Short description
Ray Tango and Gabriel Cash are narcotics detectives who, while both being extremely successful, can't stand each other. Crime Lord Yves Perret, furious at the loss of income that Tango and Cash have caused him, frames the two for murder. Caught with the murder weapon on the scene of the crime, the two have no alibi. Thrown into prison with most of the criminals they helped convict, it appears that they are going to have to trust each other if they are to clear their names and catch the evil Perret.
What's left behind the scenes
- The scene in which Tango (Sylvester Stallone) stops the truck is very reminiscent of a scene from "Police Story" (1985), where Jackie Chan does the same.
- The film's original title was "The Set Up".
- During filming, Andrei Konchalovsky left the project. Albert Magnoli completed the film. However, Andrei Konchalovsky is listed as the sole director in the credits.
- Barry Sonnenfeld was originally slated to be the cinematographer for this film, but was fired at the request of Sylvester Stallone. He was replaced by Donald I. Torin.
- The full version has a runtime of 104 minutes.
- Actor Savely Kramarov appears in one of the film's episodes.
- The prison scenes were filmed at Mansfield Reformatory (also known as Shawshank Penitentiary in the film *The Shawshank Redemption* (1994)), and this occurred before its official closure, meaning the prison was still operational at the time.
- At the beginning of the film, when Tango shoots the tanker truck and drugs spill out, one of the police officers asks: “Do you think you’re Rambo?” to which he replies: “Rambo is a pathetic loser!”
- Patrick Swayze was originally slated to play Cash, but he left the project and starred in “Road House” (1989) instead.
- Originally, Bryon James’ role as Rekin was very small. James then began speaking with an English accent. This pleased Stallone, who rewrote the script, expanding James’ role.
- When Tango and Cash are fleeing the prison, Cash turns to Tango and asks him: “Don't you want a coffee and a Danish now?” Tango, played by Sylvester Stallone, replies: “I hate Danish pastries!”, alluding to his recent divorce from Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen.
- Filming took place in Ohio and California from June 12th to October 20th, 1989.
