“Gangbusters… for anyone who likes buddy-cop movies. It’s big!”

There are buddy cops. And then there are Ray Tango and Gabe Cash. They’re rival L.A. policemen who have one thing in common: each thinks he is the best. And each has the commendations, battle scars and ready supply of hilarious one-liners to prove it. Team them and they’re like oil and water. But frame them for a crime and they’re like a match and kerosene.

Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell muscle up lots of sweaty excitement, high-voltage sex appeal and outrageous laughs in the action comedy Tango & Cash. As the tough and smart Tango, Stallone tackles a role different from his Rambo or Rocky. “Mr. Tango thinks things out,” Stallone explains. “Here, words speak as loud as action.” Said another way, the only sentence Tango won’t finish is his prison sentence.

As reckless, blue-collar Cash, Russell (Big Trouble in Little China, Tequila Sunrise) is equally determined to bust out from behind bars. The tow convicted cops engineer a prison breakout that’s a breathless rush of weapons and wisecracks – then roar after the vicious international crimelord (Batman’s Jack Palance) who set them up.

The most thrilling police-action pair since the Lethal Weapon duo is out to clear their names. They’re Tango & Cash. And they move at the speeds of faster, funnier, smarter and tougher.
