"48hrs" is an action-comedy that is hailed as being the first "buddy cop" movie. San Francisco cop Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) enlists the help of an incarcerated con named Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), who he gets a 48 hour leave from prison, to help him nab a cop killer.

Cool thread

Thank you. I could of sworn I made a thread for this already but I guess I didn't.

Thanks for the thread. I've not seen this movie, or its sequel, in many, many moons.

You're welcome. The last time I watched the original was last year. It's been a long time since I saw the sequel.

was it good when you watched it last year?

I bet it was.

Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy were lethal in this film - what a great team

It definitely was. A good time was had. Nolte was burly and Murphy was funny.

I love that song!

Top song indeed

A classic song for sure. I always think of this movie when I hear it.

never gets old!

48 Hours will always be a classic film with a classic theme song
