With “Only 48 Hours” in 1982, director Walter Hill created a gritty action classic and at the same time established the construct of the buddy comedy within a still tough setting. Six years later he repeated the successful formula with Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi in the leading roles. The result is an action thriller that is as bloody as it is humorous “Red Heat”the RTL ZWEI on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 10:05 p.m radiates.

Great 80s fun: That’s why “Red Heat” is still fun
Shortly before the end of the Cold War, Walter Hill cast the Terminator as a rigid Soviet army hunk and had him meet a relaxed, fluffy city cop in Chicago who first had to acquaint him with local customs. The contrasts between the two characters, who work together to hunt down a drug dealer, are the heart of “Red Heat”, which, in addition to successful action, can fully rely on the chemistry between its main actors. The humorous dialogues also help ensure that the film has lost none of its charm. Maybe the opposite is even the case, because now it also acts as a nice reminder of the (good) old days, which makes it definitely worth checking out again.
