action
Police officers Ray Hughes and Danny Costanzo work in Chicago . They are investigating the leader of a ring owned by drug dealer Julio Gonzales. The cops' superior, Captain Logan, thinks they are overworked and demands that they take a month off.
The police go to Key West , where they decide to quit after 14 years together and buy a bar in Florida. Back in Chicago they want to quit with their captain. But he knows how to remind her of Gonzales again. They are the old police officers again and want to arrest Gonzales in a large drug smuggling operation before they are fired. A spy tells you that a large delivery is due to arrive on an airplane belonging to a certain company. Gonzales confuses the police and the drug dogs by smuggling in a stretched delivery at the same time. They chase him in their police car disguised as a taxi. The chase leads them onto the Chicago Elevated tracks . You drive through tunnels and over an elevated railway line. They have to avoid a few trains. Ray and Danny find the real drug in handcrafted figures from Colombia.
They fall into a trap in search of Gonzales who wants his drug back. When they refuse Gonzales' attempt to bribe their car, they are lifted into a garbage truck. The hydraulic press pushes your car closer and closer together. You can just climb out through the rear window.
The drug lord kidnaps Anna Costanzo, Danny's ex-wife. He demands the drug in return. Ray and Danny use a trick to get the drug packages out of the evidence room. There is a showdown at the State of Illinois Center . Gonzales has replaced the guards with his men. After a wild shootout, Gonzales is dead and Anna and Danny hug each other happily.
Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on June 27, 1986 that the film was still a film about two smart police officers who are best friends and "joke" each other on their way from one hair-raising situation to the next. This genre is so "overpopulated" that it is not clear why one would need a copy. Most of the fun comes from the relationship between the two main characters; Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal wouldn't really need any action.
The magazine prisma wrote that the action was "not exactly the yellow of the egg". The “good-humored main actors”, the “excellent supporting actors” and the “really brisk sayings” would “save” the film.
