Robert Downey Jr.’s career resurgence can be directly tied to Iron Man, and Iron Man is the film launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The success of that film is probably why Warner Bros. relaunched its Sherlock Holmesfranchise, with Downey as the star. Just a year after Downey blasted off as the iconic super hero, he joined Jude Law in Guy Rich...
Tango & Cash took the usual buddy cop scenario and turned it on its head. Instead of the unlikely partners working a case, these two cops are forced to work together to clear their names. After being framed, Lt. Raymond Tango (Sylvester Stallone) and Lt. Gabriel Cash (Kurt Russell) must escape jail and then survive on the run, without getting kille...
Did we really need a big-screen adaptation of21 Jump Street? No. Are we glad we got one (and a sequel)? Absolutely! The unlikely combo of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as a pair of cops who go back to high school (and then college) to solve a case proved to be a winning pair. While they may not have known each other prior to the films, you can tell...
One year after he broke through with Independence Day, Will Smith returned to box office supremacy with Men In Black. Yet of course he wasn’t alone; Tommy Lee Jones was right there beside him. The pair quickly reached the top of the box office and starred in two sequels. Smith and Jones worked well together because of their natural styles. Smith, t...
As we mentioned Robert Downey Jr. has always been a gifted actor, but many look back at his pre-Iron Man films in a different light. These were the ones he did mostly while battling his drug addictions, which didn’t so much impact his performance but did loom large in the background. Around the time of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang he had really turned the c...
British humor either goes over huge or like a lead balloon with American audiences; there is no in between. Hot Fuzz, however, found a home with that select niche of American moviegoers who understand and appreciate humor from across the pond. Simon Pegg stars as a hot-shot London cop reluctantly transferred to a small town where there is little cr...
You have to give credit here to Will Ferrell and longtime collaborator Adam McKay, as The Other Guys was quite clever. Two cops who were about as far from the “A-list” as they come get a chance in the spotlight after a unfortunate accident befalls the city’s top detectives. With Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg on board as those “other guys,” the stage wa...
While most of the great buddy cop films are teams of guys, we can’t do this list and not salute the amazing team of Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. The duo’s summer hit The Heat was a big crowd-pleaser, and the likability of the two actresses is a large part of that success. Yes, it was a traditional formula, but the pair, along with Paul Feig...
It may have been well over a decade since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence last teamed up for a Bad Boys film, but that doesn’t matter to the fans. Rumors of a third film in the franchise had seemed to crop up every year and it’s clear why. Bad Boys was very much the Lethal Weaponfor a new generation. It had action, humor and two recognizable leads w...
Some may argue 48 Hrs.is the original buddy cop film, but given Eddie Murphy’s character isn’t actually a cop it is hard to win that argument. However we’d also argue buddy cop films don’t always need to involve two cops. The idea of these films is always taking one experienced by-the-book cop and pairing them with a off-the-rails partner of some s...
