Tough Guys (1986)
In their younger days, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster made six films together, and in their final pairing Tough Guys, they’re absolutely adorable. They play bank robbers, released from prison after thirty years. Since the last time they saw the outside world was the mid-1950s, they’re shocked by the culture they now see!
Yes, both former hunks have a few miles on them and a different hair color than they used to, but both of them look fantastic and are full of vigor and charm. Burt Lancaster gets sent to an old folks’ home, but rest assured he won’t be happy with the restrictive rules. He’s got plenty of fight left in him, ladies! And you girls who had crushes on Kirk Douglas will delight in seeing him adapt to his new surroundings, including 80s fashions, nightclubs, and a relationship with a younger woman.
Tough Guys is hilarious and super cute, and a must-see for Burt or Kirk fans. They’re both wonderful in this classic “old guys still got it” movie. Once you watch it, you’ll want to watch it over and over again, to relive your favorite moments involving ice cream, dance clubs, food fights, and more. James Orr and Jim Cruickshank’s script is chock-full of fantastic one-liners, seamlessly blending the generation gap between the ‘50s and the ‘80s. It’s got comedy, romance, a touch of drama, action, and suspense—it’s got it all, but it wouldn’t be anything without it’s two leading men, the two tough guys.
