    In the 80’s mainstream Hollywood movies were still comfortable letting their heroes be deeply flawed. In 48 HRS. (1982) Nick Nolte’s cop is rough around every edge but the film lets him change. They were messy, selfish, and human, which is exactly why they felt relatable. #EddieMurphy

    The Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday Sale is live! I'm thrilled to have contribued a commentary track to the late Corey Yuen's WOMEN ON THE RUN--it's a gonzo blast of buddy-film action that re-translates 48 HRS as a fevered bit of gender-flipped Category III grindhouse delirium.

    Slightly off topic but I still think about the story of Walter Hill being forced to cut 25 minutes out of “Another 48 Hrs.” one week before its release. I’m not saying it was ever going to be “Citizen Kane” but I bet there’s a better movie on a shelf somewhere at Paramount.

    I was watching 48 Hrs. (1982) today, and it struck me that Nick Nolte is just an elongated version of Chris Farley. The violent jerky mannerisms, the yelling, the crazy blonde hair; it's all there!

    The new “Beverly Hills Cop” movie is reminding me that there supposedly exists a completed 2-hour version of “Another 48 Hrs.” that was almost released, and then the studio panicked and cut a half hour out of it a week before release. Someone should restore that while Walter Hill’s still alive.

    Brion James - 📽️ Crimewave (Sam Raimi, 1986) James (Blade Runner, 48 Hrs.) is such a distinct and memorable character actor and ‘80s heavy. Raimi’s madcap script with the Coen Brothers gives him plenty to play as a Looney Tunes villain complete with high-pitched cartoon voice. He’s still scary.

    > Silver appears on-screen at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as Raoul J. Raoul, the director of the animated short Something's Cookin. Raoul loses his temper at toon Roger Rabbit for seeing tweety birds when a refrigerator crashes on his head, and not stars as the script specified. This was a prank Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis pulled on then-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, as Eisner and Silver had despised each other since their days at Paramount Pictures in the early 1980s,…

    Final Thoughts: 48 Hrs. is a decent buddy cop movie. Disheveled detective Nick Nolte takes criminal Eddie Murphy out to break a case. The results should have been comedy gold but who is the comedian here? Nolte's bad cop is far funnier than Murphy, and that's saying something. #hatm

    The 80s blockbusters (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, 48 Hrs etc.) that defined the look and feel of moser action cinema were built off 70s exploitation cinema, most of which were a sea of Dirty Harry clones. This movie codified the “action” film.

    48 Hrs might be my fave. I’d say it’s perhaps Eddie Murphy’s most underrated movie. He’s made so many since but his debut appearance may be among his best. I remember seeing it when it opened and the audience reaction to the Torchy’s scene. You instantly knew this guy had just changed film history.
