Tango & Cash: a look back at the film and it's production

In the below video, a comment by Charlie Stabile is quite damning.

He typed: I worked with a theater director in Los Angeles about 10 years ago. I heard he worked on some movies in years past so I looked him up on IMDb. I was stunned to see he worked on one of my favorite action movies; Tango and Cash. I knew the movie had production troubles and I desperately wanted to hear a first hand account.

When I asked him about his experiences on the film, this is what he told me. ”Kurt Russell was an absolute sweetheart. He was kind to everyone and lovely to be around. Stallone was a different story altogether. Sly wanted the luxury of the character to be shown on screen. So he had the production designers build him an entire house from the ground up. It cost a fortune. When it was finished, Sly went into the house, looked around for about 2 minutes and walked out, he hated it and had no intention of using it. All of the money spent on building that house was lost.”

I just remembered while I was working on that same show, one of my fellow actors told me the best person she ever worked for was Pee-Wee Herman in ‘Big Top Pee-Wee’ and the worst person was Sylvester Stallone on “Rocky IV.’

Sly definitely has his enemies out there.
