Let’s not act like Stone Cold wasn’t hard. Stahelski being involved is good vibes

So long as it results in the original getting released on Blu-ray.

Could be terrible, could be Brian Bosworth in Stone Cold level genius...

The story doesn't say anything about this new movie being a remake of the earlier one that happens to have the same title.

The expression "loose cannons" is fairly common, so it could just be the title they picked.

The premise comes close

The premise centers on how every police precinct, at least in this movie’s world, has a crazy, out of control, rule-breaking officer on staff. But rather than pair them with a straight arrow and by the book partner, the premise here is that unhinged person is paired with someone just as out of line as they are.

In Cannons, two loose cannons are forced to partner up after their precincts merge due to budget cuts and no one wants to work with them. The duo end up taking on the cases no one else can.

The script is described as having tones of Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys and Rush Hour, all landmarks in the buddy action comedy genres.

But this is not a remake of that movie.

They are not mismatched cops though. It says they are the same.

My local video store had the display for this up for about two years. I was a Dan Aykroyd fan and even I wasn't enticed to rent it. What a lame poster.

As a Chiefs and Kelce fan, I'm highly interested in the film. That being said, it will take a special script, direction and editor to overcome a novice (though highly charismatic) "actor" like Kelce.

I think of the Please Don't Destroy short on SNL....hilarious. But, Kelce played within his limits and let others do the comedic heavy lifting. He can be cringe, but also really really funny.

Hopefully, as they say on the field, play within himself.

I'm surprised nobody has flipped the odd couple formula. Two cops who are almost EXACTLY alike in every way. They hit it off from the start and work seamlessly together. Except one of them thinks that DS9 is better than TNG and vice versa, so they each secretly plot to kill the other one. There's a lot of collateral damage along the way, and they are assigned to investigate the trail of bodies. With each of them thinking only he is personally responsible and wind up covering up each other's murders.


It's a comedy. Starring Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney.

Anna Faris plays three different roles as their boss and each of their ex wives.

Tim Dowling, whose credits include Adam Sandler comedy Just Go With It, wrote the script.

Well, that's all I needed to know. Hardest possible pass.

If this had been a remake of the Gene Hackman/Dan Ackroyd movie with Travis Kelce doing the multiple-personality thing I might have considered it... </s>

I wonder if Taylor Swift makes an appearance (assuming they’re still together by the time they make this).
