a movie so awesome i named my cats after them when i was 5

You can get one or two good laughs from all the exaggeration.

used to be my favourite when i was kid

You gotta love some good 80's cheese. It's got synth music, Kurt Russell's mullet, awesome one liners, mindless explosions, boobs, and of course FUBAR. If you don't like this movie, you don't have a soul.

This isn't a good movie. At all. Honestly, it's quite bad--but it's extremely entertaining, and oddly not even in some kind of MST3K way. This flick has an element that I feels is missing from so many films these days, and that's fun. It's completely stupid and badly written, but there's such a sense of playful fun between Stallone and Russell, who have great chemistry together. It works best as a comedy, but fails as a cop/action movie.

Pretty much the epitome of the "guilty pleasure". Cheese, explosions, &c., &c.

Still hilarious today and it is intentionally campy so there's no ambiguity there. Kurt Russel/Stallone make a great team of vacant meathead cops. It's 80's nonsense dialed up high. Jack Palance sort of resembles a mummy too.

I'll be damned, but Russell and Stallone have real chemistry together, and form an effective comedy duo, with Stallone playing it straight, and Russell as the funny man. The film has great action, quality one-liners, and consistently hilarious gags and self-references. It's over-the-top and ridiculous, played with constant wisecracks, frequently at the action duo themselves. Overall, it's damn good entertainment.
