48 Hrs.	comment	48 Hrs. is a 1982 Buddy cop film starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. The film tells the story of gruff San Francisco cop Jack Cates (Nolte), who must track down escaped convict Albert Ganz (James Remar) with the temporary help of a street smart criminal named Reggie Hammond (Murphy) within 48 hours.Directed by Walter Hill of The Warriors fame, the film is often considered the first Buddy Cop film,note though earlier precursors include 1949's Stray Dog and 1967's In the Heat of the Night or at least the one to popularize the concept and would go on to inspire later movies such as Lethal Weapon and Tango and Cash. Pitting a black character against a white character and making the black guy a criminal and the white guy a cop? Not only do we have the bad guys doing bad things, we have the good guys getting in fights (in this case, not least, because of racist shit). Thanks to the comic brilliance of Eddie Murphy and the stalwart gruffness of Nick Nolte, a trope was born.The film is also notable for being Eddie Murphy's film debut, helping jumpstart his successful career in film as well.A sequel, Another 48 Hrs. was released in 1990 and is the direct sequel to the 1982 film. It remains the only sequel to date Walter Hill has ever directed.Not to be confused with CBS's documentary series 48 Hours, or A&E's The First 48.

Frank McRae's reprisal of his role from the original 48 Hrs. was entirely cut except for a brief, uncredited shot of him in the background of one scene in the police station. Brion James, also returning from the original, saw his role severely cut down as well, to create a faster-paced action-comedy. Also removed was a scene partially shown in the theatrical trailer in which Jack explains to Reggie that he has a deadline to track down the Iceman; as such, there is no mention of '48 hours' anywhere in the final film.

48 Hrs. / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: This is commonly viewed as the Ur-Example of a Buddy Cop Show, but it's quite different from the typical example in a few ways. An increasingly common twist on the "buddy cop" formula is to have one of the "cops" not actually be a cop. This actually got its start here: Reggie Hammond is a convicted criminal on prison furlough. Not only that, but he used to be a partner to the main antagonist, Albert Ganz. The movie is a good deal more violent and grim than most examples of the genre, with Reggie being the only real source of comedy. And even he has a number of moments where he's completely serious. The tone, in addition to being darker than most buddy cop films that came afterwards, is also more grounded. This can be seen in how the antagonists are portrayed, as well as the tone of the conflict against them. The bad guys are cruel and ruthless people whose crimes are portrayed with serious gravity, and their final showdown with the heroes is not some glorious action set piece, but relatively subdued, with greater emphasis placed on tension and suspense.
