Personality Clash Action Comedies
We've all seen the story: tough guy gets paired with the quiet nerdy type fella or the squeamish girl. Any favorites?
I'd say Midnight Run and Live Free or Die Hard |

There was that Tim Robbins movie with Martin Lawrence.

Does Blankman count?

I would say a good example of personality/cultural clashing would be Rush Hour. |
Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Romancing the Stone |
Leathal Weapon
|
Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
In that case, Lethal Weapon 2 with Joe Pesci added in.

Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
Does the entire trope of tsundere count?

Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
I was going to nominate Hot Fuzz, though it doesn't quite fit CQ's specified definition of "tough guy/nerdy guy" - or maybe Nick and Danny do count.

Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
It doesn't have to be as specific as I went. I put the tough guy thing up there as an example. You guys can just name your favorites, don't worry about it counting or whatever.

Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
Fair enough. I'm sort of surprised nobody mentioned it before I did.
|
Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
What about Turner and Hooch? Don't eat the COUCH!
|
Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
Midnight Run was a good one in the original post, so I'll have to add Beverly Hills Cop
|
Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
A little unconventional, but the first non-obvious thing that came to my mind was The Fifth Element.

Re: Personality Clash Action Comedies
planes, trains and automobiles.
