Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaReportedly, Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett did not get along during production, and neither were very warm with each other when they went out to go promote the movie. Hartnett later revealed in an interview that he and Ford got along better by the end of filming, but said that there were times they would end up just sitting in the car when they were supposed to be doing a scene and neither of them would say anything for like an hour.
- GoofsWhen the handcuffed prisoner steals a gun and shoots up the parking lot, KC and Gavilan agree that he fired 15 shots; he actually fired 18, which, according to them, is more than the gun holds.
- Quotes
Joe Gavilan: Don't call me sir. I work for a living.
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits, Joe and K.C. arrive at the location of their new crime scene investigation.
Featured review
Interesting Characters make "Hollywood Homicide" worth while
In "Hollywood Homicide" , the latest effort from writer/director Ron Shelton , Harrison ford and Josh Hartnett play two homicide detectives investigating the quadruple murder of an up-and-coming rap group.
As the film progressed , I found myself being surrounded by numerous cliches. But there are a few major things that set this film apart from others like "Lethal Weapon" and "Rush Hour". The partners are not mismatched , not constantly annoying each other , and it is filled with interesting characters that make up for the generic storytelling. Fords character moonlights as a real estate agent who , despite not having sold a house in some time , dabbles in the business because being a cop can't pay the bills. Hartnetts character teaches yoga classes , taking advantage of his side job and using it as a way to meet women. This makes even the most generic scenes seem fresh and new. So , when watching an otherwise predictable car chase , you will find yourself worrying more about the characters reactions than the actual car chase itself. This is a film that relies more on characters than action and eye-candy. You will probably wear a slight grin on your face when Hartnett re-enacts "A Streetcar Named Desire" on the balcony of a Beverly Hills condo , or when Ford closes a real estate deal on his cell phone in the middle of an intense gunfight. So , while it is bogged down with a predictable story , "Hollywood Homicide" puts itself a step above other cop films by having characters we actually care for. 8/10.
