Loose Cannons is a 1990 American action comedy film written by Richard Matheson, Richard Christian Matheson and Bob Clark, who also directed the film. The film stars Gene Hackman as a hard-nosed cop who is teamed up with a detective with multiple personality disorder, played by Dan Aykroyd, to uncover a long-lost Nazi sex tape, featuring Adolf Hitler, which would jeopardize the political future of the West German chancellor-elect. The theme song features vocals by Katey Sagal and Aykroyd.
Upon release by Tri-Star Pictures on February 9, 1990, the film was a critical and financial bomb, bringing in only $5.5 million worldwide on a $15 million budget.
