Loose Cannons is a 1990 comedy film, written by Richard Matheson, Richard Christian Matheson, and Bob Clark, who also directed the film. The film is about a hard-nosed cop who is teamed up with a detective with multiple-personality disorder to uncover a long-lost Nazi sex tape, featuring Adolf Hitler, which would jeopardize the political future of the German chancellor-elect. The film stars Dan Aykroyd, Gene Hackman, and Nancy Travis. The film was released by Tri-Star Pictures. Loose Cannons may be a wacky buddy-cop comedy, but it starts with a chilling premise. It seems that a film is... discovered that depicts the final moments of Adolf Hitler's life. The climax features young German officer Von Metz, who is seen putting Hitler to death. Von Metz is now running for chancellor of West Germany. If this film gets out, his political career is finished, so Von Metz has arranged for the murder of anyone who has seen the film. The killings have taken place in the Washington area and Mac and Ellis are sent to investigate the crimes. Mac is a middle-aged veteran of the force, a professional who gets things done.
