1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Need a score for an 80s action-comedy buddy-cop film? Look no further than [[https://youtu.be/yCa_T8WRmTY Harold Faltermeyer.]]
2	* CrossesTheLineTwice: During the opening scene, Tango shoots a tanker, and cocaine starts spilling out. "What do you know? It's snowing!" He then tastes a little and jokingly asks everyone else present, "Anybody wanna get high?"
3	* DesignatedHero: The eponymous protagonists. Both are seen and implied to be [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]] and are more than happy to break the rules whenever they seek fit (even to the point of using PoliceBrutality). Case in point, the scene with Cash and the suspect he proceeded to nearly strangle with a chair and the NoodleIncident between Tango and Face:
4	-->'''Face:''' This pig cop and his pig friends broke my leg, my ribs and my jaw! ''(Tsking)''
5	-->'''Cash:''' You broke ''that'' jaw? Why?
6	-->'''Tango:''' [[BadMoodAsAnExcuse I was having a bad day.]]
7	** This is especially true of Gabriel Cash. His EstablishingCharacterMoment involves him commandeering a bystander’s car and wrecking it in his pursuit of a hitman as well as endangering several civilians in doing so.
8	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: To quote Creator/BrionJames:
9	-->It's one of the biggest pirated videos in the history of Russia. There were 80,000 pirated copies. Creator/WarnerBros was crazy not to market it properly, but that film was huge. I went to the Ukraine when I was shooting another film, and I was mobbed. I was in the Black Sea and I had no idea that people even knew who I was.
10	* HamAndCheese: The performances of Creator/KurtRussell, Creator/JackPalance and Robert D'Zar, which makes their roles all the more memorable.
11	* HarsherInHindsight: Gabriel Cash's interrogation of the Chinese Triad soldier who tried to kill him in the prologue involves strangling him by tossing him to the floor, placing a chair on his throat, and sitting on it, an act of PoliceBrutality that gets him in hot water when the soldier testifies in court as part of the investigation of the Federal agent he and Ray Tango ([[FrameUp supposedly]]) killed. Now think how bad Cash would look to the public in the post-George Floyd era.
12	* OneSceneWonder: Of sorts: Creator/ClintHoward as Tango's inmate, Slinky.
13	* NarmCharm: Between the many one-liners, several of the scene-chewing performances and Brion James's "[[OohMeAccentsSlipping British]]" accent, it is so unapologetically Eighties that one can't help but find a certain appeal to the film.
14	* SpiritualLicensee: The 1992 Namco game ''VideoGame/LuckyAndWild'' was more than a little inspired by this movie.
15	* {{Woolseyism}}: The Latin American translation changes Tango's "Rambo is a pussy" quip to "Rambo es blando" (Rambo is soft) which, while softer in language, do gives it a SublimeRhyme.
