    Shane Black had to be thinking of it when he wrote Lethal Weapon.
    Had to.
    No, Shane Black was probably thinking of "Freeby and the Bean".

        Love it! This inspires me to start a new thread on "Over the Top" films.
        Just one more reason to get hammered tonight.

                I would say Cliffhanger but Nighthawks was pretty damn good too.

                  Copland...he actually made me forget, temporarily, that he's a bad actor.

                    I saw Nighthawks recently on TV and it stood up pretty well, and is head and shoulders above the usual Stallone crap.

                      I liked Cobra a lot, even though CNN listed it and Highlander as the two worst movies of the year back in the day.

                      However, it really hasn't aged well.


                      I'd have to give it to either Lock Up (GREAT cinematography), Tango and Cash (mostly for Russell's performance), or Victory.

                        I agree with Beef. I think Nighthawks worked because Sly wasn't trying to be a hero per se. He never tried to upstage Rutger -- just like he didn't try to upstage the Apollo Creed character. The producers were bummed out by the low gross. It was released right after the Reagan assasination attempt and during all that IRA stuff going on in Ireland at the time.

                        Sheer 80's synthesizer soundtrack by Keith Emerson (Emerson Lake & Palmer) wasn't bad either.
                        "I ask every producer I meet if they need TV specs they say yeah. They all want a 40 inch display that's 1080p and 120Hz. So, I quit my job at the West Hollywood Best Buy."
