Three Tough Guys (1974)

 From the Tarantino Grindhouse DVD set. I don't know why 'Three Tough Guys' is called "Three Tough Guys", because there are only two tough guy leads and even the movies theme song is called "Two Tough Guys". Now it's possible I missed the explanation because this movie was hard to sustain interest in, though I doubt the film bothered to explain its self.

Filmed and set in Chicago. Issac Hayes is a disgraced ex cop who lost a partner in a bank robbery, he teams with fighting Catholic Priest Lino Ventura who lost a parishioner in the same bank robbery. Together they work the mean streets to solve the crime and find the missing million dollars. Why they wanted the lost money so bad I'm not sure, again this movie was hard to pay attention to because it is generally pretty dull. Issac Hayes does fry some eggs on an upside down iron and that's pretty cool, otherwise *
