Molt, you didn't like MR. MAJESTYK? (you're killing me!
)
Random thoughts on HICKEY & BOGGS:
Very definition of a cult film.
Not really action. More 70's neo-noir.
48 Hrs. comparison unfair. ( tho template is there) Not much humour (to it's detriment perhaps)
Robert Culp is the weak link. Both with his workman-like direction and charisma free performance.
He & Cos are supposed to be screw up, slightly degenerate losers. This angle shouldve been played up more.
"Hey, it's that guy!" moment---James Woods shows up as ball-busting Lt. Also: Ed Lauter and Michael Moriarty.
The thing I loved the best: the guys couldn't shoot straight! plenty of shoot-outs early on & they never hit anybody!!
Conclusion: worth seeing if you can find it. But not worth dropping big bucks.
