Tough Guys is a 1986 comedy starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Eli Wallach and Dana Carvey. The movie was directed by Jeff Kanew, who also directed Revenge of the Nerds. Lancaster and Douglas made several films together over the decades, including I Walk Alone (1948), Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), The Devil's Disciple (1959), and Seven Days in May (1964), which fixed the notion of the pair as something of a team in the public's imagination. Douglas was always second-billed under Lancaster in these films but, with the exception of I Walk Alone, in which Douglas played a villain, their roles were more or less the same size. Tough Guys was their final collaboration.
