Back in ‘82, I would’ve gave it 4 stars, but it’s starting to show its age. Nevertheless, I’d recommend it for a first watch.

The original buddy cop movie, Murphy & Nolte have great chemistry together and their banter is hilarious, the story is a little bland though

Hilarious, unorthodox and fun. Eddie at his best(time of life) and Nick is an incredible foil for him. Have fun

A very funny action movie with good acting and is worth the watch

Samuel Colt Houston

Good film loved nick Nolte in this role. The best buddy cop movie ever

It’s the best buddy-cop movie because Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte play off each other so well.

Darko Apostolov

One thing, that last line from the bad guy, "Oh i cant believe it... I got shot." Yeah... that was pretty bad, other than that very fun.

the chemistry between these two is great even tho its volatile.

Solid buddy cop comedy. Eddie Murphy used to be really good.

Björn Isaksson

Great chemistry between Murphy and Nolte. A bit of a forerunner to Lethal Weapon.
