Red Heat | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Arnold's introductory sequence in the bathhouse is a stellar action set piece, and the mega-sized bus-chicken car chase / final showdown is simply unhinged 1980s action filmmaking excessive glory at its finest.

It is fairly obvious why Schwarzenegger was chosen to play the role of Danko in Red Heat.

Don't assume that Arnold is pure straight man here, though. He still gets his share of laughs, mostly based on the differences between east and west, and Belushi gets his shot at character and action.

It might never be remembered as a great film - or even as a great Schwarzenegger film - but it's a great slice of nostalgia.

Schwarzenegger, who when he dons a green suit is dubbed 'Gumby' by Belushi, is right on target with his characterization of the iron-willed soldier, and Belushi proves a quicksilver foil.
