Picking Nits

Ray kissing Anna; Julio’s repeated release; rail-track driving; reckless gunfire; remaining cops; friendly fire; close-range finale

Approx. transcript time · 01:20:16Read transcript
  • Ray kisses Anna fully enough to suggest unexplained sexual tension among the three leads.
  • Gonzalez is described as running amok with “just no laws” even though the police keep catching him.
  • Cars staying aligned on train tracks during a chase feels mechanically implausible.
  • Police firing aimlessly at escaping vehicles is questioned.
  • After both detectives are shot and Anna jumps between elevators, choosing to remain cops contradicts the Key West plan.
  • Danny is shot in the chest by another officer without meaningful accountability.
  • The finale has people firing past one another at implausibly close range.

  • The absent sequel leaves it unknown whether the pair ever moved to Key West.
  • A reported 10.19 percent 1986 mortgage rate makes the unused bar lease financially dangerous.
  • Anna’s renewed interest appears tied to Danny leaving Chicago, so his reversal may send her back to the dentist.

Producer review

Liked the chemistry; a relaxed watch below the best buddy-cop films

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:28:57Read transcript
  • The first-time viewer praises the Crystal–Hines chemistry but places the film below Lethal Weapon, Midnight Run and Beverly Hills Cop. — Craig Horlbeck
  • The easy cable-watch quality is described as both flatter than its peers and central to its appeal.
  • Hines is praised as an underused movie talent whose broader cultural stature came through dance.
