Konchalovsky, with Albert Magnoli and Peter MacDonald taking over in

troubled production process, that included numerous script rewrites
and clashes between Konchalovsky and producer Jon Peters over creative
differences.The film was released by Warner Bros. in the United States

critics.Beverly Hills LAPD Lieutenant Raymond Tango and Downtown Los
Angeles Lieutenant Gabriel Cash are considered the two best cops in
Los Angeles. They are opposites in almost every way, and have an
intense rivalry with each considering himself to be the best. Their
actions often make headlines for their large drug busts through the
Southern California area. Unbeknownst to them all the shipments
actually belong to a single criminal organization headed by Yves
Perret. After Tango's latest bust, Perret convinces his associates
Kwan and Lopez that the two officers have become a problem and they
need to remedy it.
