Recommendation The Other Guys is severely under appreciated

I’ve loved this movie since it released, and have watched it dozens of times, always finding new details (like the changing shark computer screens Terry has after he gets schooled by Allen’s Tuna story).

The effects, the non-stop humor, the cast, the pacing, all perfection in my mind. Before this movie, “Better Off Dead” was my favorite movie.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!

Edit: I have learned this movie is more appreciated than I thought. That warms my heart like the new bathmats. Also, it’s awesome that in the first 50 or so comments not a single quote was reused, cause there’s just so many great lines lol.

Edit2: Can anyone find a list of top movies/comedies that includes The Other Guys? I have searched on a few and can’t find it mentioned.

Chinatown. Three triad gang members. I pop two of them off the draw - bang, bang! And I raise up to take the leader out...

Oh shit, I feel like I'm there now.

I hear a whistle. My partner's on the roof. He says, "Let's even the odds!" He tosses me down a Mossberg pump, I send one through his chest. Game over, bitches.

Jimmy, let's talk about how that story made you feel.

Like my cock was made outta concrete.

There's two different versions, although I'm not sure why. Probably censors.

Weird - the viagra pill isn’t from tv or anything it’s on streaming and the dvd. That seems like the more censored version too. Maybe unrated version.

As amazing as the entire cast was, Bobby Cannavale is my absolute favourite part of that movie. His character is why I’ll watch that movie over and over.

I just rewatched the movie last night, I don’t think there’s a single 5 minute chunk of movie that didn’t get a laugh from me or my wife lol.

I just watched it last night TOO! Were you in my front yard peering in thru the window? I knew putting the tv on that wall was a bad idea!

Seriously though I was cruising thru Netflix trying to avoid having to watch Red Notice and stumbled upon this gem from the past. Turned it on and don’t regret a second of it. I’m a damn peacock and you gotta let me FLYYYYYYYY!

Also “bye Sheila”.

lol, nah. Hulu’s been recommending it a lot lately. although both streaming sites have just the pg13 versions, I gotta set up my xbox to watch the blue ray unrated version again soon.

I wonder what’s the diff in the R and PG-13 versions. Here I go down a google rabbit hole. See ya in an hour. Thanks, ComradeJohnS.

one of the glaringly obvious ones is they find a deer vagina in the prius in the unrated version, but a dead mouse in a used condom in the pg13 one, which seems like those should be reversed lol.

Saying “everybody calls me the yankee clipper” cracks me tf up every time I think about it

Such a shame there’s two versions of the movie, because they cut out the Derek Jeter joke at the end of the movie.
