After scoring a hit with the Eddie Murphy-Nick Nolte cop thriller 48 Hours, director Walter Hill returned to the buddy formula with this half-ridiculous, half-invigorating action flick about humourless Russian cop Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger). He follows a drug dealer from Moscow to Chicago, where he's matched up with city cop Art Ridzik (James Belushi), whose work ethic is considerably more relaxed. Most of the humour revolves around Danko's grumpy reaction to good ol' American capitalism, while Ridzik urges him to chill out. Red Heat is not bad as action comedies go, but only if you get into the absurd spirit of this predictable fare, in which the unlikely buddies get to wisecrack and act casually while mayhem erupts everywhere they go. Incidentally, Red Heat was the first American film allowed to shoot in Moscow's Red Square. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

I will assume you already know the movie and are trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to blu-ray. In my opinion the transfer is fantastic, both picture and audio quality are excellent given the age of the film, making this the best version you can get and well worth the upgrade considering the price if you are a fan.
If you already own Raw Deal on blu ray the extras here are the same so it might be worth getting the American version which is region free and has different and possibly more interesting features.

Ok so we all know the story Russian cop (fish out of water) arrives in the city to extradite the drug dealer who killed his friend. Excellent performances from Schwarzenegger and Belushi. Classic action comedy.
As for the bluray picture quality it is excellent. you could almost believe this is a more recent movie. It looks that new and improved. Buy it!

Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a tough Moscow cop on the trail of Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross) the drug dealer who killed his partner. When Viktor turns up in Chicago, having paid an American woman to marry him and being held by the local police on minor charges, Danko is sent to bring him back.
The Soviet government does not want to tell the Americans just how important a prisoner they have and so, unalerted to the danger, the Chicago cops arrange a casual handover and the rest of Viktor's gang manage to spring him. In the process, one of the two Chicago cops with Danko is killed and that leaves him and Art Ridzik (James Belushi) together on a mission. They have both lost a partner to Viktor and they want to get him.
Thrown into the mix is the inevitable element that both men are seen as unreliable by their superiors and that, while they start out with a lot of mutual suspicion, it turns into respect as they become buddies.
All of the above sounds pretty much the standard Hollywood cop story formula and that does not bode well but this movie wins on its execution and balance. It's very well edited with a constant but not overwhelming flow of action and a script that gives both Belushi and Schwarzenegger occasion to deliver moments of levity.
Both leads are well cast and they do a good job together and you can believe not just in the characters but in the way that they rub along together.
Despite the fact that parts of the movie were shot in Russia and Eastern Europe using local actors, the movie does not seem to move beyond a stereotyped view of the people and country. That is really just a small criticism though and the important thing is that this is one of the best buddy-cop movies around.

Uncut and the Best Picture Quality I've seen!
Classic Arnie action movie, seemingly uncut compared to previous versions I have seen and definitely the best transfer in terms of picture quality.

Moscow's toughest detective. Chicago's craziest cop. There's only one...
Whilst this movie has many stereotypes, with Arnie in his terminator 1 role and James Belushi running through wise crack lines at one a minute, I liked this film a lot. Read more

One of Arnie's worst

Not Arnies best
Red Heat is passable fair. However this is not Arnies best hour, the major problems being that there is no chemistry between himself and Belushi. Read more
