One of the original modern buddy-cop films which spawned an entire sub-genre and the classic “ebony & ivory” dynamic; Nick Nolte stars as a tough uncompromising San Fransisco cop who springs Eddie Murphy’s fast-talking criminal character out of prison to track down a murderous escaped convict. An unlikely pairing with irresistibly uneasy chemistry, in the movie which launched the film career of a comedic genius who would come to define the 1980s.Comments are closed.

#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB

#TriviaTuesday: ‘Big Kahuna Burger’ is most certainly the fictional fast food of choice in the Tarantinoverse, appearing or referenced in 'Reservoir Dogs', 'From Dusk Till Dawn', 'Death Proof', 'Four Rooms', as well as its starring turn in 1994’s 'Pulp Fiction' of course. pic.twitter.com/k3xVsbDuA6
