Feb 23, 2021 · Here's Men's Health's list of the 25 best buddy cop movies of all time, including Men in Black, Rush Hour, The Nice Guys, The Heat, and 21 Jump Street.

- Bad Boys. Bad Boys is the definitive bud dy cop movie series, as far as I’m concerned. Other films came first, and Lethal Weapon undeniably did a lot to push the genre forward, but Bad Boys is the ultimate realization of two wacky assholes blowing shit up under the paper-thin defense of a police badge.
- Hot Fuzz. Hot Fuzz is easily Edgar Wright’s best movie. Part action movie and part action movie send-up, it does the difficult task of juggling wry observations of buddy action tropes while delivering some of the best versions of buddy action tropes ever captured on film.
- Lethal Weapon. It’s hard to overstate the impact Lethal Weapon had on the buddy cop genre, and on action films in general. The formula already existed (most notably in films like 48 Hrs.)
- Tango & Cash. Tango & Cash was the very last movie released in the 1980s, and it absolutely shows. Imagine if the first Lethal Weapon had been written on ten times the amount of cocaine and 8,000% of the hubris, and this motion picture is the result.
