Only three years after Sly had given the mighty Soviet Union a bloody nose in "Rocky IV", Schwarzenegger stars as a Soviet policeman in the slightly more conciliatory, if no less stereotypical "Red Heat". He teams up with the sardonic James Belushi as they attempt to track down a particularly nasty drug runner.
Even for 1988, this concept of mismatched cops was nothing new, and director Walter Hill stages the film much in the mould of his hit "48 Hours". Since then, Hill seems to have developed a fascination with male genitalia as his script is overburdened with suggestions as to where they can be lodged and frequent recommendations of solitary stimulation. Stopping short of a ruler competition, Arnie and Belushi trade insulting quips about their respective cultures, which inevitably boils down to the stopping power of their guns.
Filled with tough action, the film kicks off in Russia (it was actually shot in Red Square - a first for a US production). There we see Arnie on the warpath after the despicable Viktor Rosta, who intends to flood the Soviet Union with drugs. Eluding the 'Big Oak', Victor slips off the USA to procure cocaine to ship back home. Arnie follows and is teamed with Belushi - brilliant, eh?
Dialogue between our East/West cops generally consists of - Belushi: "Do I look like a f***ing cab to you?", followed by a monosyllabic "Yes" from Arnie. In other words, if you still pine for the 80s where East vs West dominated action films, then this is an essential part of your education. In fact, why not catch it all remastered, along with interviews on the new DVD release?
