Ray Tango and Gabriel Cash are narcotics detectives who, while both being extremely successful, can't stand each other. Crime Lord Yves Perret, furious at the loss of income that Tango and Cash have caused him, frames the two for murder. Caught with the murder weapon on the scene of the crime, the two have no alibi. Thrown into prison with most of the criminals they helped convict, it appears that they are going to have to trust each other if they are to clear their names and catch the evil Perret.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Mr-Fusion On the surface, "Tango and Cash" has got to be the most ridiculous buddy cop movie on the market. And I'm still trying to decide if this is honest-to-god satire or just an extremely calculated kitchen sink attempt at a genre movie. This thing's just one glib one-liner after another, and they are all extremely on the nose. Is there subtlety in this? Hell no, but it is entertaining. And there are moments that had me in genuine laughter.And I do say that that's all down to the two leads. Stallone and Russell are what make this work. You can tell they didn't come to set every day hating their work, that it's all just a gas, and that's what keeps the movie light and easy on its feet. That, and in-her-prime Teri Hatcher.It's loud, extremely silly, but still a lot of fun.7/10
ivo-cobra8 This was the last Action film from the 80's that Stallone made and it become my favorite Action thriller from my childhood. I grew up with this film. Tango & Cash is 1989 underrated Action "classic" film. The amalgamation of Sylvester Stallone's sheer magnetism, and Kurt Russell's commanding stage presence, has yielded a sonnet the likes of which all Films aspire to be. Stallone portrays "Raymond 'Ray' Tango" a highly decorated narcotics detective from Beverly Hills, who penchant for the stock market, has granted him not only the finer things in life but also a means to express his sophisticated nature and aspirations of financial independence. Stallone masterfully shows the dichotomy of a character who is highly educated and well mannered, yet is beset in a cesspool of crime and depravity, Tango yearns for a better society yet will not rest on his laurels of law and order. "Gabriel 'Gabe' Cash" portrayed by the immaculate Kurt Russell, is the antipodean of Stallone's level headed Tango. Cash is pugnacious, assertive, and jealous yet his diligence to enforce law and order at all cost define this tortured soul. Although this crass inner city detective has a disheveled appearance and tough exterior he is simply trying to hide his true feelings and desires for true love in an otherwise barbaric society. All in all this film is the crowning achievement of Stallone and Russell and the Hollywood film industry. It is a cut of history, when master Artisans the like of Russell and Stallone are brought together at their peak with visionaries leading them to produce what is their destiny FUBAR!!!!!!!!! It is my favorite best action film and the second Stallone best film along with Cobra from the 80's. I love the action sequences, the prison sequences, I love Robert Z'Dar as "The Jaw" in the film he is more memorable for me Matt Cordell as Maniac Cop from the 80's. That is why I love the films from the 80's and 90's more than I do now.Tango & Cash is a 1989 American buddy cop action comedy film that was mainly directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, although Albert Magnoli took over in the later stages of filming.[3] It stars Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jack Palance, and Teri Hatcher. The film was released in the United States on December 22, 1989.The film describes the struggle of Raymond Tango and Gabriel Cash, two rival LAPD narcotics detectives, who are forced to work together after the criminal mastermind Yves Perret frames both of them for murder.Two cops are framed and must clear their names. this was the only film directed from Andrei Konchalovsky that stayed in my memories from him. The director for me in unknown, sorry. Sylvester Stallone did great job portraying his character L.A. Cop Raymond Tango. Kurt Russell was awesome as L.A. Cop Gabriel Cash. Teri Hatcher as Katherine "Kiki" Tango was excellent as Ray's sister. Yes she was his sister not his mistress, girlfriend or his wife, she was his sister which I love in this movie! Jack Palance as crime boss Yves Perret was excellent villain. Brion James as Requin was amazingly tough guy villain. James Hong as Quan another villain was also awesome. The most awesome to me was Robert Z'Dar as "The Jaw" he was terrific in this film.I love this film to death I love it is my favorite film and I love it to death!10/10 Grade: A+ Studio: Warner Bros.

whirlingwonder Hilarious! A sweatpant fantasy by two inimitable retards acting within an unparallel series of deranged scenes, a film that would have served far better in a fictional novel, focused to tell the story of the bedtime delusions of an overdosing drug addict, plunged within the depths of an unending state of paranoid dementation.A movie inundated with stereotypical absurdities at nearly every moment, is no wonder why the only viewers to cite this movie with any realistic appreciation, could only suffer from an immense degree of infinite gullibility.Hollywood must be in utter admiration for a musclebound airhead to leap the stage, that thinks as if his brain was lodges up his ass, and utters every word from his mouth as if his tongue was swallowed in his throat, but what about those big arms of his? The film would have been much more fit for view, if the two of these flagrant neanderthals tied bandanas around there hollow heads and screamed cowabunga, but how could they well have done that without ripping off a classic youth movie, no less a cartoon, that yet displayed far greater intellect and creativity to it's viewers?
The Grand Master Back when buddy cop movies were box office gold such as 48 Hrs., Lethal Weapon, Red Heat, among others, the teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell together in an action movie was a dream come true for audiences. Both actors in their glory days were great. Unfortunately Sylvester Stallone had a hit and miss career in the 90's and had a string of box office flops next to his name (Judge Dredd, Assassins, Get Carter, Driven and D-Tox) before having his career resurrected with Rocky Balboa in 2006, and Kurt Russell is not the box office drawcard he used to be.Getting back to Tango & Cash, I first saw this as a 12 year old and I thought it was a really cool movie. Great action, great story, awesome actors, everything. Fast forward 12 years later when I decided to watch this again and I was left very disappointed. Tango & Cash certainly hasn't aged too well over time. Although the action is still good, the story is very predictable and many of the lines are very corny. There was too much comedy and it was as if the movie was trying too hard to be a comedy which almost ruined the quality of the movie.If you like "leave your brain at the door" fun, you will enjoy Tango & Cash. Otherwise, steer clear.6/10
