#29. The Other Guys
The Other Guys focuses on two New York City police detectives Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz (portrayed by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg respectively) that have been office pencil pushers for years, while the station’s two top cops Highsmith and Danson garner praise from not only the NYPD but from the entire city for their cowboy, take-no-prisoners antics. They crash a lot of cars, don’t play by the rules, and always have a one-liner at the ready and a lady at their sides.
One of the most memorable scenes of the film was unscripted. When Terry says that if he were a lion, and Allen, a tuna, he would go swimming into the ocean and eat him whole. According to the script, Allen was not supposed to answer to the taunt. Nonetheless, the actor improvised a whole dialogue explaining why a swimming lion would not be a feasible idea.
