43 years ago, the success of the box office of 48h, in which Nick Nolt and Eddie Murphy were arguing and beating as they tried to find some malicious convicts, turned. Buddy-Cop Subgenation in formula gold mine. Before the eighties of the last century, films such as "Frightened", "Beverly Hills", "Deadly Weapons" and "Red Heat" were able to work profitable variations of this very simple dynamics. Although police officers have never been harder to take root, the subgenre, confirmed by the success of 2024 at Beverly Hills Kop: Axel Foley, is still commercially attractive today.

While films like "48 hours". And "spacecraft weapons" were powered by firmly constructed scenarios, the vast majority of Buddy policeman's films appeared on a comical anarchy. They actually had more in common with Richard Rush's glorious shaggy "fribbes and beans"; Two partners exchange a vulgar repart for several hours while destroying a large number of property and unnecessarily endangers the lives of innocent passers -by. Michael Bay 2's "Bad Boys 2" is ne plus ultra of this form.

Somewhere in the middle is "armed and dangerous". This action-comedy carried its stupidity on the sleeve by pushing the "SCTV" alumas Johnon Candy and Eugene Levi in ​​a brazen yarn, crushing with apple cleaners for security guards. If you've ever wondered what the "bad guys" would look like if they made the Dana Carvi-Jonon Lovitz version as originally intended, this is pretty much. Posted on August 15, 1986, a lot was done. Unfortunately, most of Movieegoers gathered on another movie that opened that weekend.

Tweaking the Buddy-COP genre through a movie about several security guards who stumble upon a corrupt operation that progresses because the perpetrators count on the guards to be too stupid/inappropriate to sniff their poorly masked abuse, in fact a great idea. If it was gathered as it was, the film will star Dan Airoyd and Johnon Belushi and directed by Harold Ramis. When Belushi died, Candy took his role. Caron Carpenter is suddenly attached to directly. It was a picture. Then they are banned by icroid and carpenter.

In 1986, Candy told the Los Angeles Times"When they turned out, I had a contract and had no movie. That's how he entered (Eugene Levy), he took my role and took the place of Dan." This may have been a mistake. Candy is more than the task of playing excessively aggressive ex-cap whose instincts on the spot have proven to be disturbing for his corrupt employers, but he is slightly saturated. Meanwhile, Levi's role was prescribed to make a brain partner. After all, both are buffers, and this width collides with aesthetic action in the 1980s (orchestrated by Mark L. Leicester just a year after he delivered the classic "commando" of Methhead).

"Armed and Dangerous" shared his open weekend with his debut of David Cronenberg's "flies", which proved to be a critical and commercial sensation. Although Candy and Levi are good for some big laughter (candy that hits a wild driving with a "Rednek" trucker played by Steve Rilesbeck is a mark), the film never gets undressed. Even the presence of flirting-with -ardwell Meg Ryan cannot speed up the film's pulse.

But 39 years after the "armed and dangerous" hit theaters, According to FlixpatrolCurrently the second most watched film on tubes. It's an ideal strimmer movie. You can sit back, enjoy the substance of your choice, suffer from ad breaks, and feel properly entertained. There are worse ways to ignite for several hours.
