  • The quarry climax is reported filmed in Irwindale with at least eleven cameras and single-attempt dangerous stunts.
  • A dangerous Bronx heroin batch reportedly used the movie’s name, prompting police warnings.

Apex Mountain

  • Stallone is rejected; Russell’s influence is placed later, around Tombstone and the Escape from LA sequel.
  • No major actor seems at an apex: Face is countered with Maniac Cop and the henchman actor with 48 Hours. The film ranks highly as unintentional-comedy buddy-cop entertainment.
  • The fictional Los Angeles Chronicle is endorsed for its many front pages.
  • Lockup wins among Stallone prison films, with its muddy football game praised.
  • The grunts, hanging, fighting and football power-I play are praised, with Stallone a believable athlete.
  • Lethal Weapon rip-offs are endorsed; actor/character crossover moments are proposed with the overall apex unresolved.
  • Last Action Hero’s Stallone-as-Terminator poster is a comparison, but the Rambo joke remains a strong candidate.

Picking Nits

Tango & Cash The Rewatchables

The plea, prison transfer, survival, absent surveillance and quarry office make little sense.

  • A no-contest murder plea and eighteen-month sentence threaten police careers; no one notices or investigates the maximum-security transfer.
  • The cops should die quickly in prison, yet the escaped men’s only close relative is not watched; Hatcher’s non-stripping performance is also questioned.
  • The quarry office’s remote commute is mocked; Taken and Reacher illustrate quarries as useful action locations.

  • The film initially seems impossible to remake or convert to prestige TV; Stallone’s sequel is the preferred alternative.
  • Michael Mann is imagined making eight Heat-style episodes, with Tokyo Vice as precedent.
  • Heat 2 is praised as a novel beginning after the film; delayed viewing of Heat and affection for the film transcribed Dana Thieves are recalled.

The Andy and Red – Zihuatanejo Award for What Happens the Next Day?

Tango & Cash The Rewatchables

Returning to police work is unresolved because exonerating evidence is weak.

Approx. transcript time · 01:17:33Read transcript
  • The hosts ask whether the charges are dropped and the men simply return to the office.
  • The audio forger was contacted, but the escape and many killings leave few witnesses or clear proof of innocence; a sequel could address this.
