The most "year the movie came out" thing

Miller Genuine Draft; Uzi; Murphy’s career stage; convertibles; stripper-cage elevator

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:00:51Read transcript
  • Most1990 choices: brewskis/Miller Genuine Draft, an Uzi and Murphy’s career stage; claims he looks heavier are countered by criticism of the suit.
  • Convertibles and the stripper-cage elevator are period details; personal sun-exposure stories are a digression.

What’s Aged the Best?

Precinct insults; rural–city tension; Internal Affairs; bikers; dead villain’s brother; crime dialogue

Approx. transcript time · 01:04:18Read transcript
  • Aged best: insulting precinct banter; the missing McRae captain leads to a hypothetical Ringer captain riff.
  • Aged best: rural-versus-city insults, apparently villainous Internal Affairs, biker gangs, revenge by a dead villain’s brother and familiar crime-movie dialogue.

The Great Shot Gordo Award for Most Cinematic Shot

Cadillac cresting the hill; low-angle prison release; slow-motion finale

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:07:24Read transcript
  • The car cresting a San Francisco hill, with spotlights below, is a favorite shot.
  • The low angle at the prison release makes the conversation appear to remain inside prison.
  • The slow-motion final shooting captures Kehoe realizing Jack’s plan.

The Butch’s Girlfriend Award for the Weakest Link in the Film

Incoherent plot; Jack’s judgment; Casey–Campbell subplot; rejected money

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:12:42Read transcript
  • The incoherent plot and Jack’s failure to suspect another cop are the principal weak links.
  • The villains could simply kill Jack rather than eliminate everyone around him.
  • The Casey–Campbell subplot feels attached at the end; the objection concerns arbitrary endangerment, not Campbell’s talent.
  • Campbell’s consistent presence in major Black film and television work is strongly defended.
  • Cherry makes the connection too easily, and Angel rejecting the money is considered implausible.

What’s Aged the Worst?

Reunion basketball scene; long sequel gap; repeated Roxanne

In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 01:15:23Read transcript
  • The prison basketball reunion should have been a great scene but disappoints.
  • The long sequel gap and repeated Roxanne performance are criticized.
  • Making the film accessible without the original is offered as an explanation, but the repetition is still judged lazy.

  • The top five begins with Running Scared fifth and Reggie/Jack fourth; the latter placement is disputed.
  • Vincent/Jules rank third and Sidney/Billy second, with the action-comedy boundaries explicitly stretched.
  • Riggs/Murtaugh rank first; 48 Hours is defended as the influential prototype, and the ranking remains disputed.
  • Honorable mentions are Django, Men in Black, The Last Boy Scout and Money Talks; Men in Black could replace Running Scared.
  • Wilder/Pryor are qualified, while Crockett/Tubbs raises the distinction between movie and television duos.
