| In this buddy cop action comedy, Tango (Sylvester Stallone) and Cash (Kurt Russell), two disgraced rival LAPD cops who hate each other but are forced together to restore their reputations, hunt down the man who set them up to get kicked off the force, Yves Perrett (Jack Palance). They break into his warehouse hideout, which includes a secret room with a hall of mirrors, which all evil lairs must have, and kill his henchmen. They find Perrett in the mirrored room holding Tango's sister Kiki (Teri Hatcher), bound and gagged with a gun to her head. She's a nightclub dancer who strips and plays the drums and Cash is smitten with her. They want to shoot him, but they're not sure which Perrett they see is real and which is the reflection. Finally they agree to keep him alive, shooting him in the kneecaps on the count of three, but on the count of 2 they both shoot him in the forehead, claiming that their gunsights are off. They go into the room and rescue Kiki, asking each other how they knew which image was the real Perrett. Cash says he saw a reversed monogram, and Tango says he saw a ring on the wrong hand. The three of them race out of the warehouse which explodes after they get outside, like a true action movie cliché. The mirrors scene begins at approximately 1:35:10. Watch the scene on YouTube |
