Tango & Cash 1989

*glasses used to create contrasting character

 Stallone and Kurt Russell together in the same movie. This movie is so action packed it's absurd.
Seriously absurd, it's hard for me to describe the plot, I had to look up the premise on Wikipedia.
 So this is a buddy cop movie along with an action movie. Stallone and Kurt Russell are you guessed it ;opposites. Russell wears t shirts cowboy boots, and jeans. Stallone wears nice suits and . . . Glasses!
the movie opens like this:

The one thing these two cops have in common is that they do anything to catch the bad guy, (including mass destruction)  and they are so good at it the mob is afraid of them. The Mafia creates a plan to frame both of them in a murder. This is so the two are in jail, and the mob can do what they want again.
Stallone wears glasses through most of the beginning, but they are taken off. Basically are off his face through the more action packed parts and worn again when a scene requires more talking than grunting or yelling.  So glasses are worn throughout the movie, just not consistently. Overall  putting glasses on a "tough guy" is a good attempt to break the nerd stereotype. Way to go Stallone.
