Stereotypes are big - or rather were big. Almost as big as the buddy comedy tropes in the 80s. But this is the making of Walter Hill - and while that doesn't mean this is an amazing movie, it does have quite a few and neat action sequences.
It also has a beginning that did surprise me. I reckon that in Germany everything is being dubbed. But in its original audio, the Russians talk Russian in the beginning. I didn't stop the clock, but at least for the first 10-15 minutes I reckon either American audiences had to endure subtitles at the beginning or power through only understanding the action that took place. It is quite self explanatory.
Still quite the leap of faith to take and quite the risk I would think. After that Schwarzeneggers accent is being somewhat covered by him trying to do a Russian accent. He breaks quite a few times, so not really convincing, but hey they tried at least, right? If that and the cliches do not bother you, there is some fun and a lot of stunts ahead of you. Belushi has quite a few ad lips - some do not work with the rest of the clip, but I don't think you should really mind that that much - you would have less fun watching this
