  • The category cycles through the recurring actor pool without a clear initial answer.
  • Ramon Raymond is proposed for one of Julio’s lieutenants or Bauer’s partner.
  • Sam Jackson could replace Joey Pants as Snake or fit elsewhere in the movie.
  • Danny Treo is the favored addition as Jimmy Smits's lead henchman.
  • Longlegs as Julio is a comic alternate version rather than the final answer.

  • Crystal is rejected because City Slickers and his Oscars period are later.
  • Hines receives a plausible apex here because “now he’s a real movie guy” and the role leads toward Tap.
  • Key West is debated between this movie, Hemingway, and a Real World season.
  • Jack Walsh is selected among Chicago movie cops because he had to leave the force after refusing a Serrano buyout.
  • Jimmy Smits is rejected here and tentatively placed nearer NYPD Blue.
  • Dan Hadea is placed around Blood Simple and his Cheers role.
  • Michael McDonald music videos receive an apex while Yacht Rock is said to end here.
  • Chicago movie bars are tested for Apex, especially the bar in About Last Night and the bar in Thief that the transcript says Conn blows up.
  • Joey Pants is rejected for Apex.

  • Jimmy Smits as the villain and Sweet Freedom shoehorned into the movie open the 1986 list.
  • Walter Payton gear, the 1985 Bears, Michael Jordan, and a 1983 White Sox cap make Chicago sports central to the answer.
  • Darlane Flugel, Joey Pants with hair, and roller skating are further period markers.
  • The Honda Elite scooters win because of their era-specific ad campaign and disappearance.

Tango & Cash

The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

The lack of a sequel is an outrage; ranking it second among 1980s buddy-cop films is disputed

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:49:10Read transcript
  • Tango and Cash and Roadhouse are said to have deserved sequels more than many films that got them; leaving LAPD to become detectives is an imagined continuation.
  • The stars’ other sequels make the omission baffling; different cities or countries are imagined for a follow-up.
  • A second take ranks it behind only Beverly Hills Cop, excluding 48 Hours because one lead is not a cop; Lethal Weapon, Turner & Hooch, Red Heat, Running Scared, Midnight Run, Dragnet and Alienation are discussed.
  • Lethal Weapon 2 is preferred to the first; Lethal Weapon 4 is praised separately. Another response includes 48 Hours and places Lethal Weapon 2 and Running Scared above this film.
  • Running Scared’s Key West trip and early Jimmy Smits are praised, and the absence of its sequel is also questioned.
