“RED HEAT“
…Was A Summertime Blockbuster-Type Release…
…In Late-Great-1988.
It Was Directed By…
WALTER HILL
…Whom You Know From Other “BUDDY-Style” Flicks Like…
“HARD TIMES“
…And…
“48HRS“
…And…
“ANOTHER 48HRS“
…Just To Name A Few.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
…Is A Russian Detective…
…Sent To The U.S. Of. A. To Bring Back A Fugitive Drug-Dealer/Smuggler With Him.
JAMES BELUSHI
…Is A Wild Chicago Cop…
…Who Doesn’t Take Too Kindly To Being Forced Into Babysitting The Russians.
BUT…
…When Things Get Screwed-Up…
…And The Fugitive Is On The Run…
…The Two Policemen…
(SCHWARZENEGGER and BELUSHI)
…Must Join Forces To Nab The Criminal Before He’s Able To Kill Other Folks AND Make His Escape.
So You’ve Got A Combo Of…
“BUDDY-TYPE COMEDY”
…And…
“DRAMA”
…And…
“HARDCORE BLOODY ACTION”
…That All Add-Up To…
…FUN…
…FUN…
…FUN!!!

Like I Said, My Peeps…
…It Had Been A Long, Long Time…
…Since I’d Actually Taken The Time To Kick-It-Back A Bit…
…And Give This Flick My Full Attention.
And…
…As It Were…
…I Found The Flick…
“RED HEAT“
…Much More Enjoyable NOW Than I Did A Decade Ago.
It Really IS A FUN FLICK, Fo SHO!
If There’s Anything I Can Easily Tell Y’all…
…It’s That They DON’T Make Movies Like This One Any More.
I Mean…
…They Do TRY, I Suppose.
And Trying IS A Good Thing.
Sure Sure.
But TRYING Does NOT Equal SUCCEEDING…
…At Least NOT Every Time.
SOOO…
…If You’re Chillin’ A Bit…
…And You Can’t Find Anything On Worth While…
…Why Not Dial-Up A Flick Like…
“RED HEAT“
!!! !!!
It’s FUN.
It’s EXCITING.
It’s A Window Upon The Soul That WAS The Cold War 1980s.
And It’s A Flick You MAY Enjoy.
Could You Really Ask For More???
Well…
…You COULD…
…But You’re Just Setting Yourself Up For Potential Failure.
At Least With…
“RED HEAT“
…You KNOW What You’re Getting!!!
😉
Right???
RIGHT!!!
