I'm alive. Live everyone and welcome to the Nerdy of North podcast. It's a Nerdy podcast hosted by another Nerds I Am, one of your hosts, Sam. And I am action packed for action here with Action Lee.
Yeah! Hi. Hi. Who was that guy?
Who's that guy? Who's that guy? Yes. So yeah, we had a little bit of an idea there, actually, because we've been trying to do different things, spruce things up, make things a little bit interesting.
And I think, let's be honest, I do think Lee has been neglected a little bit, Lee, like, because he's a little partner in crime, who swans off to Holly, has been getting all the attention, he's been getting all the female adulation, getting, like, new podcasts, like, anime club and stuff. And, trust, I can't give Lee another podcast, because Lee does a lot. But I thought we'd dedicated a whole month to what Lee loves, and what does Lee love? He loves action.
Action, he loves cooking, he loves boobs. Hairless is hair? I've never touched a cookie in this. Have you touched careless hair?
I wish. I wish. Have you touched a boob? That's the thing.
I've got a child, yes! You couldn't have a child with that. That's the key, but wrong. I've had a child with someone, so I have done the sex.
You've done it, that's the thing. You've done the sex. Right. So, that's supposed to be so proud of the platter.
But yes, we are back, and we have the love of Lee. Lee's got a little bit of message he wants to give out as well, because he's been a bit sadly, haven't he? Why have you been sad? Well, Chris, Chris is in a better place now.
How nice. But I've got this t-shirt on in honour of Chris. Chris, gone, but not forgotten. Chris, I'm just one.
Chris, we're all thinking of you, especially me. Bless. I will remember you. I will remember you.
I will remember you. I will remember you. I want to be a homeboy, Chris. Chris has went and holed you, and we thought we wouldn't hear from him.
But let's be honest, he hasn't shut the fuck up. I did tell him. He was like, oh, I might be able to get some Wi-Fi while on there. Chris, unplug, turn it off.
Be with your family. Enjoy the time. No, he hasn't really hasn't shut the fuck up. He's still here.
I think formal is Chris's biggest. It's Chris's middle name. Chris. Chris, for more.
Chris, for more, yes. Oh, yes. So, Sammy, do you want to get the action packed to display our route? I will certainly do.
Yes. Everything's supposed to be today's episode, so there's opinions and opinions alone. If you would like to discuss anything from today's episode, I believe it's coming in on the Facebook group. You can join us in the Discord.
Or the comments section where we can have an open discussion. But what we won't have is anyone coming in first and tell us our opinions are wrong. Because we can all agree to disagree and abandon. So, let's keep it fun.
Kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of the notism. Well said there. Now, with us starting action here, Rob. Yeah.
And I think again, people can call us wrong because people have a lot of different favourite ideas when it comes to action movies. But let's be honest, the 80s kicked ass for action. The 80s was action. The 80s was action.
I like that. I thought I would start this off because there's a lot of different ways we could have went to. We could have went to the women. We could have went for die heart.
We could have went for even Rambo. But no, what I believe is the most 80s action movies that has ever been made. It's the last official movie to be released in the 80s in cinemas. Oh, okay.
And close off the 80s. It's like amazing film like this. I've got the tagline. And there is only one tagline.
Right. Okay. Only needed the one. Yes.
Two of LA's top rival cops are going to have to work together, even if it kills them. So yes, we are doing Tango and catch. I think it needs to be emphasised in this episode because Jesus Christ, if there wasn't a scene or if there wasn't a line, I think in the script it must have had exclamation mark, exclamation mark, at the end of everything and how the delivery. Now, the two, like Tango and Cash, I played by Carlos on Sylvester Stallone, which again, you think, does that partnership work?
Can that be, you think of, when you think of Sly, you think of Arnie, you think of Kirk Russell, he's normally like a one man team. He is an action star, but he's not known for action action. He's more of a performance like it's gave from earlier. It's given New York, big tour of Little China, Captain Ron.
He's got his own little market, but did you know who it was originally wrote for? No, I did. Hey, all this, I've asked this alone was in mind always, but the other one, and again, I could actually see it kind of working. Patrick, Susie.
All right. I don't guess. But the Swears goes off and does Road House. Yeah.
And then Kirk Russell comes in, but yeah, it was written originally for Patrick Swears in mind. I swisier, Nachty's leg doing Road House. Probably from all the kicks. I mean, I can't remember if there's actually that many kicks around, just think of the funny guy with all the kicks.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I only watched this today for the first time.
Right. It's not that well known, I would say. Like, I grew up on, I'm like, I grew up with certain movies. I think like say, Tango and Cash 48, I was Cobra over the top and stuff like that.
Came out like around about the same time. So there was a plethora of different action movies and the style of action movies as well. It was very. Elie or Miami cops, being bad, not following the rules, being renegades, drugs, boobs, blonde women, car, explosions, like that was quintessential.
It was like a martial arts movie because then you've got certain things like no retreat, no surrender and stuff like that. But this was, it felt like it was like, what can we put in a movie and what can stick? Literally every cliche here, every aspect, every speech, every little one liner was thrown into this and it's just fucking awesome. It's like watching it, but last night I was just like sitting there going, I'll take it because I remember it, but I never like with Tango and Cash, I enjoyed it when I was younger, but I enjoyed other films more.
I think that was a fair statement. But last night, this just blew my fucking head off. Yeah. I don't feel like I knew it growing up.
I really don't. Obviously I know the name because I, you know, people might be shocked. I don't actually live under a rock. But my first time ever hearing it is so daff is Matt, is there a Max and Patty?
Right. When he introduces Magnum and Steel, his comic book that he's been drawn up, he's got Magnum and Steel, Tango and Cash and that's where that's how I've heard the name before is through Peter Key. So with the label being the action maestro, shall we see, or the action adventurer, why, I'd say why you're such an action fan and why do you love this movie? So this was one of the videos that was in me covered of dreams growing up.
The cover that like under the stairs I had all the recorded videos off the TV. This was another one that I shouldn't have been watching when I was a child. Most of them, most of the videos were just still on Arnie. And this was one of my favorite ones and it has been just my whole life.
Usually on the birthday of being like, oh, let's get a takeaway. Let's take a full of them on. What do you want to watch? And this is always the first film that pops me head.
I love that. It's just ridiculous. It's a great film. It's not amazing because it's so stupid at some points and it's got some terrible lines.
No, it's got some amazing lines. It's just beautiful. It's like it's one of the best buddy couplums. Like to make it to the original buddy couplums even though there's ones before it.
Oh, I get that. I just when you think of the two actors together, I can't picture this working and it's not the reason and they do come from two. In my movie watching history, they come from two different genres. I know Kurt Russell from The Thing and Overboard because I've not seen any watch big trouble in China.
When did we do that? Only watch it last year. And the cilantro's always been rocky to me. So to kind of take them out of the rocky element and put them into something completely different.
And by the way, he looks fucking beautiful in this film. And there's some very great eye candy going on between Kurt Russell's hair. But then still ons trousers. My God.
It's absolutely true. It's when he was walking into the precinct and he had his suit and I'm like, hey, what's there? I think I just wanted to wanted somebody with the hair as the counterpart. Obviously it was always going to be stolen, but it seems like in the 80s, like there was Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson and Patrick Smazie.
And those three just seem to like always begin for the same roles where the could be in that. It was just the hair. I think that's a big and try it in traumas as well. When you sent me the picture last night of what you were watching, because of the hair, it took me a while to realise that you were watching Tango and Cash, because I thought you were watching they live because fucking Rowdy Rowdy Piper, I know that part was essentially Rolfa Kurt Russell, but Rowdy Rowdy Piper has the same hair.
It's the 80s hair. It's just magical. Lee. Lee.
I was literally just about to say it a few years ago, I was like, growing me hair out a bit. And I was like, are you not going to get a haircut? And I was like, I want Kurt Russell's hair. And she was like, no.
Please, please don't do that. But I always guess with certain lengths and I just cut it off because I get sick of it. I think it's because you're scared of losing your leg because you'd be so insatiable. All the nerdy women foreign and over you.
I have some amazing rulers. You can get stuck in your head. Oh, my God, you would look fantastic. Well, get them a wig.
We'll get this money a wig. Ha ha ha. Wouldn't it be hilarious if you just like, went and went, hold on. I don't know.
That's what I was thinking. Leaving a magic box of tricks. Yeah. This, as you said, I know we've like, give it a bit like, say a bit of an explosion as a start.
I think that's how kind of like the movie starts out. It is a adrenaline rush from start to finish. From the beginning, we get introduced to like the characters where the ones, I don't know, it's basically a tango is busy. Start off with a car, chious.
There's a truck being chious down and he just pulls up and it's so well done and so funny because it shouldn't work. He's a stand in the middle of the road. This big gasoline truck is barreling down towards him. He pulls out his gun.
For some reason he drops all the bullets. That's in his gun, first of all. Let's let a pen and trim it and run so they don't actually kill the driver. Right.
It's not a kill. It's not a shoot to kill. This maneuver is something Jackie Chan's done before. Yeah, I was reading about it earlier.
He was highly impressed with how well it came off. But you get to meet Stallone as an up. I don't want to see his uptight because he's really funny. When the two bad guys get thrown out of the lorry, he's like, nice of you to drop out.
Have some jury. Help yourself. And he's just, but he's smug and he's smarmy and he knows what he's doing, especially when that cop's like, I want you to fuck a badge. I'm going to take a good job.
Who do you think you are, Rambo? Rambo's a pussy. The amount of times I've seen this, the other day when I watched it, I'm embarrassed about this being such an action fan. But this is the first time I realized that the guy that flies out the window is the ring him to me.
I never realized it was Conan. He said, Conan, down around what he's called him. He called him Conan, didn't he? Yeah.
He's the guy that comes out the window at the start. Yes, yes. I knew that. When he's in the middle of the run, I was like, what happened to your face?
Your jaw? Jesus. But then he kind of shoots him, shoots him out the way to prove a point. He's like, I'm the best kind of thing.
And then you met with a counterpart that is Cash, who is just, he's done exactly the same as what Tango has just done, just really half-assly. It's almost effortless for him, but a bit messy. Not so cocky. Yeah, it was a brilliant introduction at the time of them.
I love that even the music, she was a bit of a contrast between them. I feel like Stallone's probably kind of behind this as well being like, what Chris said about Phoebe, you're the day going like, I am the star of this show. I feel like that's what Stallone's done. But if he's in roll, mate.
I feel like it's going to be peer, like a cool scent music. I feel like a bit of a cool, cool scent music. But the Curve also doesn't roll, it's like, my own. It's like a bumble and full music, isn't it?
You're probably right, because I said Stallone at this time was probably on as high low as Fiamen Powers. like the chemistry works so well is because you can tell Kurt Russell is just having a wildest time like he's just having the blast. Like you can see him smiling at more scenes and stuff like that and interactions and it's just brilliant to like their kind of like the court scene, like when they're in court together. And it sucks.
But this is how ridiculous like these type of action movies were in the eighties. It's like these two cops have been charged with murder, corruption, and not only other in the same together, they're in the same court together they're in doing the same plays together. If this was a real situation them two would have been separated so they can't collaborate stories they can't make me ex it up. It was just absolutely ridiculous.
And then how like we got moved from what was like a nice easy present to present where nobody knows where the went. And it was just like, hey people for this in a corruption upon corruption upon corruption. When they get caught though, which is probably the funniest scene in there when the police all pile in and the guy honestly he was working for that fucking paycheck, where he was like I'm going to have years like proper shouting at them I was like whoa there. It can't be all that serious.
What got me though is the amount of people I recognize through this but couldn't see all that's such a surge. Like I mean Clint Howard, which is just brilliant. But then there's also it's like yeah. I was ready to strap with this.
And the oh gosh there was another one who was in the guy the tech guy he's from Scrooge. There was just so many people who I was like oh I recognize you. I don't know who you are. I couldn't say your names.
So I love that. I forgot Jack Polancy was the main bad guy as well. So I was like yeah I fucking love this guy. And he went full full like probably more than one.
It was like during the chase scene at the end when the cars like flying explosion and he's sitting in the and he's going yeah get him. Yeah. It's funny. He's got the little mouse and he's going my beauty and I'm like you.
Swapping out with a cat. Do you know like you don't like you don't like him. That wasn't even meant to be in the film. They just wrote him.
It would be a bad guy. But he went to the zoo with these like kids the week before or something. So some nice and just decided I really like mice and he just bought some and decided that we're going to be part of these character. And I was like oh.
I was like it was even so intriguing as a bad guy. And he was very calm as well. And quite like it's almost like he didn't give a shit. He didn't give a shit.
It went well or not. You know what was the most interesting choice and I'm going to use the word interesting because I don't want to do anything negative to this movie. I'm having an American with the worst Dick Van Dyke British accents. And as an assassin.
And the guy who's brilliant. He's been in action movies and he plays always plays like I've a dodgy bent car or someone's friend. You waker. Haven't played like there was no need to have him as a British accent.
It made more interesting story. It was just fucking bizarre. It took this sinister. He could have been very sinister.
And it made it like. It was all cartoonish or scooby dooish but he originally only had a line in the movie until still one heard the accent he was going to use and went. Give that man more lines. That's a stupid decision.
Like go get this great idea more pants. I need more of this. Yeah. Yeah.
So long was like I love this guy. I love what he's just doing. Let's do more. And he was it to me that I kind of did break things up a bit like because there was a lot going on at some points and you're like, Oh, well, that was a choice.
Because he was generally medicine in the geo when when Tango and Cash gets walking up and taking to the laundry room and separated by like the scores of different when he comes at them with like this. I was like, Oh, that's quite nice. And then he talked. I was like, okay, any tension or anything that you've wanted to build in the scene as just throwing out the window.
And it was like, you could even see very Kurt Russell trying to stifle laughing when he was talking as well. And that was hilarious. It was interesting what Lee said earlier in our group chat. I didn't know that there was a cut version of this film.
I think because the version I had was when Conan got pressed up against the bars and the electrician electricity torture scene. I remember I didn't know that was called out the movie. It's just like some of the UK versions have like they don't get dipped in the water in the electric hood. The police Russian and everything.
I saw them get electrocuted. So that's the one I saw. And then the scene where the meets Conan face and it's like, you know, this guy's like, Oh, no, I can't remember saying that bit. Oh, well, no, I didn't know there was a quick version.
Because when you say the quick version, I was like, Oh my God, what am I going to have? Can I just watch the first one that comes up? Do I have to go and look for an alternative one? It's strange that they're not even that bad.
Like the open and scene with Kurt Russell where he's in that cotches. It's because it's like, Oh, this is 80s. We need a boob in this scene. And people have a sex in the car and there's a boob pops up and it's like, that could just be a cotches scene.
Yeah, there's boobs galore later on. And did anyone else notice Terry Pratchett had an amazing stunt woman doing her dancing for her? Because that's not her. When she was playing the drums, I was like, Oh, oh no.
Oh, yes. When she goes off and does our splits and our twists and our turns, and that is not her. You can clearly see that somebody else's face. This is Terry Hatcha before, Superman, Vietnam before desperate housewives.
So she's beautiful. They did the whole like switch in beer to other thoughts that her person was having sex on the when she was giving him a massage and then they had the whole tension between Tango and Cash because he's good. Was he sister? Yeah, because they had that moment in the garden where he's going.
I didn't know she was a girlfriend. And as he says, girlfriend, she goes, he goes, sister. And I'm like, what? What?
It's switch. Why was she making all those noises when she was doing the massage? Like, there was no need for her to be getting that excited. Have you done a deep tissue massage before where you've managed to move someone's muscle about?
I was just mean. On top of it, just be like, listen, Paul, just say quiet. I mean, the question is, would you not make that noise if you were sitting on Kurt Russell's back? Yeah, that's a question for you.
I think Kurt Russell could make him more than just what he's brought to Jake's alone. Possibly. And then James, honestly, this was an absolute, you've got your boobs later on, women and men got it absolute delight with them too. Yeah, absolutely beautiful.
One of the greatest prison escape scenes ever as well. Like the whole, it was absolutely ridiculous because no prison guards or like things would be this useless. It was kind of like everyone running the wrong way. Almost like a sort of scooby-doo, you know, when the bad guys are chasing the good guys and you see them going in different rooms and then crossing each other.
That was kind of like the element that you had, but this is why you didn't see any different. I'm just like, nobody needs to see the details of how they got out of prison. But it was absolutely fantastic. It's like the one, it's a con-classman's one line is because then the whole film is just a dialogue of one line.
But they're chemistry and the way they spoke to each other. It was like you could, you could generally feel like they've been friends for many, many years. Yeah. But I don't know what their relationship is.
I don't know where they stand. So they didn't, they're not of each other. I have never worked with each other. I was like, say that was a different cutlerfish, isn't it?
Yeah, because that was the whole thing with the being west side, east side, whatever, because we've been said, so they have different different cops doing certain things. So that's why Jack Clancy has a meet with these two like criminal underlords and was tangles, causing problems for you, cash is causing problems for you. We need to solve it with solution. And that was kind of like the thing we got because again, he's thinking was clever.
It was like, we can't kill them because that would bring them as martyrs and the police would come down harder on us. Let's kill the reputation and send them to prison. And then, like say, we can have, like say the shock we have and it gives them a bit of like breathing space, but the, the after effects for that, what should have happened is the corrupt cops or everyone should hear them. So the convicts could hear them.
The police should have hear them. But for some reason, the police didn't hear them. The police didn't hear them. The police were like, yeah, cheering them, still believe them.
It was like, okay, that kind of flipped didn't work as much. So when the escaped, they were just walking around earlier, no disguises, dressed exactly the way they are, and no one was stopping them. And there was only one woman to where there was kind of like a, oh, I've got them cornered so that they do, probably give Kurt Russell inspiration for too long for a fool when we get them dressed as in drag, which is an amazing thing. My goodness.
I don't even think I've seen legs as beautiful as that. He looked amazing. And I love the fact that he does this quite a lot when he goes to read just something. He does it with his middle finger.
And he's too, yeah, but he does it quite a bit. And he does it with his glasses, he pulls them down and pushes them back up again. He does it with a gun as well. Yeah.
Little bits like that I picked up on them, but separately, they are brilliant together. They are absolutely fantastic. Yeah. This next year, this movie deal was, and we had two last week with Laura and Ari, we've got to like, say, Danny Glover and.
Oh, good. And I can say, I'll create my chemistry. I think this probably is, if it wasn't so easy and so out there, it probably would have a better following because I'm surprised that they didn't follow the top of the Tango and catch two. Because there's been talked about it for years, but now.
Oh, that's too late. High five at the end man. That's cemented and absolute sequel that it really did. That was the build up though.
That was kind of like the little thing. It's like, all the further almost did high five, but never did it because of the kind of cemented. High five and it's like, just me, my sister. And it's like, well, Terry, I was like, well, why don't you just admit he's working really well together and I was like, is it going to happen?
I don't know how it could like, because I mean, Stallone works in Beverly Hills and lives in Beverly Hills because he's rich and he's like, oh, you're almost broke up. But Kurt Russell's like, he's definitely through her is me. He's in the slum. Getting changed in the elevator there.
And he was devastated that he had marks on it and stealing that pizza as well. Yeah. Yeah, there's a different definitely different contrast between the two of them, but that's obviously why it works all well. But then going to prison, I think that has to bring Stallone down to his level because obviously he won't have his money or his like contacts or anything like that.
And he has to kind of rely on Kurt Russell a bit more and that weird tech guy. It's so strange. It was almost like this was like the 80s version of an American Bond movie type thing because I've had like the tech eye is Q. He's like a captain who was trying to help as well.
But you mentioned something before about like the weapons that we use. Now, can we just talk about the guns for a moment? Because normally, like in action movies, you have like a specific style of gun. I think Arnie always has to hang out with the biggest ones and they always have like cool things.
Stallone rocked a little, a little pea shooter thing, but looked at what it was. Look at me trying to think I know what kind of guns. But then we had Kurt Russell with his futuristic thing with his like box with Lee as a slight side. Yeah.
And I was like, what the fuck is that? So different like contrasting and not what you're expecting for these type of movies as well. Because you expect like, oh, like to be the slickers are cool is looking gone and stuff like that. And even when they get the like the vehicle, the vehicle, like say, you expect it to be like this cool like home.
Or like 80 style sports car. No, it's a minivan with a mini gun to the side of it. It's the team you're back on the old. The 10th one cash reveal.
This is the only part of the film that I don't really enjoy. Right. It's just it's so stupid. The car makes no sense like the RV from hell.
And who's shooting the guns? The producers have just went, oh, we haven't had many explosions in this film. Could we do some now? How many?
Yes. All of them. You've got to think of the 80s. It's so new and especially coming out of the 80s.
It's so new money. It's so new technology. It's like more is better. I get where the whole tech side of it comes from and how flash, still on ears with the socks, she suits and he's very lovely glasses.
Yes. He's glasses too. He was very pleased. He could see for once.
That picture, he could play a grownup Harry Potter. Oh my God. Yeah, he could. I'm sorry, but it takes rides and gets angry.
It's allegedly. It's allegedly. It's allegedly. It's allegedly.
It's allegedly. It's obviously took a growth on one. It's like some animal growth on one. He did get a lot of plastic surgery.
He didn't, I'm not making this up like he's gone. He's got plastic surgery because when he was born, he, um, the four steps damaged the nerves on the left side of his face. Yeah. That's why he's got the, oh, you're a group.
Oh, he looks so different from like Rocky one to Rocky four. There is like such a huge difference in them in the look. Yeah. And this is what I think takes a lot of people by surprise with this movie as well, is because the performance from Sloane is so different to the Sloane that we've normally got.
We've normally got the money or crazy Rambo or like say the level loser in Rocky. This is so put together. He's so polished. And he's, as I said, he, he's got his shit together and he's good at what he does.
And he's got a bit of arrogance to him. But again, if you're the number one cop in, uh, in LA, you have that arrogance as he keeps on telling Kurt Russell's. Yeah. Um, but it's just an interesting change from the Sloane that we normally get.
Hey, great. They referenced, um, Sloane's movie, Rambo to him. They referenced a Kurt Russell movie to him. And I can't remember what it is now.
Was it not the scare from LA or something like that? It might have been something because I was like, Oh, clever, clever little bunny is getting that in there. But I can't remember what movie it was. I know this is an action movie, but again, just because of the references and the complete ridiculousness of certain aspects of it.
Would you class this as a kind of a parody movie? No, it's got a comedy action, buddy cop movie. Yeah. It's not.
I generally think it's trying to be serious, but with a very, with an undertorn of funny. I don't think it's trying to be the undertorn is pissed. Yeah. I don't see that.
I feel like they generally thought they, I think that I thought they were doing a funny buddy cop movie. It was just an interesting thing. I thought last night when I was watching, I was like, just because of the elements. And I just said the Jack Blansey's character being all bon villain with rats and cats.
And then you get the RV from hell and then the multitude of explosions and just how ridiculously are. It's like, what are they trying? Again, I don't know what happened if like the original script changes and stuff like that. Like I said, that might have been the vibe.
Because remember the movies that came out with the time as well. There was a good movies, police squad. So parties were like, say a big thing. So it was kind of like this was almost on the line a little bit, especially with the tech guy and like when the van gets crushed, he's because why you guys are talking to me anymore.
What's happening? The way it ends as well. It's like, it doesn't really tell you, like I know we get the news people article saying heroes are back and stuff like that. It doesn't really explain how they got themselves.
Because they've just killed everyone that was basically involved. Yeah, there's no evidence left. You've just killed everyone off. They've got the tear.
Sorry. I love the fact that the news people played a part in the story telling. Like every time, like every time something happened. Like you got the two, the story at the beginning, the two different cops, highly regarded, you know, back page, Kerasil.
And then it just threw out as like the court case and everything. And then heroes again. It's, I find it crazy in these films as well. Where there's always the main cop in the film, always has newspaper articles where it's like hero cop strikes again.
But in real life, have you ever seen like a hero cop who keeps getting in the newspaper like every single week? Is there any cops out there like Tango on cash? If we had a place officer that was blowing shit up on a daily basis, I think it would be in the newspaper. Because of this, like this exact compensation right now, I was looking for this the other night to see if there's any hero cops in real life like this.
And there's plenty of stories, but it's only ever like one situation and then these people have never like gotten into the newspapers again. Like there's one cop who had a fight on a flaming garage like Pecosation 4-caught where he kept getting stabbed and then still getting back up just to stop this guy from blowing up the 4-caught and managed to like stop him and arrest him and survive. It's like, it's like, what I'm doing is fucking heroic. That sounds like something out of an action movie, but then this guy just doesn't get turned off again.
He probably retired after being stabbed like 30 times or however many. I probably get to work on something like that. Now, one of my favorite scenes in this movie, and again, it'll stick with us after. Yeah.
Food bar. I remember that from but as a cage, people used to say food bar. I'm going to let Lee tell us what food bar is. Hucked up beyond the whole recognition.
Ah Lee, you are so good at food bar. Especially when Chris sees this video. Yeah. When he comes back from the angles.
It does give us some amazing lines in this film. But I think most of them come from Kurt Russell. Yeah. I can't think of any Stallone line in this film where I go, oh, that was amazing.
Like you pin some guy against the French and he's like, look at your diet. I say, why are you talking about these spaghetti? See something cool. Yeah, by the look of your diet, I don't think you can calories.
Now, probably not. Don't be kidding. Then when he gets the cork, he's like, does anybody want to get high? Yeah.
He's, you know, he reminds us of its tracks. Right. He's like, he's funny. He's, he's funny.
He's literal. Whereas Kurt Russell's is just. It's more, it's more, it's more playful and like kind of going with the stuff. And don't worry, P.
We the other one will drop soon. That was a great scene, by the way. I thought you might enjoy it. That was a brilliant.
You can tell Sammy's been home for a while. You know, we have two weeks, but I'm home. Look, I'm home. But then she's like, oh, yeah, I can look at Stallone's but oh, that's good.
Oh, look at that little dimple there on his left side. It's been a great Friday morning. I thought you were on a bit flush. But yeah.
But I'm, as I said, I'm surprised this movie isn't more well known, especially with the name of the film as well. Tango and cash. It's one of those, that kind of sticks with the end. It goes there by no, within abundance of action movies that were out during the eighties as well.
As I said, I'm surprised this movie isn't more well known, especially with the name of the film as well. Tango and cash. It's one of those, that kind of sticks with the end. It goes there by no, within abundance of action movies that were out during the eighties as well.
It was probably, as I said, the last action movie that came out of from the eighties with everything that hit. There was probably a big, as well, a lot of people felt with the Marvel movies, I can say a little bit of action fatigue, shall we say. Because there's very little breaths or breathes in this movie where you can feel relaxed or sit down. It is basically full throttle from the start to the end.
There's no kind of relaxing moments in there. There's a few, as you said, bits where you laugh. I don't know if there's bits where you meant laugh at times. The Howard brother, I can't remember his name now.
When he's basically trying to intimidate the lones in the prison with the slinky by saying. That's my best friend. I killed him. And the slo is like, okay.
And he froze the slinky at him. And then the next thing you've always seen one, where the slo is going to get the doctorate. And two, he's kind of like being given a mask of slinky, which is this one of the most like hideous things that you'll ever say it's scary in the most horror. Then films like the reaction, but he's just like, and poor Kurt Russell, who's sell me at is the size of like a house.
He's being crushed underneath a bunk bed bunk, which is never going to be fun for anyone though. Then the walk to the prison instillone goes, I hate litter. This is where the 80s is amazing, because I'm sorry, but how the I know I'm never being a prison and hopefully touch what I never will say you're present. So, but I don't think that's what life inside of a prison is like, for example, where you're walking along and then there's just random fires.
Just for no reason. I'm sure. Yeah. It's everywhere.
Just random fires. I mean, I know that the prison system in America is very different than ours because it is privatized. So it's not run by the government, which I was is so they may get away with a little bit more. But that was very movie prison.
It's not great. Great job. I feel like I'm still on kind of has a fantasy about breaking out of prison because there's just so many things like this. There's the new ones with the did with onnie, the escape plan, but also another one of my favorites to loan for him came out, literally a couple of months before tango and cash lock up, which is where he's like, friendly on.
He's been in prison for a few years and he gets transferred to a maximum security prison and he has to try and escape and. I love him. I was like, he was lovely. He was a little bit there.
There's one small movie that I absolutely adore and for the life of this. I can never remember the name of it. It's where he's in the tunnel. Oh, dear.
That's it. Oh my god. I absolutely love that for me. And we have this like, more than a level go right.
It's action action movie time and we'll start with daylight and then we'll go like cliffhanger and then we'll just go like start like go through them all to the point where we're like, we need to stop now. With any type of action movie and stuff, it ticked all the boxes that had my corruption, I've had abundance of boobs, as you said. There's something for everyone in this movie. So the big question now, if you had to choose, are you going with tango or you're going with cash?
Who would you want to do partner? I'm going with cash. So all picking Kurt Russell or best of all. The hair, the attitude, the hair.
It's just, it's just, it's all there. And he has a boot that shoots bullets. Exactly. He's a bit more.
Still, one is or tango is very smart. Yeah. So he's very calculated in what he does, whereas cash is very just, let's just fucking do it. That's just fucking.
There was one thing I wanted to bring up as well. Sorry. Just because you mentioned like the cash, the beginning she has seen where he's like someone's got to hit out on him and he's like someone's trying to keep like basically trying to kill. He takes two shots to the chest in a vest.
Yeah. And the letter tell you to say, oh, I've got to pull a proof first on. There's no way he was wearing a bulletproof vest, because he was wearing like a shirt and a vest, like you could. See it.
It'd be some kind of, unless I say completely, strapturing his chest. So that means there's hardly any protection there whatsoever. I didn't care. Or Paul's because we took the vest off.
He walked through the station when he top on. So I wasn't, I wasn't quippling over that. So I just want to think, I've just had a thought about the whole who would you pick as your partner, Tango Cash, cash is so much cooler. But also on the other hand, imagine after work, Tango being like, Oh, do you want to come out?
I've just like, we stocks have gone up. I'll take you for a steak dinner or cash being like, Oh, do you want to come and sit in me apartment? Like, I've got like three beers in the fridge and me tell you's not working. So what you're saying or says money equals friendship, you know, but like, I can't imagine what like cash would be like outside of work.
It just seems like he just couldn't sit in his apartment and he's vest and no, I think, I think he's got three beers in the fridge. He's going to make that work. And then he's going to actually like have some, he's got some phone is going to come from us. Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I can't see. You probably be like, Oh, let's go to a barn pick up some women and I'll go in and be like, Oh, look, there's two women over there and he'd leave with them both and I'd be buying myself. Oh, yeah. If you're not going to grow the hair, Lee, then it's your fault.
You can be happy with brothers. That's the thing. Oh, I shouldn't do this to like, because he is very like, what we tell him to do is to be kind of. You're very impressionable.
So again, I'm going to change the rating system a little bit for this movie, because I don't think it's fair to rate this, like as a normal rating system by saying, how do you rate this movie? And generally out of like thing, how it's all I'm going to read as out of action. So as an action movie for everything that would take the box, what you're reading this out of five, not as a good movie or like what you would think it's a pretty movie as an action in action genre. That's correct.
Yeah. Okay. I'll go because Lee will have to think about this one. I think probably not.
That is what all Lee has done is thought think about this since we said we're doing kind of a time. Yes, true. I am going to go five. Five.
This took five minutes, five minutes for me to message Paul and go, I'm fucking loving this. We hadn't even been introduced to Kurt Russell properly. And I was, I was in it. This action.
There's one line is this Kurt Russell's hair. There's books. There's boobs. If there's action, there's car scenes, there's prison breaks.
There's everything that encompasses for me in action. It has to be a five. That's all the movie for anyone. That's the time.
Yeah. What about you Lee? As an action movie of five. If you just said as a movie, like, I know you've got this rule where if you would change something, you can't give it a five.
So as a movie, I would only be allowed to give this a four because I would change that and obviously and make it something slightly different. I don't know what I can. Yeah, even a tank would make more sense. Like, but, but as an action movie, it's got everything you need.
It's got explosion. It's got the that's why I can't go back a little bit. I did get a little bit of a parody vibe just because it was kind of playing back all the different tropes from basic everything that we had seen from the eighties. by just because it was kind of playing back all the different tropes from basically everything that we had seen from the 80s.
So it was kind of like getting a mix and ball of all the different 80s genres or 80s action films. Like all is a bit of a cop here, there's a bit of exploration here because all this thing, there's a music here, we'll put it all together and this is kind of like what it came out with. This is our tango and cach. Well, yeah, as an action movie, I have to agree, there's very little, this doesn't tick the box.
So I would I have to give it a five as well. It's just so interesting and different, but familiar at the same time, it's unapologetic. It knows what it wants to be. It doesn't try and hide or pretend any pretense or say, oh, this is going to be the next Schindler's list or anything like that and try and be like, all dark and moody.
And because that's that's the problem with a lot of movies that we get these days, not saying that movies will get as bad. But they forget that there has to be enjoyment and like you can be silly, you can be absolutely ridiculous. They think everything has to be tied up in a nice little neat wall because people online are getting smart. I agree.
But people as well, like viewers as a public, we have to remember this movie magic Israel, you can lose yourself in a movie that can be silly, that can be just full throttle. Like, will this maybe ever win any awards? No, is that acting in this brilliant? No, but did I fall in love with the characters?
Yes, because the characters aren't realistic, but the basic cartoon of themselves to a point where you said this is just fun, fun, like a fun conversation of fun. Yeah, we have to remember what movies are actually made for, and this is shea entertainment, there's no bullshit. There's butts and boobs. So what again, I know we read a bit early, but I just want to ask as well, what was your favourite moment in this movie?
We'll go to the first, now I'll come to Sami, because Sami likes to think. The prison breakouts, right? Which part of the prison break? Because I was in three stages.
Probably the whole roof bit where he's got a fight face and like the dive under the electrical thing, even though they're like, oh, like, if you're not touching the ground, you can't get electric good. Oh, is that right? I think so. It's kind of right, but I still think they would die.
I love that face guys. Well, I'm sure he's kind of in his face. I've got to keep calling Conan. And he's had a weird life as well.
Like, he was born with Cherubism, which is why he's like faces like this. Jip and the Joel. Apparently he used to be a musician. And then he was a Chippendale dancer as well.
You know who I thought he was? When I first saw him? I thought he was a young statement to go. Well, I actually thought he was related to the guy who was in one clue of the cookers nest.
I mean, just about in these roundies eyes and I was like, oh, no, I was like, no. And I didn't realize that was a, I had no idea. His real name is Robert Zazar. Yeah.
I don't know if that's his actual accent as well or not, or if they just went, oh, well, we're going to call you Conan. Can you do a bit of a money thing for me? Bring it to me. If they're going to let somebody do that, absolutely horrific English accent, then yeah, they probably had absolutely no problem with it.
Well, then pull them around the roof and like, I don't know how what it's like that on a rooftop, but it was like a pond that was coming out and it's time to walk the dog. Come, go. There was a call back. They never actually went back to when we discussed in, if you touch electricity and your foot's on the floor, you don't get electrocuted.
And that's how he got, that's how he died and nobody came back to it and went, oh, no, it's such a, because the boys were like, yeah, I knew that. And then they're like, did you know that? And he's like, I don't know, actually. And he's like, well, I don't know either.
And then that happens later on. No, you will get electrocuted. You're even if your foot is on the floor. So the boys are going to get back to it?
That's a rubber sword. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Sammy, what was your favorite bit?
