Action UPS shooting The First Buddy Cop Movie Was A Japanese Classic From The 1940s
Before Lethal Weapon, 48 Hrs., Freebie and the Bean, and even In the Heat of the Night came along, Akira Kurosawa laid the groundwork for the now-familiar “buddy cop” genre with his 1949 classic Stray Dog. The argument could be made that no one has influenced modern Hollywood filmmaking more than Kurosawa. With The Hidden Fortress, he laid out the template for Star Wars. With Seven Samurai, he laid out the template for team-up action movies like The Magnificent Seven and The Expendables. With Yojimbo, he laid out the template for lone-wolf antiheroes like John Wick, Snake Plissken, and the Man with No Name. And with Stray Dog, he laid out the template for the “buddy cop” subgenre.
