Tango & Cash - The Cinema Snob

[@pdshiff]

"Patrick Swayze dropped out of Tango & Cash to shoot Roadhouse" might be the most 80s thing ever said.

[@brianrochette3934]

@Michael Martin and DayGlo shirts and hair mousse.

[@zackschilling4376]

@Michael Martin and Pia Zadora stars as the love interest, and she 's on the soundtrack as well.

[@filmfanaticx4212]

I have a personal reason to love Roadhouse. I was named after Swayze's character...

[@davesmith4839]

Roadhouse!

[@filmfanaticx4212]

@Gary Hall Heh. I wish...

[@vampylass3848]

Tango and Cash is one of the best last movies of the 80s, and I truly believe that no matter what, the cinema snob will always be better than the nostalgia critic.

[@davidthorson2036]

As a kid of that time period this movie checked all the boxes. Big action stars, great villians, explosions and guns galore, quips and one-liners, and that truck they drive at the end was/is one of the coolest movie vehicles ever. Oh, and that scene where they interrogate Brion James on the rooftop is still pretty funny.

[@eddiedingle767]

And released clearly unfinished

[@grapeshot]

Actually this is one of my favorite buddy cop movies this one and Hot Fuzz.

[@bwillythekid8249]

Me too. And Dark Angel / I come in peace.

[@cottontail1039]

Same here. Also "Beverly Hills Cops".

[@DemiBirdDoes]

Hot Fuzz is the most beautiful satirical film.

[@Lee_Lee1776]

Last Boy Scout

[@bobcobb3654]

All that movie was missing was an angry black commissioner and a scene where Nick Nolte wakes up hungover, and it’d be the 80s action movie prototype.

[@andrewblanchard2398]

he would've had to be played by FRANK McRAE .R.I.P. 🌹 he was in 48hrs & LAST ACTION HERO as a black police captain & he was in LICENSE TO KILL & BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

[@twentywordsorlessYT]

Watched this a few weeks ago (the boyfriend took advantage of my thing for '80s Kurt Russell and his liking of showing me new films), and I'm STILL convinced that this is the story of a married cop couple who are living apart/whose relationship has lost its spark, and it takes being framed for murder to get that spark back. I accept no other synopsis.

[@Avenger85438]

That would be a hilarious spin on the genre. Like the LEGO Batman Movie with the subtext made text.

[@TheSperz23]

I know I’m almost 5 years too late on this, but this is the BEST Cinema Snob episode ever! All the jokes hit and I’m laughing so hard, I’m crying. Thank you for this episode on my favorite action movie of all time.

[@BatCritic21]

3:54 Somewhere, Brad Jones is chasing that truck to steal all of the Crystal Pepsi

[@gyromurphy]

LA beast is right behind Snob

[@firebladetenn6633]

I saw this movie years ago, and loved it. Kurt Russel and Sylvester Stallone are always a win in my book.

[@SoulEaterSaku90]

Oh my God! Stallone does look like Egon Spengler.

[@Launchpad05]

'Yo, I got a radical idea. We'll cross the streams.'

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

@Cyber Elder egos started injecting the mold and spores

[@SelfPityEntertainment]

I think you've referenced Batman '89 enough that you are now required by law to review it, Snob.

[@1997residente]

A childhood favorite: Stallone pretending to be George Clooney before he was in hollywood, homoerotism, a Hot chick,explosions,a monster truck,Jack Palance chewing the scenery.

[@FelisTerras]

Welcome to my childhood^^

[@jsb8261]

I can't believe there's finally a Cinema Snob video of a movie I've actually seen.

[@ttthecat]

Clicked IMMEDIATELY when I saw Tango Cash reviewed by The Snob! Hey where's Lloyd!? I distinctly remember requesting more Lloyd!!

[@Rogun987]

Are you kidding, this was one of my FAVORITE movies as a kid.

[@jp3813]

Disappointed that you didn't point out that the scene where Stallone stops a truck is pretty much a shot-for-shot recreation of a similar scene from Jackie Chan's Police Story (1985). Then again, I didn't know that Harold Faltermeyer's actual first name is Hans until after watching this video.

[@archer1949]

You guys should do The Last Boy Scout. Even though it was released in 1991, I consider it the last great 80’s action movie.

[@gyromurphy]

The opening football bit is still one of my all time favorite movie scenes

[@davidjames579]

It was written in the 80's. And was called Die Hard, until Joel Silver asked Shane Black if he could have the title for his film, Nothing Lasts Forever.

[@LokDesaad6]

I can't believe you're reviewing this. It's like you took a look in my head.

[@misaeltoral508]

This movie is a classic. How can you not love a nerd Stallone that makes fun of Rambo?

[@Jimithing3403]

One of the most underrated 80’s movies

[@sketcharmstrong8491]

Nice wrap-up of the 80s in one movie...yep I remember my dad renting this one on vhs back when. R.I.P. the 80s.

[@gunkatas01]

I love this movie. The arcade game it inspired, Lucky & Wild, is one of my favorites.

[@SoftAsABaboonAss]

Lucky & Wild was AMAZING. It was my favorite arcade machine.

[@justinwilliam4644]

i loved this movie as a kid, so much that i wrote the entire screen play out on paper word for word

[@handsomebrick]

It's like Last Action Hero except without irony.

[@freddyvidz]

Don't you dare speak ill of Last Action Hero. 😅😂🤣

[@bombabombom3603]

So in this universe, it's Stallone instead of Schwarzenegger... considering that T2 joke in the movie, it makes perfect sense.

[@jasoncase9481]

No it really isn't because it's not a satire of action movies. Also this movie doesn't have a main kid character, and is a great ridiculous action movie with 2 Badass Protagonists.

[@sketcharmstrong8491]

"That was you. YOU were in that movie!!!"

[@jbjacobs9514]

Did you really just make a Martika reference????????? That is why you're the best of the best Snob!

[@jessicaw9011]

And this is why I watch Cinema Snob. I learn something every time.

[@tennyak]

I can’t help it, you’re my favorite KZbind! Also it helps how special I feel when I get almost all of your obscure references.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I think he's alright, but if you have a soft spot for almost exclusively 80s and 90s movie nostalgia you want Minty comedic arts. Hes a bit more entertaining if you ask me and has better editing. Not accounting for personal taste of course.

[@canderia]

I can't even count the amount of times I've seen this movie. I love it

[@demelzafilbey7550]

I've always loved Tango and Cash. Thank you for reviewing it.

[@johnstriker480]

22:15 Best movie HIGHFIVE EVER!!!

[@Luke.S2099]

Its funny that Sly, and Kurt Russell are both in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2. So was Michael Rooker who was also in Cliffhanger with Sly. Anyway this movie is ridiculous, and I love it. Its one of those cheesy nostalgic action movies I watched growing up in the 90's. Have't seen it in a long time though :)

[@duckforceone]

i used to watch tango & cash quite often back then.. my young self loved it, and i have nothing but fond memories of it... :D

[@macuna1995]

I still have this on video, totally awesome.

[@shirophoenix01]

The realization of the amount of Clint Howard in the Snob's reviews killed me 😂

[@johnstriker480]

22:15 BEST HIGHFIVE EVER!!

[@AFMountaineer2000]

I loved this movie when I first saw it way back on VHS and I still love it on DVD

[@dr.rumack7668]

MC'Crazyeyed Henchman. And it's Harold Faltermeyer (8:30)!

[@MabuseXX]

No, that only his alias. His real name is Hans Hugo Harold Faltermeier. And yes, he is a born German.

[@kabatsky]

5:54 Savely Kramarov. RIP, man. Sad that you didn't get any big roles in Hollywood (

[@johnstriker480]

22:16 BEST HIGHFIVE EVER, I will admit

[@shakurburton9358]

A God Tier 80s film that does take said decade out with a literal bang. Understood perfectly, Brad.

[@danwest9900]

James Hong is in this movie! He's been in SO many movies - love that guy!

[@chuckls]

I do love this movie:) One of my many guilty pleasures.

[@sampahumeoli]

and the soundtrack of the movie fantastic

[@kemmdog4444]

I love how Kurt Russell jumps the gun reacting to him being electric shocked.

[@BatmansKitten415]

FUBAR.... This has always been one of my favorite movies. Can’t tell you how much you made my Monday better by reviewing this. Thank you, Cinema Snob, for bringing humor to those who need a giggle. ❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼

[@jokerz7936]

Okay Stallone get Kurt Russell and make Tango and Cash 2.

[@bunkerzero]

2 tango 2 cash

[@christophermaxton7317]

This needs to happen!

[@starsiegeplayer]

It takes 2 to Tango.

[@peterkrug2327]

At this late date they'd more likely do a remake. (But then again they're coming out with a direct sequel to TOP GUN, so who knows?)

[@sasavulic1236]

to late brother to late even for holywerd.to bad i love this movie,mindlles owsome fun.

[@christophermaxton7317]

One of my all time favorite guilty pleasure movies!

[@cinemadrone1]

One of my favorites..I love the truck

[@tonyl6520]

the lawyer is a publisher not an attorney. great seinfeld reference .. Great review !!

[@jwnj9716]

10:21 .....did he just say Mr Pervert? "INDEEEED" - David Lo Pan.

[@michaelacton2764]

PENISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[@m.j.vazquez4720]

i love this movie

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

I love this movie.

[@studinthemaking]

Love the octopussy poster behind. It’s a great bond movie.

[@johnstriker480]

22:15 Most badass handshake!!

[@turbopumped6490]

Really liked this back in the day - good stupid fun.

[@Артём-х8ф]

Always love Snob reviewing action movies! If only he got to make a video on the ‘Universal Soldier’ Canadian TV movies...

[@shellac23]

Thumbs up for showing Clint Howard. It’s a good omen for this week

[@wyldshot666]

Stallone impression is SPOT ON !!!

[@erikwilliams1562]

YES!!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

[@WTFisTingispingis]

As someone who never saw this movie, I never expected _this._

[@TimTringleJr]

Wow, I liked this review so much it has me actually thinking of rewatching this movie. Which I saw in theaters in 89. That is quite the accomplishment!

[@TankCop]

YES one of my FAV movies of the 80's and a very under rated classic. It deserves a place right next to Terminator and Rocky.

[@D.G.M.]

One of the things I love about movies from that period is that the action scenes are not toned blue.

[@borutoburrito6547]

17:16 Yes, I too, watched The Birdcage.

[@andrewphillips8341]

Love this film!

This was one of the last major studio movie released in the '80s--there was also Steven Speilberg's "Always" and Costa-Gavras' "Music Box".

[@Jaytheradical]

Literally until this very moment I thought Turner and Hootch and Tango and Cash were the same movie.

[@jasoncase9481]

Tango and Cash is a terrific ridiculous action movie with a over the top great main Villain, 2 Badass protagonists, and is the embodiment of 80s action movies using most of the cliches including explosions, action scenes with cars, etc.

[@sta3po]

Got to see it in the theatre when it came out. I think there were about six other people in there with me.

[@Alfador42]

Tango & Cash popped my cherry. Seriously.

[@FelisTerras]

Ok, I soo have to go down in my cellar and search for my VHS copy of the movie. I'd almost forgotten how fun this flic is. Everything that's cool, weird, over the top, dirty, illogical, gruesome and hilariously tongue-in-cheek from the Eighties is right in here.

[@harrisonmckinney7659]

I love this movie!

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

22:15 best highfive ever!

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

I actually bought this movie because of this review and I must say, money well spent.

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

Holy crap I loved Tango & Cash! Still love it!

[@CrazyFoo501]

This movie looks amazing

[@PaladinDusty]

Best review of 2019. Calling it now.

[@ghostofkrows]

This movie is awesome.

[@Scatscar1985]

When I went to see this , I fantasized about a version with Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson as the title duo.

[@umachan9286]

This was always a fun movie whether you saw it in 1989 or just recently. It's not a classic or all that well made but it's entertaining and that's really what matters in the end.

[@peterkrug2327]

Snob, I have one criticism with your criticism of this movie. They made it clear in the film why the villain Perret goes through the trouble of framing Tango and Cash instead of simply killing them: Tango and Cash were renowned heroes of the city, and killing them would turn them into martyrs. He had to destroy their reputations first.

[@edwardtjbrown1979]

.snob cinema the question Don't

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

Just realized I can never win the challenge of watching 'The Snob' next to my sleeping g/f w/out waking her up. 😂

[@Nightmare.Narratives.nm1]

Part of the beginning scene paid homage to Jackie Chan's Police Force

[@ScreamQueen9]

I love this movie 😁

[@johntaylor1981]

Happy 30th anniversary to Tango and Cash! Please do more Stallone films.

[@hostofwords]

I gave my thumbs up for Angel's Revenge reference

[@johnoneil9188]

Aside from the Lethal Weapon movies this is one of my favorite buddy cop movies, maybe slightly below Crime Busters.

[@gyromurphy]

This used to be on the USA channel like 5 times a year. Those were good times.

[@thedeepcutpodcast]

Bravo sir!

[@PokemonHaloFan]

I can't think of a better way to end the 80's.

[@360whiplash]

That movie was pretty good, I'm surprised that there wasn't any sequels.

[@360whiplash]

@bigevilworldwide1 I thought it was a good popcorn, action flick.

[@Nergalsama01]

4:52 The villain of the movie...you mean Gul Dukat inside the limo?

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Has Mark Alamo ever played anything but a villan? He was great as Gul Dukat though, who is, was and always will be the best villain in trek history.

[@rodnis]

It has Kurt Russel its automatically awesome

[@MikeMixtapeMM]

This is like the best tie-in review and matches so well. Both Tango & Cash as well as Hobbs and Shaw have electricity scenes. :3

[@MisterTutor2010]

It was simpler time when one-liners and ultra-violence were the answer to everything :)

[@michaelacton2764]

"You could've just said all that but...I'm glad you didn't" I legit spit my Hurricane out on that one Snob! Funniest shit I've read in months!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kate4508]

Ahh Nighthawks THIS is why I love you guys!

[@MidnightMovieMavenn]

this is the first buddy cop movie I ever saw. had a vhs recording of it airing on viewers choice in 1990 I think

[@TheSuperCasual2914]

11:41 If only you could review the Andy Griffith Show, Snob! That's where he's the best!

[@ser6Ijvolk]

Man, every time I see Savely Kramarov in an American movie I become sad. The man is a genius actor, but the only work he got in Hollywood movies after emigrating was comedic bit roles or side characters. And the saddest part is that he died just as he had a lead role lined up.
