Summary
In this episode of the show we are continuing our July chats about buddy cop action movies from the 80s with Stakeout . Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about John Badham as a journeyman director whose success was tied to the quality of the script, Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as a pair of cops who differ only a little and the concept of Rear Window meeting a rom-com as a vehicle for a successful blockbuster. We also talk about Dreyfuss not recognizing a line from Jaws , the practicality of doing pranks while undercover, the importance of establishing a solid villain and the film's divisive ending in a sawmill.
