Hey kids! Do you like violence? Do you like several intertwining plot lines that don’t really go anywhere. How about casual racism? You get all this and a whole lot more in this one. It is just the regular crew this time around and we discuss three police centric films. First up, when two wisecracking transit cops encounter trouble with an arsonist, a rapey railroad men, gangsters, a fiery Latina…….had to take a breath. Too many conflicting plot points in Money Train from 1995. Next up, when 2 spunky Chicago cops are at odds with a drug kingpin, they have to battle the urge to kill the bad guy or possibly become deep sea fishermen…… All this and punker Joey Pants in Running Scared. Finally, when a mad bomber is loose in New York City, it’s up to Sly and Billy Dee to take down the bad guy and possibly hit a disco after. All this and Sly in drag in Nighthawks!
