One of the fondest movie memories of my youth

I think I was 18 when Tango and Cash was released. I probably saw it on opening night, as I did with most films then. I was dating a girl, also about 18, maybe 19, who was a bit wishy-washy, but also kind of hot. And horny.
The drive to the theatre from her home was about a half-hour. In that time, she told me that she felt the only reason I took her out to the movies and then to Pizza Hut (yep, Pizza Hut) was because I got to have sex with her afterward. I vehemently denied her claims and stated that even if we had sex before dinner and a movie, I would still take her out after the lovin'.
To prove my point, when we arrived, I drove my 1982 Toyota Tercel behind the theatre, found a nice, private spot to park, then reclined the passenger seat all the way to horizontal, and proceeded to put the meat to her.
When I was finished four minutes later, we redressed, moved the car to the main parking lot, went into theatre, paid an outrageous $5 each for admission, and watched Tango and Cash.
True Story.
And the best part was that Kurt Russell's naked a$$ made her horny all over again, and I got more lovin' after the movie. I was 18; I could turn it around that fast without a nap in those days.
God, I miss sex.

Thanks for the kind words. I probably could have gone five or six minutes, but I didn't want to miss any previews.

And just to clarify, I did make her pay her own admission to the theatre, but I sprung for Pizza Hut later. I was much more of a gentleman back then.

Funny thing is back in 1989, before the movie began there might have been one or two trailers then straight to the film. In 2012, you get about 7,8,9, trailers, then the movie starts, and by that point all you can think about is leaving. I remember back in the 80's they would sometimes have a cartoon and a coming soon trailer and then proceed straight to the feature. Man, things sure have changed and not for the better either.

you forgot to mention that on top of 8-10 trailers for other movies...there is also 8-10 product commercials before the previews(im talking about after the lights go down, we think its the previews coming, but no a regular lengthened TV commercial)...wtf

theres no need to worry about "missing the previews" unless you're at least 30 mins late after the posted showtime

I still can't get over the fact it takes 4 minutes!!!

Is it normal that it takes that long?

One of my favorite movies. I was 11 and a friend swiped it from his folks and a bunch of us watched it thinking it was so cool there were naked woman in it and blood and guts. Those were the days.

I was 5 years old when the movie got out, and I must have been 6 or 7 when I first saw it with my dad. Like with so many other macho 80's action movies, I felt privileged to see those more "adult" films with my dad, so I will always have fond memories related to Tango and Cash and it's a movie I almost see again every year. I saw pretty much every movie with Schwarzenneger, Van Damme, Seagal and Stallone during that period and even though they are far from masterpieces, I still enjoy them immensely for what they are. I would even go as far as saying that I mostly prefered american action movies back then. Today, ironically, the best action movies I see are precisely the ones that are almost an homage to 70's and 80's action movies.

I've had some of that exact thing happen except it was 90 & 91, I'm just barely younger then you are. For example took a girl to Total Recall, had sex before and after and the very next day took a different girl and did the same thing before and after and neither one found out about the other. Lol good times, wish I could go back and try even harder for other adventures.
