I was quite a youngster at the time (and probably too young too actually be watching them), but I enjoyed the hey-day of the cop action comedies that saw the likes of Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop grace our screens.

I don’t know when last you saw Twins, the massive 1988 hit for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, but it has not aged well. Let’s face it: the film was a product of its time. Most of the jokes circled around Arnie’s muscles or Danny’s scheming ways: both things the actors’ characters were respectively known for. After all, these were …
