50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst
18) TANGO & CASH (1989)
This buddy cop feature began filming without a finished script. It had firings left and right. The movie had switched directors and had re-shoots happen right up to weeks before the movie was actually released, with strained filming still going ahead in October 1989. It went 20 million over budget and was a comparative box office failure, drawing only 60+ million from a 40 million budget.
Still, despite this busload of problems, you really wouldn’t know it from the final product. Well, not really. It’s a solid movie even if it paled in comparison to the solid-gold Lethal Weapon series. It also came back swinging in VHS sales. Oh God, the good old days of VHS!
So then, December 22nd 1989. A good day on the calender of manly movie lore. Patrick Swayze was originally pegged for Russell’s role, I wonder who would’ve done it better…
