene he's in with some of the most ridiculous line reading in recorded film and I mean that in a great way.
The Blu-ray is about as good as can be expected I suppose, it looks better than ever but isn't exactly mind-blowing. The audio is loud but there's not much in the way of surround use and a lack on low-end. All that aside the movie's 20 years old so what are you going to expect?
It's not gonna top the list of my favorite 80's action movies (Commando and Road House) but I enjoy Tango and Cash to this day, I find it impossible to hate a movie that is so obviously meant not to be taken seriously. I can't give it a great score because my strict movie rating moral code won't allow it but man that high five is epic.
Ratings
Movie 3/5
Blu-ray 3/5
