And of course, it's also hilarious to watch him react furiously to Murphy's taunts. He says things that are hilarious, but sounds dead serious about them. He never seems to say anything intentionally funny, but that's what's funny. One of my favorite examples is when Murphy asks Nolte, "Can you tell me a bedtime story?" Nolte responds, "F**k you." "That's my favorite one." Of course, Murphy gets most of the credit for being the comic relief, and he is terrific in one of his best comic performances, but Nolte belts out just as many funny lines as him, though he's the official straight man. Nolte and Murphy's chemistry is priceless, and the banter between them is sharp and hilarious. So the movie packs a punch in both the action and comedy department. A group of martial-arts warriors has only six days to save the Earth from an extra-dimensional invasion. He has appeared in movies, video games, and TV shows. With Robin Shou, Talisa Soto, James Remar, Sandra Hess. James Remar (born December 31, 1953) is an American actor. The forensic blood spatter analyst followed Harry’s Code, a set. Fans will remember that Harry appeared in flashbacks as part of Dexter’s internal monologue. He played Harry Morgan, Dexter’s adoptive father in all eight seasons. The film is directed by Walter Hill, who's great at directing action sequences. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation: Directed by John R. James Remar had a recurring role in Dexter, despite his character having died prior to the events of Season 1. The scene in the all-white, country-western bar, where Murphy shows off his skills as an interrogator, is a classic. How do you from doing such fun, memorable films as "48 Hours," "Coming to America" and "Trading Places" to doing "Showtime" and "I-Spy." This movie proves that Murphy can go leaps and bounds with his comic talent, if the script is well-written. He should choose his roles much more wisely. His talent has been taken for granted over the recent years, since his career has hit a major slump. Watching Nolte as the gruff, chain-smoking Jack, I thought to myself, "He owns that part." Many actors have tried to take on that same role, but nobody plays it better than Nolte. Now that I've seen it straight-through, in its uncut form, I can regard this as an overlooked classic. Some of these "imitators" have failed miserably and even those that succeeded don't match up to "48 Hours." I haven't seen the unedited version of this movie in over ten years (it plays on TV like 4 times every month), and even when I did catch it on TV, I caught it in bits and pieces. He appeared in a movie called On the Yard in the year 1978 and the character he played was named as Larson. Technically, Nick Nolte's the only cop, but other films have tried to imitate the style by having a tough, cranky, by-the-book cop (Nolte's character) paired off with a loose, easygoing, unorthodox cop (like Murphy's character). James Remar’s career has made him who he is today. This is the one of the movies that kicked off the buddy cop formula.
