TANGO AND CASH (1989) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Easter egg: not only does Stallone reference another of his roles, Rambo, so does Russell, when he's in the club and says "hey, Elvis." He played Elvis in one of the best biopics of Presley.

"He took it on the chin, he's good" best quip ever 🤣 If you love Kurt Russel Backdraft is a great film of his, kind of film you can watch many times and not be bored.

Delayed? Bummer. This one is a classic. If you take it for what it is and don't look for something deeper... Vintage action cheese that isn't trying to be something different. I loved it. Probably seen it 20 times.

With you on a Kurt Russell binge, you need to watch Escape from New York. That is Kurt Russell at his most awesomeness. And if you want more Sylvester Stallone, you should watch Demolition Man. This was a great movie and they had good chemistry.

Pure 80s action perfection

When I was a teen, I used to watch this like once a month (sometimes more) for about a year when this first came out on VHS. Love it!!! This movie gave me a crush on Teri Hatcher... who plays Lois Lane in the 90's tv-show "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman"... and also plays the love interest in a action comedy called "Brainsmasher... A Love Story" with Andrew "Dice" Clay... who is also the star in his first big movie called "The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane". Fun entertaining cheesy movies.

"Why just use your Plan A?" "Because it's a hell of a lot better than your Plan B, which you don't even have." Fun Fact Fact: The glasses Sylvester Stallone wears early in the film are his own, not props. He usually wears contact lenses in his films. The lenses show that he is very near-sighted in one eye, less so in the other. Plus, he has astigmatism. You're Fired Fact: Director Andrey Konchalovskiy was replaced toward the end of principal photography by Albert Magnoli. In his book of memoirs, Konchalovsky says that the reason he was fired was because he wanted to give the film a more serious tone than the producers wanted and, as such, his relationship with producer Jon Peters became untenable. Konchalovsky, however, has nothing but praise for Sylvester Stallone, who he states was a constant voice of reason on the set. Expanding Roles Fact: When Brion James was originally hired to play Requin, it was a very small role with only two lines. In an effort to give the character something that would make him stand out, James decided to speak in a horrible "cockney" accent. Sylvester Stallone loved it, and re-wrote the script to give Requin a much bigger role. The same thing happened with Face, played by Robert Z'Dar, who was originally not meant to appear after the opening scene but Sylvester Stallone and Andrey Konchalovskiy took a liking to Z'Dar and thought his appearance was so striking he deserved a larger role in the film.

1. This movie is criminally underrated. I'm hoping to see other people do this one. CLASSIC!😎 2. There are tons of clever quips in this movie. The BEST is: Stallone, "Rambo is a pussy." 3. Brion James played Leon in the 1984 Blade Runner with Harrison Ford. 4. Clint Howard played the slinky guy.😎 5. Owen is played by Michael J. Polard. 5. GOOF: Tango would have been electrocuted dipped in the water chained up like that. 6. If you like Kurt Russell you must do "Escape From New York". 7. A great movie that has rapid fire one liners is "The Last Boy Scout" with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayens. Seriously cool death included😎

"His chin is strong." Robert Z'Dar. Bit actor in movies ranging from this to all the worst B-movies in the 1980s and and 90s. First making waves in the grindhouse classic "Maniac Cop," as the titular villain, this is probably the high water mark of his career. He had a genetic condition that made his chin grow into a lantern jaw like that. At first it made him look really handsome and he even worked as a chippendale dancer for a bit. Unfortunately it didn't stop at puberty, and it kept growing until he looked pretty deformed.

The main villain here is Jack Palance, who you may know from Batman 89. His raspy voice is pure menace, but he's also funny too. Check him out in City Slickers, with Billy Crystal. For a culmination of a lot of actors you've seen lately in a weird little comedy - Cops And Robertsons (Jack Palance, Chevy Chase, Dianne Wiest, Miko Hughes, and Robert Davi)

The older Asian guy played "Lo Pan" in "Big Trouble in Little China". He's been in more movies than I can count, especially back in the 80's and 90's.

Those of us who had the privilege of growing up in the 80s...IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW! The reality was actually BETTER than the hype 👊

Kurt Russell still has that good hair. It’s grey now but still fabulous

J: "Why'd he wear the glasses"? Me: Cuz he looks DAAAMNN GOOOD in them! 😍😆

One of my favorite Buddy Cop Action Comedy Films! However this movie had a lot of production problems as the film's director, Andrei Konchalovsky was fired from the project after 3 months into filming, as he wanted to make the script rewritten several times to make it more darker and serious, which they agree to do. Konchalovsky was let go and Albert Magnoli, director of Prince's Purple Rain was hired while stunt coordinator Peter MacDonald was hired to direct the action scenes. A lot of footage was filmed but cut from the movie can be found in the trailer: Tango pulling out a shotgun on a carjacker while reading the paper, Cash getting into a fight with the Asian suspect saying, "I hate you karate guys." Tango reveals that he had a girlfriend whom was killed in a bank robbery, and Tango almost getting into a fight with The Jaw in the prison yard , realizing it's not worth it. Stuart Baird, the film editor, saved the movie by using whatever footage was available to get the movie in theaters on time.

Amazing reaction as usual! And as for Detroit, I live in Canada in a city called Windsor. It's right across the water from the D, and between going there for church when I was a teenager and having to deal with the foolishness some of the brothers bring with them when they come here to party... I DEFINITELY understand your feelings about Detroit 🤣

In case any Star Trek fans didn't notice Gul Dukat in this movie, yeah that's Marc Alaimo playing Lopez.

Yo!! Everybody called out the stars and headliners in this awesome movie, except for one: My boy in the leather jacket, Adolfo Quinones ("Hey Elvis! What size do you wear?"), aka Shabba-Doo aka Ozone from "Breakin" (May.1984) and "Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo" (Dec.1984)!! He was choreographing for Madonna during the time he made his brief appearance in Tango & Cash. Covid and a heart related illness took his life at the age 65 in 2020. I just wanted to show him some love here!!

In reference to the rat maze/table “I would ask a lot of questions, but that’s where I would sit at.” 😂😂 it was awesome to see your first time seeing this classic.

"Cash and Tango, Tango and Cash," the way Jack says it is how my brothers and I said it when two of us were messing up. Great cheesy flick. Classic example of going to the cinema and turning your brain off.

Absolutely loved my shoutout 💜 and the fact that J pronounced my nickname correctly was awesome. Most ppl don't from just reading it. Sent it to my nephew who gave me the nickname when he was 2 lol he's about to be 27 😳😳😳 Hopefully he'll watch the entire reaction AND watch Tango & Cash. Thank J for me, that def cheered me up after this crap of a week. Love you guys 💜💋💜

We need your reaction to “Long Kiss Goodnight” Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. It’s a mid 90’s film with an 80’s action movie vibe.

Lt. Gabriel Cash, John 'The Hangman' Ruth, R.J. MacReady, Lieutenant S.D. Bob ‘Snake’ Plissken, Reno Hightower, Jack Burton, Captain Ron, Michael Zane, Stuntman Mike

If you remember in Saving private Ryan the soldiers would say FUBAR and Upem always asked about what it meant, and they would tell him it's German

I love this film...except Ponytails crappy English accent, why do they always use the "Dick van Dyke" Cockney accent!😂

“He’s okay. He took it on the chin.” Had me dying. 🤣😂💀

Stallone saying Rambo's a pussy is my favorite line in the whole movie😂😂

Escape from New York and escape from L.A. are two must see movies with Kurt Russel, if you want that Oeiiiiiiii !

Kurt still got that luxurious hair PLUS a matching beard nowadays

I live 3 miles from the old Mansfield Reformatory, where they filmed the prison scene. I tour the prison every couple years. They also filmed The Shawshank Redemption there.

16:16 - Robert Z'Dar played 'Conan' in this movie but he's more well-known for playing Officer Matt Cordell in the Maniac Cop trilogy of horror movies. The British guy is Brion James and he was good at playing psychos around this time for this and 'The Horror Show' (House 3). RIP to both actors

Great reaction as always fam! 27:33 that's the point in the movie when you realize that this movie is an epic 😎 ride. Two phenomenal actors in Stallone and Russell but the supporting cast is full of 80's heavy hitters. Excellent choice for a review.

Kurt was a Disney kid. He made quite a few Disney movies as a kid, as a teen and beyond if I’m not mistaken. My favorite is still “Overboard”, with his wife, Goldie. I know you’d love it

Great Reaction Video...... 80 Movies were Awesome..... and Yes, "Titties were Important" to most plots in 80's movies............ The "Sound Guy" Skinner...... Is Del from "The Green Mile"......... In late 80's and Early 90's the "Red Dot" sights were Really that big........

I remember seeing this movie in the theater in LA opening matinee and the opening scene where Stallone turns to his fellow officers and shooting the fuel tank, quips, 'Rambo is a p*say.' The line had a few light chuckles. But then, a second later, some dude loud as f*ck yells out, 'Booooooooooo!!' That got the biggest laugh than the movie ever did. Obviously, to this day, when I see that scene and Stallone drops that line, thirty plus years later, that's all I can hear us that dude in the back of the house expressing his displeasure of Sly's meta joke at John Rambo's expense. My only regret is not running that dude down in the lobby to shake his hand. I love this film btw, but I'm with dude. Don't be dissing first class black ops seals officer John J. Rambo. He served this country and we owe him a debt. 🤙

"Guvna" Governor = boss or person in charge 👍

This movie was heavily slept on when it 1st came out. Stallone and Russell made a great cop duo. I don't know why they didn't do another one.

With regards to how they doctored the audio recordings...Back in the day we could do almost everything they can do today...we just did it analog. It wasn't as clean, but for the most part it got the job done. Released on December 22, 1989, _Tango & Cash_ was the very last action movie of the 80's. The main bad guy is Jack Palance, you probably recognize him from Tim Burton's _Batman_. His associate was James Hong who played Lo Pan in _Big Trouble In Little China_ Best Regards!

"Those titties were key to the plot" @JL See your emotions aside your humor is also brilliant. Loved Russell my entire 50 year movie life, Stallone is always underrated and the lead Lady has always been beautiful. Glad you liked this underrated but mindless gem

Jay, you're EOM name change scared the shit out of me! I couldn't find you in my subs list and thought you had either left the tube or got cancelled! WHEW! But like the new name!

If you like Kurt Russell you should check out the movie overboard. It’s a comedy classic

Great reaction. This is a great movie for a fun watch. Yes, some of the dialogue is cheesier than a Domino's pizza but there are some good one-liners and the chemistry between the is good. Btw, FUBAR is a term that's originally from the military and here's another for you - SNAFU. Stands for Situation Normal, All F#cked Up. Have fun with it.

30:38 comment question..like the USA has Governor of a state's England might have had high Rangers who governed or were called governoers,, to like be submissive or signify recognizing someone's authority or act humble in the presence of someone who wields power or authority,, it might be like USA cultural hey, Boss, sure thing Chief. The way old times say Lord-recognize that that person is in charge in this situation .-Ernie Moore Jr.

If you are a Kurt Russell fan, and who isn't, and want to see his most criminally under the radar career best work as an actor in a storied career of one long highlight reel of best work, I got a hidden buried treasure of his to recommend. From 2003, I submit to you the dark, gritty, insanely charismatic star turn from Kurt in a little unknown classic Dark Blue. The best one sentence elevator pitch I can give you to describe and sell the movie is: this is Russell's Training Day. I know what I'm saying by throwing that out there. Trading Day is my favorite cop drama thriller all day, every day. Nobody gonna outdo Denzel's Alonzo Harris sick as all f*ck performance whose head is enshrined atop the acting Mount Rushmore mountain all-timer, all star, all day, every day. That said, the plot of Dark Blue is a movie told in the same narrative structure as Training Day that the film takes place over the course of a single 24 day, but the interesting hook here is it's the day of Rodney King verdict in LA circa 1992 where we know as viewers what's coming by nightfall: the riots that will begin shortly after and the city of Angles will burn. This story is about a group of LA cops working a murder case on this particular infamous day and a new police chief coming into the most corrupt department in the city as much needed over site whose played by Ving Raimes. Kurt is a senior detective who is his most interesting character outside of Snake Plisken, but more three dimensional and all shades of blurred lines grey with no traces of silver linings. He's no hero, but possibly an anti-hero on a collision course with history and a potential redemption. The stand out scene of the film is near movies end with no spoilers here, but an acting showpiece, stand out scene at a police press conference going out LIVE where Kurt gives a balls to the wall, flat out Oscar caliber Shakespearean monologue that is one for the ages and time capsule. It's a performance we always knew he was capable of and finally got the part and material to show and strut his chops, and he does. Kurt has never been less than stellar in any role he's taken on and never been caught phoning it in. But, with Dark Blue, that was the moment in time and his career , our man Kurt leveled up and put on an acting clinic and like the free clinic, this comes at no charge online and available to the public. Love the show and looking forward to this episode's jump scare. YOU: Aghhhhh! (*pause, look at camera*) Shut up.

Now you gotta watch Tequila Sunrise (1988) with Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer!! Who will win the ultimate 80's hair battle!! Lol!!

So, one of the many things that cracks me up, is when you get startled and you say 'shut up". I gotta start keeping count especially when you watch scary movies. Another movie that I think you will enjoy is called "falling down" .. starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. That one is awesome!! It came out in the late 80's early 90's.

Hilarious reaction! I love this movie. Its like an 80's anime cop movie or series. And its all the better for it. Stallone and Russel are perfect together too. If you want more Kurt Russel, check out Escape From New York and Executive Decision. And you gotta see Stallone in Cobra, and Demolition Man! You must enjoy Demolition Man. Not only is it a fun sci-fi cartoon of a movie, but you'll notice it eerily predicts a bunch of things that are now part of current times. Have a wonderful day. Keep up the great reactions!

LMAO... I just KNEW you were gonna love FUBAR. 🤣 Oh, and I absolutely loved you rockin' out with the music!🎶

Do they still have BigFoots?? Yes. Yes they do. Born and raised in rural NC so I can attest to the fact that the BigFoot movement is still alive and kickin in my home state. REPRESENT!

We watched this on VHS over in Desert Storm soooo many times. It was in constant rotation in the guard shack, along with some Steven Segal movies, Terminator, Die Hard, and Roadhouse, which btw, you have to do Patrick Swayze's "Road House" from 1989. Damn classic 80's action movie. The bad guy from "The Big Lebowski" (Ben Gazzara) is also the town bad guy in "Road House". Kick ass fight scenes, and big ol' boobies that bring a lot to the plot. Basically Patrick Swayze is brought in to a small town Missouri dive bar to clean it up from local riff-raff. Hijinks ensue! You want a great 80's movie...watch "Road House"

Love Jack Palance, forgot he was in this. He was such a weirdo. Laser sights used to be that big. The one on Arnie's pistol in The Terminator for example.

You gotta promise me, please, if you're going to ever watch the "Blade Runner" films, do not skip the middle film like everybody does; like it doesn't exist. It goes "Blade Runner" , "Soldier" and then "Blade Runner 2049". "Soldier" has one of the best Kurt Russell performances of his whole career, and everybody forgets about it; it ain't been officially rejected yet, so it's still a "Blade Runner" movie.

You should check out Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell from 2018. Still a great head of hair and there's several "Shut the @$&# ups" in it lol.

Ahh FUBAR good times

Funny you should ask if it's a Bigfoot, it actually was one of the Bigfoot trucks #8 I think, and yes they're still around I see Bigfoot every year here in Colorado

Hope you are having an great and awesome weekend ❤️

J, ya' know what I just realized that I love about you? You aren't amused by dumb fart jokes. You get major points for that.

This was the last major studio release of the 80s (December 22nd, 1989). 80s went out with a bang 😆

You gotta watch Captain Ron with Kurt Russell and Martin Short. It's hilarious.

We're Fubar now...! "You know Captain Dynaball here?" Yesss...!, " I love you in Conan The Barbarian...! " 🤣 classic one-liners

Someone was enjoying Tango n Cash. Big time. Good times...--Ernie Moore Jr

I haven't read through all the comments yet but I bet you would enjoy a Stallone comedy called, Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot.

I just love your reactions. Don't forget. "Thanks for playing",

GOTTA WATCH CAPTAIN RON

There was a FUBAR explanation in Saving Private Ryan too.. I know you saw that (once).

Hey J, since you like Kurt Russell so much, there's a really cool sci-fi he's in called Soldier. Would love to see that one on the channel sir!

The guy who faked the audio tape was Eduard Delacroix in The Green Mile.

Another good one with Mr Russell is tequila sunrise also starring Mel gibbons great reaction much love

Fubar is a great line but my fave is: "Where did you learn how to drive!?" "Stevie Wonder." 🤣

lazer sights were big in the 80’s. literally. check out Stalone in Cobra!

My ex fiance is from Detroit one main reason we broke up I didn't want to move there, not a day goes by I don't regret it

Oh man you need to see Rambo!! The first Rambo is another 80's classic!

Two other great Kurt Russell movies are Backdraft and Overboard.

You wanna know why the Laser is so big? It’s the 80s man. Lasers that size were ‘small”

Fun fact the guy that made the tape of them to incriminate them is Dale from Green mile

you need to watch 'soldier' with Kurt rusell one of his most bad ass movies

It sucks I can only like this reaction only once....

Best shower scene since Psycho. Cracks me up every time.

I got the DVD to this movie . Need to react to Escape from Los Angeles with Kurt Russell

Hope u will get time to watch..... Sardar udham.... This weekend.... 👍👍👍

Can't wait 1 of my fav movie when i was a kid 2 great actors great cast all together

The 80s rocked out with it's c*ck out, lmao. Yeah, 80s movies were definitely the best. They had zero filter, lol. Someone probably already said it in the comments, but this was the last action film of the 80s. It came out late December of 1989 if memory serves me correctly.

You never fail to crack me up, man! And you got it right; 80s movies are about having fun not pretentious logic cinemagraphic Scorcesie stuff.

First thing I ever saw Terri Hatcher in!! Wow!

39:00 Comments, 80's assessment.-Ernie Moore Jr.

Love Kurt Russell 💖. Have you watched "Tombstone" yet? If you haven't it's definitely a must see. Anything Kurt is in is a great watch. I heard him and his son are in talks for another "Escape from New York"

He lived in Detroit during the OCP issues with some cyber cop, I'm sure that's why he has some hate. lol

Sound guy owned Mr. jingles in the green mile

Btw, I've got to say, since you said you've never seen Rambo... if nothing else, you've GOTTA watch "First Blood." All of them are cool on one level or another, but the 1st is phenomenal!

Tango & Cash is one of my favorite movies ever.

Really got to do Overboard for more Russell.

1986 Cobra with Stallone

Thats cabbage patchphobic dude.

4:33 - Jack Palance was in Batman (1989) and City Slickers. James Hong was the main bad guy in Big Trouble In Little China

I would go back to the 80's in a heartbeat.

This was filmed where Shawshank redemption was filmed Mansfield Ohio! Look it up

Red dots were massive back in the day.

#movie "Road House"-Ernie Moore Jr.

I'm all for 80s movie Friday!

The glasses went with his wardrobe.
