Have you noticed that there are movies who use the formula of putting together a scientist and a tough guy? You can see this formula used in movies like Stargate, Independence Day, or Godzilla (1998) as examples. Personally I like this formula a lot, because it combines cool action with scientific explanations. What about you? Do you like this formula? What's your favorite film?

I like this format a lot, especially because it allows for that cool factor of an older star, who may have been known for action in his day, playing the more passive scientist/expert role. It's certainly a stretch to include "Red" in this scenario, but this same spirit of storytelling is why we get a broken-in Bruce Willis with an upcoming Karl Urban. Makes the whole thing fun.
The old guard passing the torch to the new guys, while still showing they can kick ass (action/science/whatever). You can toss a veteran into a less tough-guy role (which could be more believable because of age) but still have them kick some ass, while a young buck does the heavy duty brawling. I love movies where similar actors from different generations get the chance to team up.
"Independence Day" is my favorite as a direct analogy of scientist/tough guy. You can get a lot of fun and unexpected chemistry in this situation.
