Similartieis To 48 Hrs.


The casting for one thing, mainly supporting actors. The soundtrack also.

I know Another 48 Hrs. was made after Red Heat but their are some similarities here.

The final scene where the "bad guy" gets it is a carbon copy of 48 Hrs. - right down to the smoke/fog.

Both had Brion James & Ed O'Ross.
K-9 also has some from this and An 48 Hrs, Belushi of course, Kevin Tighe, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

Similar, maybe. But I enjoy Red Heat more than 48.

reply

I like both the movie the movie Another 48 hours as well as the soundtrack more than Another 48 hours.

Wasnt Abdul Elijah the same actor that hired those 2 bikers in another 48 hrs?

reply

Dont forget that clavichord(?) & horn riff Horner used in both films, and many others like commando.

it has a bit of the same vibe as "48 hours", i like this director's action movies, it was more action than comedy this, i can't believe how long gina gershon has been around, notice after she has worked out she takes a smoke, the angry look arnold gives when he and james (or jim i guess he's called now) belushi first meets up in the car was funny, as well as the dirty harry comment, i did not need to see all the bare butts parading around in the opening though, and neat with the r in the opening credits, the original vhs cover of this has arnold and belushi's faces shown in equal size, the later release has arnold blown up on the cover and belushi like a little dot in the background. this feels like the typical movie that would get a sequel, i guess it's not too late for that to happen.

while talkin smooth,

playin with these senses of mine.
