Axel and Billy with guns in Beverly Hills Cop II
Summary The buddy cop movie has had a long journey throughout pop culture, but the 80s are truly the decade in which the genre truly came alive. Just as the name implies, the buddy cop movie is a subgenre referring to action comedies centered around a duo of unlikely partners in law enforcement going on some dangerous or bizarre journey. Arguably, the first buddy cop movie was by famed filmmaker Akria Kurosawa, titled Stray Dog, and released in 1949.
Director Richard Donner Release Date March 6, 1987 Cast Tom Atkins , Mitchell Ryan , Danny Glover , Mel Gibson , Gary Busey Runtime 109 minutes Perhaps the most ubiquitous film of the buddy cop genre is none other than Lethal Weapon, starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as Martin Riggs and Roger Murtagh.
Director Richard Donner Release Date July 7, 1989 Cast Joss Ackland , Joe Pesci , Danny Glover , Mel Gibson , Derrick O'Connor Runtime 114 minutes Of course, the first film was so successful that an entire Lethal Weapon franchise quickly took root in the Hollywood media machine.
Director Andrei Konchalovsky , Albert Magnoli Release Date December 22, 1989 Cast Sylvester Stallone , Kurt Russell , Teri Hatcher , Jack Palance , Brion James , James Hong By the late 80s, even the biggest names in action movies, like Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, were getting in on the buddy cop craze. Enter Tango & Cash, a movie that embraced the groundwork that had been laid by earlier films in the decade and infused it with a healthy heaping of star power.
Director Walter Hill Release Date June 17, 1988 Runtime 106 minutes Being an action movie craze in the 80s, it would be far from Arnold Schwarzenegger to avoid getting involved with the buddy cop genre. The same year he starred alongside Danny DeVito in the infamous movie Twins, Schwarzenegger also took part in one of the most quietly fantastic films in the genre.
Midnight Run plays out as a disastrous escort mission for De Niro's exasperated Jack Walsh, dodging made men, rival bounty hunters, and the F.B.I. in an effort to secure his paycheck. Grodin works excellently as a living MacGuffin, driving the action and emotional growth of Walsh with his neurotic character.
