My favorite part of the film


It's one of those things that you maybe don't notice when you watch it the first time, especially when you watched in 1984 when it came out.

There a lot of cool things in the film, but one part has some sort of depth to it that you won't see in the rest of the film. It's 14 minutes in, Axel and Mikey are having a conversation in the bar when Axel suddenly asks:

How come you didn't tell on me when you got caught? How come you didn't tell we were together?

Mikey: You don't know?

Axel: (Shakes head)

Mikey: You don't know?

Axel: No.

Mikey: 'Cause I love you, man.

I also suggest this is essential for Axel's decision to leave his job in Detroit and go seek Mikey's murderer in California.

"Let's go steal a car!"

"I can't do that, I'm a police officer now!"

I really liked their relationship too. I am glad they had Axel go and solve Mikey's murder.
