Tango & CashSylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell play rival LA detectives thrown into prison on a false murder charge, who team up to break out and seek their revenge on the drugs baron who framed them. The breakout sequence is spectacular, and took up a fair bit of the film's budget - which shows because the action loses its momentum soon afterwards. Even a change of director - brought about when the original one quit in a dispute over the film's ending - couldn't redeem matters. Co-starring Teri Hatcher, Brion James and Jack Palance in his regulation baddie role
