48 Hrs is a great movie, with a cool and unusual vibe. It was made early enough in the 80s, that it still had a realistic 70s aesthetic to it. It balances violence, thrills, and humor with a tone that other movies struggle to find. Even Walter Hill couldn't replicate it with Another 48Hrs. It's a real gem.

David Patrick Kelly was great in _Dreamscape._ And he really stood out, which is not easy in a movie starring Dennis Quaid and that also has both both Max Von Sydow _and_ Christopher Plummer getting in each others' face. I love how they gave Kelly that neat little walk-on part as the cheerful, world-weary "cleaner" that tidied up Keanu's house in the first _John Wick_ - a nice little shout-out to an underrated badass.

A lot of those movies in the 80s started out with characters that were racist who then gradually realized we were all the same. Which was a reflection of the time. You had the older generation that was stuck in that shit and you had the other people coming up were just getting along and everything was cool, and it really was this transitional. Period. Unfortunately. I feel we’ve taken 50 steps backwards in the last 15 to 20 years.

Unlike many action comedies, 48 hrs Is really half an actual.action cop movie and half a comedy movie.its pretty balanced unlike most action comedies that are pure fusion and mix both elements into one narrative stew. The film ended up being successful largely.because of the rising stardom of Eddie Murphy in SNL.

I can remember any time a new one was coming out....which was ALWAYS ....it was already a hit. Youd get 4-5 a year, & they were always good ....even when they werent.lol Never met an 80's buddy cop movie i didnt thoroughly enjoy.

Another 48 Hrs was okay but nowhere near as good as the original... Let's be honest 48 Hrs was and still is a gem, it's violent, funny and everything you could want from a movie. I think 48 Hrs is one of the best films of all time especially in it's genre and of it's time and it's the perfect movie in my opinion. When Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte fight in the streets that scene made me laugh especially Nolte's humour when being stopped by cops he says he's too tired to put his hands above his head the only downside is the sequel "Another 48 Hrs" was not as good as the original and Nick Nolte played cop Jack Cates perfectly in 48 Hrs.... Rating out of 10, well 48 Hrs gets a solid 9 from me it's a fantastic movie with no weaknesses in my opinion.

The truth is that the casual racism in 48 hours tickles Bills funny bone and he's trying to cover it up with white guilt.

Totally agree. Nick Nolte's character was both a jerk (with no redeeming qualities), and also written and acted in a lazy, stereotypical way. I guess there was supposed to be some kind of macho charm to his grizzled-old-white-cop stuff; like, even though he treated Murphy's character like utter shit throughout the film, when it was all said and done, we were going to begrudgingly see that he was really a good guy underneath it all. But I never thought that. For that reason, even when they were working relatively well together, I never got the 'buddy movie' vibe of a couple of opposites developing a bond and respect for one another, despite their differences. I just don't think Nolte was/is a very good actor, despite the fact that he's received a fair amount of acclaim and been given many pretty good roles.
