Reader comments: Tango & Cash
DONNA | Jun. 30, 2003
despite the bad reviews i thought this was a good movie, i
will watch it again and again. I thought Sly and Kurt were
a great team. I just look at it for entertainment not for
realism
AUDRA | Dec. 1, 2001
I've come to realize this movie wasn't exactly the world's
most popular. I've read a couple of reviews, and all say
the same thing it seems, 'sylvester's worse'....i love this
movie though, despite the fact it can be kind of draggy at
times, sylvester makes this movie good, and he's good in
it, funny too.

TANGO & CASH IS ONE OF BEST MOVIES I"VE SEEN-SLY'S SECOND
BEST!!!
This movie is a great success. Anyone who says this movie
sucks must have bad taste in movies. Sly Stallone is cool
as Detective-Lieutenant Ray Tango, the banker-dressing Wall
Street narc. Kurt Russell is jusy as good as his arch-rival
turned partner, Detective-Lieutenant Gabriel Cash. This is
different from other Stallone movies because there is much
more comedy to it, while most of his other movies like
Rocky and Demolition Man are much more serious. If i had to
say what my favorite part of this movie was, it would most
likely be the part where Tango and Cash are introduced to
the untouchable truck. I just wish they would have given
Teri Hatcher's role more stature. If she can play Lois Lane
alongside Dean Cain in The New Adventures Of Superman and
make the show worth watching on account of her sex appeal,
the producers of Tango & Cash should have made her role
more important. Hatcher, who plays Tango's sister and
Cash's love intrest, an exotic dancer named Kiki(Her real
name is Catherine), is made out by the producers to be the
worst member of the cast. She is seen even more rarely than
Boss Purret(Jack Palance), Speaking of Palance, i wish they
would have left out a comment he as Purret made near the
end of the movie. The particular comment is: "When the one
great scorer marks against your mame, he'll mark that you
won or lost, but how you played the game, what bullshit."
The bullshit part should have been left out. The reason i
say this is because Mr. Palance, an avid baseball and old
Brooklyn Dodger fan, made a similar comment as a guest
narator in a baseball documentary about his love for the
game and the Dodgers. But his Tango and Cash comment too
much contradicts his actual personality. Other than that,
this movie is more than worth renting or buying, especially
if you're an avid Stallone or Kurt Russell fan. I gave this
movie 4 stars because it was the maximum, but if i could
give it more stars, i would be forced to still give it only
4 because Demolition Man beats this movie just barely. But
as i said, it's still more than worth watching.

I would give it 5 stars but there was no provision for
this. This film would have to be one of the greatest of all
time. The chemistry between Ray Tango and Gabe Cash was
absolutely brilliant. It was a classic tale of Bad Cop,
Worse Cop!!! It has paved the way for many great movies
since. Even though they may not say it, All good directors
have used aspects of this film to create some of their best
releases since. I would love to see a second one, But don't
know if such a chemistry between all these fine actors
would be the same, Especially missing the antics of the
late great Englishman Brion James.
Forget the critics reviews, you should see what Tango &
Cash is really about. It's themes revolve around issues
such as revenge, greed, honour , friendship and love. It's
characters intermix to create a web of stories that explode
onto the screen that give this movie its vital flavour.
Stallone and Russell light up the screen and work of each
other expertly to keep the viewer intrigued for the whole
movie. Forget City Slickers, this was Palance's finest
movie as he gives his character real power and depth as an
underworld crime boss. The starlet, Teri Hatcher, added
real zing and was fine as Tango's vagabond sister.
Tango & Cash is a vital cog for the action movie genre.
This film delves where no movie has gone before and has set
the scene for other such classics as 'Another 48
hrs' , 'Lethal Weapon 2,3,4" and 'Bad Boys'
Truly, a cinematic masterpiece.

I would appreciate it if you could please send me the name
of the music theme from this movie. Thank you very much.

Actually, I'd say that Lock Up was worse than this awful
tripe. Whatever, this derivative dud is quite a mess. And a
special note: the same producers who produced the Batman
films, Jon Peters and Peter Guber, were the producers of
this cloddish action thud.

CHAPPA | Aug. 11, 2000
I think tango and cash was a great movie, definately not
Stallones worst. Stallone is a great actor and he has made
a heap of great movies, you cant say that tabgo and cash
was his worst movie because all of his movies are great and
you cant compare them. Anyway thats what i think and i
recon that there is heaps of other people out there that
would agree with me.

The box the movie comes in states "bubby cop movie". It is
just that. I really enjoyed the movie and found it
entertaining, I thought the action was good and people
weren't just being "sliced and diced" as in alot of other
movies. While being a good action flick, it
was "lighthearted" in the sense there wasn't an overload of
profanity and blood...funny movie also...watch it quite
often..
TODD | Jun. 22, 2000
"Tango and Cash," the best film of all time, was snubbed at
the Academy Awards. This tragic selfish act by the voters
and the academy ranks second to none as being the most
tragic event in human history. Leave it to cynical baby
boomer film critics to write negative reviews about this
great work! I mean, you just can't trust these critics to
write a decent review. Just like they ripped "Weird
Science," they slaughtered "Tango and Cash." I love this
movie, and it's not too late to start a petition for a
sequel. All of the original actors are still alive!
Someone please take leadership like Ray Tango did and get
the wheels turning for another "Tango & Cash." I think
it's safe to say that the "Tango & Cash" phenomenon paved
the way for the economic prosperity we now enjoy.

THE BEST FILM EVER I'VE SEEN IT 7 TIMES I NEVER GET BORED..
"THERE'S A LOT OF NRW POLUTION IN THE AIR AND THEY CALL IT
PERRET"
DANNY | Apr. 11, 2000
This film is excellent, the action scenes are some of the
best from it's time. Some of the one liners are just sheer
brilliance and very humourous to say the least. Leave this
film alone
BRIAN DICKSON | Nov. 22, 1999
I thought the movie was pretty damn good. To say these
stunts were over the top and then mention Lethal Weapon
makes no sense. Action movies are supposed to be over the
top. Kurt Russel and Stallone trade some pretty clever
lines and there were some good jokes in there as well. Quit
ragging on this movie as you obviously don't have a clue.
TOMMYV | Jun. 4, 1999
man, this movies sucks! aside it being one of usa's favorite
sunday afternoon pud toughguy flicks, it really blows! i
guess my favorite part would hafta be when they're in prison
and they are taken to the boiler room and cash says who
invited these guys and stallone replied "well, i don't think
its a surprise party." god i love that part!
SHAUN T. | Apr. 8, 1999
