Running Scared-1986

Running Scared stars Billy Crystal (Throw Mamma From the Train, The Princess Bride) as Danny Costanzo and Gregory Hines (The Cotton Club, White Nights) as Ray Hughes. Both are Chicago cops heading toward retirement.

However, retirement comes a little early as their boss forces them to go on vacation. Unfortunately for the boss, Costanzo and Hughes want to pool their money to open a bar and retire from the rat race.

With plans in hand, they go back to Chicago. However, those plans are quickly put on hold as one of their purps is released. With a reason to go to work, the duo vows to get one last bad guy off the streets.

Remember the Asian bad guy from all the 80s movies like Big Trouble in Little China? He's here too.

So, why doesn’t crime pay and why can’t these two just leave the work to less tenured colleagues?
