"Great 80's Action-Comedy!"
21 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Gregory Hines, Billy Crystal, Darlanne Fluegel, Dan Hedaya, Joe Pantoliano and Jimmy Smits star in this 1986 action-comedy. This takes place in Chicago, Illinois during Christmas time where we meet wise-cracking cops, Ray Hughes (Hines) and Danny Costanzo (Crystal). They try to pursue drug-dealer, Julio Gonzales (Smits) and are almost killed. They're forced by their Captain (Hedaya) to take a vacation and go to Key West, Florida where they think about retirement, but decide to wait to catch Gonzales. Fluegel (To Live and Die in L.A.) plays Danny's ex-wife, Anna and Pantoliano (The Goonies) plays Snake, a thug who deals with Gonzales. This is a great 80's flick, Crystal and the late, Hines were great together and I also like Michael McDonald's song, "Sweet Freedom." If you enjoy buddy-cop flicks, definitely check this out.
