It’s been my theory for a long time that Marvel’s Secret Invasion TV show will bring Black Widow back to life, revealing the one that died in Endgame was a Skrull. The Secret Invasion comic event undid a few deaths, and it seems like bringing back ScarJo seems the best twist they could manage for the TV show, so you

For whatever reason, that was a moment for ‘Detective has dog partner’ movies. I don’t know if K9 starring Jim Belushi and a German Shepherd holds up better, but I do know that German Shepherds are good looking dogs and French Mastiffs are ugly critters.  So that right there is a point against T&H.

I’m kind of torn on this, because Supercop was just absolutely mind-blowing with regards to the stunt work but I can’t really remember any part of that movie apart from that. Chan and Yeoh pulled off stuff that they’ve still gotta be looking back at and thinking “You know, I really should have died right then”, but

Nice that you got the RRR guys in there. That’s an amazing movie. And I’d have put Newman and Redford in The Sting on the list too.

Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues is a massive miss.  It’s a one-time duo, but so were others on the list.

Oh, and Indiana Jones and Marion. Indy obviously went on to continued stardom with other co-leads. Still, Raiders of the Lost Ark is such a towering (and influential) movie in the action/adventure genre, and that was another high-chemistry duo, so they also seem like a strong candidate for inclusion.

Absolutely. That whole sequence, with Godunov bursting out of the building like a demon, the gun, the smoke, the resolving focus to Powell’s face—perfect, especially given his backstory.

Michelle Yoeh and Jackie Chan in Supercop. The motrcycle jump onto the train and the helicopter scene make it an easy #1 considering they performed their own stunts.

Yeah, I am tempted to nominate Nick and Nora Charles . . . .

Blues Bros???

What about John McClane and Sgt. Al Powell? Seems the most iconic pairing of all. The fact that McClane was in the building and Powell is outside and his role is mainly to provide support to McClane, a fellow cop on his own in an impossible situation, is what really hits home to me.

Elijah Wood and Rudy?

Came here for Angel and Butterman, would have been devastated not to see them.

Turner & Hooch does not hold up. I watched it relatively recent because We Hate Movies did an episode about it and not very good. Worth watching if you want to see Reginald VelJohnson play another cop and Tom Hanks’ bulge in a pair of very tight underwear.

First of all, it’s called a “canopy.” “Roof” sounds out of place in the context of a fighter jet. “Bubble” or even “window” would have worked better.

That last one is just him trying out his post-divorce haircut then choosing plugs instead.

yup! we’ll see how things turn out.

I am baffled they didn’t name one of the other minifigs Glorfindel, just as a nod to those who’ve read the books.
