film report: Tango & Cash

A film I half-saw in my teens, but only now watched from beginning to end. It is definitely one of the great 80s action/buddy-cop films with Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell as maverick badass cops forced to team up to take out some nefarious individuals. It hits every note perfectly: the protagonists have carefully distinct personalities & lifestyles, the bad guys are horrendous & grotesque, there’s a great deal of homoerotic humour, and of course a scene in a strip club, and a scene with Kurt Russell in drag. What more could you possibly want?
