    • Trivia
      The idea of teaming up of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg had been gestating since The 79th Annual Academy Awards (2007), where Will had been viciously insulting other actors as part of a bit, but became extremely polite to Mark.
    • Goofs
      Gamble owns a red Prius. At one point, the right rear door is replaced by a gray door (due to events happening in the movie). Later, when the car is on a train, the door reverts to red. However, two scenes later, the car door is gray again.

    • Alternate versions

    Buddy Cops, Buddy Cops: What they gonna do?

    Really good watch, will watch again, and can recommend.

    This is weird proof that Will Ferrell can do (some level) of action, and (as always) he's hilarious alongside Mark Wahlberg (see also "Daddy's Home").

    To me, this is a testament of how good Will Ferrell is, not only can he elevate a bad premise (it just wasn't that strong), but he can elevate another actor (not saying Mark Wahlberg is bad, he's just not Will Ferrell).

    With the on screen chemistry, a slew of supporting actors, including Michael Keaton, and some actually good action scenes, the onslaught of comedy sugar definitely helps any of the weaker jokes go down.

    While I think the weak point is the villains: its a very bland "greedy millionaire business" trope, but even they get some good jokes in.
