VideoDisc Paramount Pictures presents... 48 HRS. A Lawerence Gordon Production RCA VIDEODISC CED :: Capacitance Electronic Disc System 1 Hour and 36 Minutes / Color Rated R © 1982 Paramount Pictures Corporation Manufactured & Distributed © 1983 RCA Corporation Starring: Nick Nolte Eddie Murphy Annette O' Toole " The boys are back in town. Nick Nolte is a cop. Eddie Murphy is a convict. They couldn't like each other less... They couldn't need each other more. And the last place they ever expected to be is on the same side. - Even for 48 Hrs. 48 HRS. is a tough, sometimes violent crime thriller spiced with first class comic relief starring Nick Nolte (of North Dallas Forty fame) and Eddie Murphy (from Saturday Night Live), Murphy makes one of the most auspicious film debuts in memory as Reggie Hammond, a wise-cracking convict taken out of prison for 48 HRS. by detective Jack Cates in order to help locate an escaped cop-killer named Ganz, his accomplice Billy Bear and a half million dollars in loot. Ganz and Billy Bear are played to vicious, cold-blooded perfection by James Remar and Sonny Landham, respectively. The reason Hammond is willing to help Det. Cates is because, as Reggie says, "I got a lot to protect." - He also wants a woman real bad. Director Walter Hill (The Warriors) manages to pinpoint the razor-fine edge of comedy/drama with the team of Nolte and Murphy pulling off every laugh and every tear magnificantly in a memorable display of acting range and talent. After seeing this fast paced movie for just the first time, it should come as no surprise to anyone that 48 HRS. is one of the top moneymakers of the year. Punctuated with several very hot rock 'n' roll numbers from a sharp new band called the BusBoys, accented with action-packed comedy/drama from Nolte and Murphy, this is the fastest, most entertaining 48 HRS. you're likely to spend in quite a while. - Enjoy it!
