You're all wrong. It's The Last Boy Scout.

Last Boy Scout is the top five buddy cop movies of all time? It's a good movie, but I doubt it's good enough to be considered five movies all in one.

I agree.

I still maintain that all the ground of the buddy cop movie was covered by Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours and Lethal Weapon. A large part of this genre was the clash between having a black and a white cop and one of them spending most of the time making wisecracks (usually the black one and always Eddie Murphy).

the 7 Ups
Stake out
48 Hours (ones not a cop but they work together and in a wy are the quintessential buddy cops)

Wow. I'm shocked no one has mentioned what is arguably the prototype/godfather of the buddy-cop, action-comedy and one of the best, FREEBIE & THE BEAN

I'd go French Connection, The Seven-Ups, 48 Hours, To Live and Die in LA, and Real Men with Se7en and Fallen getting honorable mentions.

Re: ***Your Top 5 Favorite Buddy Cop Movies of All Time***

The Last Boy Scout
Lethal Weapon 1/2/3
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
48 Hrs.
Pineapple Express (to an extent)
Midnight Run
Tango & Cash
The Long Kiss Goodnight

If "buddy criminal" movies count, put In Bruges there as well. The Irish KKBB.

I've been meaning to seek out Freebie and the Bean for a while, and The Hard Way is on my Netflix queue.

Stakeout is my pick for most underrated. All of my other favorites are mentioned here already.

Well, Stakeout is too, but still. Underrated, IMO.

Re: ***Your Top 5 Favorite Buddy Cop Movies of All Time***

My list may not be entirely eligible for consideration, but it turns out I'm not that big into buddy cop movies.

Hollywood Homicide
The Minus Man
Spoiler:
(even though the buddy cops are hallucinations)

Hot Fuzz
Superbad (even though the cops aren't necessarily the focus of the film)
Super Troopers (provided there's no cap on how many buddies can comprise our buddy cops)
