MCT:September 18, 2008This was a good movie. Lots of action, with quite a bit of humor. Arnold was the greatest, and of course, Vodka!

It starts off as a fight scene in a really steamy sauna and it builds up the testosterone from there. Schwarzenegger shows us what he's really made of.

A ridculous (but entertaining) action thriller with Big Arnie in fine form as a sort of Russian Dirty Harry (he even uses a .44 Magnum in this film)!

Unfortunately the movie is an unwatchable. The movie is pretty boring, Red Heat has no overall verve in the story to propel it into the action sequences and while these are occasionally exciting the movie's pace is off. The worst Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.

MCT:July 4, 2008wow i have just seen this 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good thriller movie,,,i think that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great actor nd hes made some good movies throughout...this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout the movie...i think the bath house/sauna scene at the beginning was kind of pointless but the fight between Arnold Schwarzenegger n the other guys was really funn at the start of the movie...this is a cult 1980's movie,...i think that james belushi was/is brilliant as the sidekick of Arnold Schwarzenegger throughout this movie..i think that the director of this Action & Adventure, Drama movie had done a good job throughout the movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout the movie...i think the director of this had done some good movies,,,this is a good arnie movie

Red Heat is a stereo-typical cop movie. Schwarzenegger and Belushi have good chemistry. But the more interesting roles to me were Lawrence Fishburne and Peter Boyle. A good rental, which I just happen to own on DVD.

Good action comedy. Arne and James play at eachother like any good cop couple should. Great bus chase at the end, well worth seeing.

slow to start and quite dated now but still a good film one for the collection i would say. some good quick wit from belushi and schwarzenegger
-
MCT:January 17, 2008This one didn't impress me at all. Well, every director is allowed a couple stinkers, it sure ain't no 48 hours.
-
MCT:January 9, 2008Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Russian policeman sent after a Russian drug dealer who has escaped to the United States and is awaiting extradition in Chicago. Jim Belushi plays his temporary partner on the Chicago police. When the drug dealer escapes, the two police must overcome their differences in order to recapture him.

had fun with this one over the xmas holidays. had not seen it for many years..not a bad story and those guns really did do some damage back then. good combination between serious arnie and silly belushi..

MCT:January 7, 2008ah yes the 80s and shwarzennegger, here he plays a russian cop, in america come to escort a criminal home, naturaly things go wrong, and with chicago wisecracking cop james belushi go on to bring him back in, this was formula in 80s, mismatched cop, buddy movies, from lethal weapon to k9(again belushi with a dog) and great to se the mighty arnold getting in on act, he is great in this, this was his best time, tte 80s, along with terminator and predator, a powerhouse, yes plot is typical 80s crime film, as in it doesent matter, this is a buddy movie its about belushi and schwarzennegger, and there great, belushi full off one liners, and schwarzennegger muscle and one liners, nice action too, and a opening scene where you think have i got right film, i wanted schwarzennegger not gay pawn, but then he enters, and you know your ok

Hmmmm like most arnie films i guess you should not like them but you just cant help yourself! Plot sucks as does the acting but its still watchable if not laughable
-
Arnold Swartzernegger can not pull of an accent to save his life.
I quite enjoyed this movie, arnie and belushi make a great team. -
MCT:September 6, 2007
Arnie's the borin russian fart and Belushi is the foul mothed yank and i think this is the best "buddy" action movie (even better than Rush Hour and 48 hrs)

Story line was alright other then the main thing was about the guy they had at the beginning. Still pretty good action scenes, and interesting communcation between Arnold and Belushi. Good casting.

Well, what is it about 80's action flicks that have that unusual charm to them?
Walter Hill is one of my favourite 80's directors, the man behind 48 Hours and the classic, The Warriors, and this time he gets Arnie and Jim Belushi teaming up for another buddy cop fair. It was in the 80's that the buddy cop, action flicks come out, and dysfunctional partnerships are the craze.
Now, dont expect the movie to be a success on all levels. But its an Arnie movie at a time he was at his peak and still rising, and it was a watchable flick and if you like Arnie (who else could you find to play a giant russian military cop??) and his stoic no-nonsense, Terminator-like attitude and posture, and throw in a few good lines here and there, and you might enjoy it.
Belushi: "No, we can't shoot people in the head, the politicians won't go for it!"
Arnie: "Shoot the politicians first."
Of course, if you all understand, mix a bit of communism in with capitalism, the Russian military driven mind against the typical American work ethos, you do get something quite different.
But in all truth, Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte were funnier in 48 Hours, and Hill never did get the magic he had in The Warriors. Though all his trademarks are there, which incidentaly are the trademarks of 80's and early 90's movies such as over the top, yet pretty good action scenes, James Horner's very recognisable music score, blood, sex, nudity and all that rage. Of course, we do see Arnie in the buff from the very start (>_<") well, I guess that what makes him better than everybody else in Hollywood. ^_^"
If you liked other 80's Arnie Movies such as Commando, Predator etc etc and Walter Hill movies, or other flicks such as Tango and Cash, then yes this is alright. -

great comedy action cop movie....arnie in his kick ass prime and belushi at his short lived peak.this is quite amusing in places,not hilarious but still good.arnie is actually pretty good as a by the books rigid russian cop..his hair is wicked :) and belushi is a pretty good partner making a quite original double team,think rush hour for adults.like all arnie movies..the action is fast,hard and topps.the bus chase is great.

A fun, buddy action film with some funny moments. Quite violent and gritty at times......a tougher version of Rush Hour!

Saw this eons ago. Remember it was ok. Not about to watch it again, but might if it showed up on cable.

MCT:April 28, 2007Hollywood schmaltz at its finest. Totally implausible. The Soviets would've just sent a KGB agent over instead of Ahnold.
