- 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.
