Bad Guys

Bad Guys is an awesomely fun movie about two cops who moonlight as wrestlers. Honestly they really make it look fun. These two dudes are very likeable and relatable, one being the versatile Baldwin, who donned straight curly white hair, here, which does not agree with him at all. You first have to look at his face on the movie cover to realize it's him. Jolly the more handsome serious flat mate and cop partner. Breaking up and partaking in a pub brawl, their suspended. Like Baldwin's hair, their laboring job doesn't agree with em', Next is stripping which is great, except for only being mobbed by 40+ and 50+ aged women, whose looks, beateux and not, are less less flattering. After being dumped up on Mulholland Drive, by the steamed up, old ducks, they're at a loss. What I like about Baldwin's character, is he's so optimistic Thank god, that cutie assistant manager Nicastaro (Body Rock),who saw their wrestling showcase, weeks earlier, planted a card in their hand. The movie is entertaining, and goes into the wrestling scene from the get go. It's trashy fun, a 80's movie with trashy appeal, cause it's 80's. Most of the laughs, happening in the ring. The evil and good wrestling stars you'll never forget, just like the money greedy, and dirty playing Lord Percy by the great James Booth. Norman Burton is typecast as Baldwin and Jolly's captain, he and Booth also doing Pray for Death at the same time, and guess who Burton was in that. Ruth Buzzi (The Gong Show) adds excitement, sometimes, over excitement, and spark as one of the two cops/stud's trainers. But Bad Guys in an exciting movie, another one, I should bang my head against a door, for not watching it 34 years back. It's got heart, great characters, fresh laughs and like Running Scared, is a great buddy cop movie, more or less, as policing is not all they do.
