RUNNING SCARED 1986 - (Billy Crystal/Gregory Hines) - The Best Movie You Never Saw
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 кві 2021
- The eighties were the heyday of the buddy cop movie. The year before LETHAL WEAPON came out and make the genre even more popular, Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines were Chicago cops on the trail of a drug lord (played by Jimmy Smits) in RUNNING SCARED 1986 by director Peter Hyams (2010, CAPRICORN ONE, TIMECOP). While a solid box office hit (there was even talk of a sequel), in the decades that followed RUNNING SCARED would become somewhat obscure. That's too bad as it's a really good cop comedy/action flick, with some terrific set pieces, including an amazing chase along Chicago's EL tracks. And Billy Crystal as an action hero? Hey - NOBODY thought Bob Odenkirk could do It either! Who knew? And it's also the movie that introduced Michael McDonald's "Sweet Freedom"! Join us on this week's The Best Movie You Never Saw as we dig into this underrated gem.

#TheBestMovieYouNeverSaw #RunningScared #BillyCrystal
The scene with the little kid flipping Hines off while Crystal is interrogating his mom is hilarious. I still laugh every time.
My sister and I would joke each with that. Priceless scene
I laughed my ass off at Gregory Hines when he flipped him off back.
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Yesses!!!!
YEEEEAHHH!
I absolutely love this movie. It is so much fun, and entirely underrated.
"I brought donunts."
(sigh) "He brought donuts."
"What you want me to do, cook you up a plate of Ragu™ ?"
@@swanofnutella4734 [ITALIAN NOISES INTENSIFY]
@@swanofnutella4734 sing an opera? Lose a war?
Yeah, I was going to get the other stuff but I always mess up the word. CROISSANT? Yeah, I can't say it so I bought donuts.
I think it was one of the better buddy cop movies. Crystal and Hines obviously had really good chemistry together. The fact that they never did a sequel was a huge shame.
CLASSIC! This movie also had a great Michael McDonald song with Crystal and Hynes in the video. That video sold me on seeing this movie.
That music video baby!
Sweet Freedom. Never seen the movie, but have always loved the song.
The chemistry between these two was the best!
The Sweet Freedom music video seemed to have a mini sequel vibe to it. What if Ray and Danny had retired to Key West to run the bar they bought?
@@kevinnelson66 I always thought the same thing.
Man I watched this like 100 times on VHS tape
@ozymandias nero nulifidian no.
The Michael McDonald classic song are this movie even better than it already is. Very fun and classically gritty film only the 80s could have mustered.
"pointing a gun at a police officer. Can we waste them for that." so good. This film is so underrated. With Beverly Hills cop before and Midnight Run after this film fits right in with those great action comedies. This was an outstanding action comedy. Stakeout is another great action comedy from 1987.
Oh believe me I seen it and I love it til this day oh by the way first to committed 🤗
first to commit to what?
I worked as an Usher when this film was playing back in the 80’s and I can tell you that the audience was cheering, clapping and laughing from the time it started straight through til the end.
It was an extremely underrated crowd pleaser!
Terrific writing - hit songs - and absolutely PERFECT chemistry between Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines made this one of the best Buddy Cop pictures of the Decade.
It’s such a shame that we never got the sequel that we were promised!
I loved this movie in the 80s. After renting it, I immediately went out and bought it on VHS and watched it dozens of times. So many classic lines and scenes! Thank you posting this.
Best film you never saw!? I love this movie it’s a classic!!
I think they are referring to the fact it doesn’t get as much ❤ in the modern day, least as not as much as it should
I loved this movie as a kid in the 80's and Gregory Hines was awesome.
He could have been one of the greatest actors, ever, if he'd chosen to make it his main career, forever, glad that we got what we got, though, really great.
I remembered this movie. It's one of my favorite films from the 80s. Even the theme song from Michael McDonald was memorable.
Gregory and Billy seemed to have great chemistry. I wish they did another film together. RIP Mr. Hines.
They played well off each other. Sweet Freedom is timeless. For the most part, movie has a good soundtrack.
Gregory Hines left us much too soon. Very sad when he passed away.
Yeah gone way too soon.
Anyone seen the tv special of Hine's and Steve Martin tap dancing together. Amazing!!! It's on youtube.
Man Sized Love from Klymaxx 👍
@@flintybraz1 You made me watch the music video. Thanks! How can this song not put you in a good mood.
_Running Scared_ is a staple of weekend feel-good viewing. A close to the heart mini-classic that's just fun to hang out with. And "Sweet Freedom" bangs.
_Outland_ rules. Fits in the _Alien_ / _Blade Runner_ run of films, taking place in the same "universe".
I literally watched this last night on Amazon. Still my favorite of the 80s buddy cop movies.
ah, video rental store memories!
This is a wonderful movie that contains so many quotable lines! The jeopardy scene in the car and the donut scene in the loft are often quoted in my household.
No one expected comedian Billy Crystal to pull off the action role just like you said. Nobody thought Bob Odenkirk could do it either and he did it in spades.
Yeah I love that kinda action casting.
Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker etc. It just seems to work putting comics in action movies.
Well, this film and analyze this and that kind of pulled it off for Billy crystal.
I just watched this for the first time last year. I really liked it. I was surprised how well Crystal fit into an action comedy. I wish he had done more.
It's amazing how good Crystal is in this. While it is a comedy, it's still a very different vehicle than most of his work, showing how diverse his skills actually are.
RIP Gregory Hines - underrated legend
This actually was a pretty solid hit in 1986 ($40 million or so...stuck around quite a while)...I think a lot of folks saw it even in theatres! Great movie!
I know I did!😆
I always remember this movie because the theater was jam-packed on opening weekend. We didn't get there early enough and our group had to split up and me and one buddy got stuck in the very front row. My neck hurt afterwards from looking up, but I thought it was an awesome flick so I went back a couple days later and watched it again. Further back this time.
I absolutely adore this movie. I just watched it again a little while back on Amazon. I loved this movie as a teenager and love it just as much as an adult.
Went to the cinema to see this one remember them showing the music video in the cinemas to promote the film
I still love Stay Tuned so much. That movie is so much fun and completely underrated.
Poor Pam Dawber, I can't imagine what it must be, like, being married to Mark Harmon, for, all of his enduring popularity, I'm at a, loss, to think of a, more, obscenely overrated actor.
@@matthewdaley746 I am pretty sure I've only seen maybe one thing hes ever been in.
@@theaveri He, and, Harry Hamlin, were, named, Sexiest Man Alive, but, for, a few years, were, typecast playing psychopaths, truly scary.
lol as soon i saw jimmi smits, i thought "hey, the guy my mum had a crush on" and then you said "yes, the guy all our mums had a crush on".. damn
One of my favorites growing up
My favorite 80s movie by far. Crystal and Hines, rip, we're great together.
"The Best Movie You Never Saw???" THIS MOVIE KICKS ASS
UM SIR...I saw this in 1989. Even as a young child I can tell you it was glorious!
I watched this movie for the 1st time around 95 in high school. Great movie. I watched it a lot. Crystal and Hines did their thang.
Great 80s movie! Love it!! R.I.P. Gregory Hines...(such an amazing talent!) HILARIOUS & LOADED WITH ACTION & SUSPENSE!!! 👍🙂
We watched this one dozens of times in high school - it was pretty good
One of my absolute faves! My fad and I loved this movie and would quote it incessantly.
This movie is so much better than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it so much. So entertaining the whole way through.
As a kid I couldn’t get enough of this movie
the pay back the money owed before being mugged scene was classic!
This movie is awesome! So many quotable lines. Also the soundtrack rocks.
Very good movie Billy cristal was a big star in the late 80s and early 90s.
Yeah, and, looking back, I really can't explain it, he, was, definitely the weak link of Comic Relief, between, Whoopi Goldberg, and, The, Late, Robin Williams.
Very underrated movie. RIP Gregory Hines.
I saw this movie when it first came out and me and my brothers to this day still quote lines from it
Gregory Hines and the kid giving each other the middle finger as well as Joey Pants' Snake on the cb doing a War Of The Worlds prank will be 2 of the best hilarious scenes
GREAT MOVIE! One of my favorite 80's flicks! My friend & I would quote it so much, but people wouldn't know we were referencing this movie. They just thought we were being goofy. We'd always break into Crystal's, "Ooooh, Noooo..." phone bit, and Hines' double middle-finger "YEEAAAAAASSSSSS!!!" was always the perfect rub! 🖕😀🖕
I loved this movie as a kid. I didn’t realize until now that it was directed by Peter Hyams. I love the scene where Hines flips that kid the bird; it’s the scene I remember most vividly.
Everytime i see one of these "best movies you've never seen", I've always seen them and usually love them!
Just saw this for the first time the other day.
I was just telling my daughter about this movie the other day. She asked why I have never told her before. I replied that she HAD seen it, but maybe didn't remember it, plus it's on the shelf to watch any time. Arrrgh! Kids! That said, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! I still sing "Sweet Freedom" at the top of my lungs when it comes on the radio.
That said, I love remembering how, in 1978, in a stopover in Chicago, I had a chance to see the State Building as a skeleton. Awww, memories.
I saw this in theaters on weekend of release. Definitely underrated. The chemistry between Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines was undeniable. I thought it had a great mix of comedy and action. When it released on VHS I copped it quick. Wish there had been a sequel. I think it would’ve killed.
Watched this so many times on the old VHS, I virtually knew the script verbatim.
At the time I had no idea that Billy Crystal was a stand up comedian, or that Gregory Hines was a champion tap dancer or that Jimmy Smits was a TV Star. Definitely should be more popular than it is!!
One of the best movies and duos of all time.
I saw this movie in the theater opening night in 86. I love this movie!! I watch it every year.
I habe this strange vague memory of this movie, my grandma was a fan of Crystal and we must have watched this one about dozen times back in the day.
I saw this when it came out, and loved it, and it was quite a big movie back then. It stayed in cinemas for a while (I was living in France at the time and the French loved it)
There, was, a sequel planned, that would have taken place in France, it, was, canceled, because, it, was, too similar to Black Rain, among, other, reasons, it, was, for, the best, in the end.
Thank you for giving this Movie some recognition. It is one of my favorite, Cop Buddy Movies. It's fun, has good Action and great Chemistry... Thx.
This is one of those movies that should be much better known. Good movie.
Still one of my all time favorites! Seriously best duo ever!
The L-train scene has one of my favourite dialogue sequences in the movies. "It's not the volts that kill it the amps. How many amps is it? Enough to push a train!"
I just rewatched it today - it remains one of my absolute favorites from the 80's - and the fantastic action scenes would have been very comfortable in a Michael Mann movie and it was every bit as funny as Beverly Hills Cop (which I also will always love).
One of my favorite buddy flicks. I found it on DVD somewhere, so no "Be Kind, Rewind" for me. It took me a while to realize that actor Jon Gries, who played Tony Montoya, twenty years later would portray Benjamin Linus' dad Roger (Workman) Linus on LOST. I loved Billy Crystal's line when Frank and Tony pull out their magnum pistols and Billy says "Dirty Tony" . 👍👍
The greatest cop buddy movie ever made the bad boys before bad boys rip Mr. Hines one of the greatest actors and tap dancers / live performers behind Sammy Davis jr.
Just seeing this clip. One of my all time favourite movies! The fact that they didnt do more action comedies is a crime. Their chemistry is amazing! Too many favorite quotes to list. I still do the dance from the basketball court, say cheeseball lock, and talk of returing to Key West😅😅
I loved Running Scared. The whole scene in Florida was fun - at first they couldn't understand why everyone was watching a sunset. By the end of their time there, they didn't want to leave.
This is one of my favorite movies! I must have watched it 100 times in college.
Stakeout..........Another 80s classic buddy flick........
That film actually made, more, money, than, Lethal Weapon, because, the studio had such, little, faith in it, they, inexplicably, dumped it in March.
As a retired cop this movie is our gold standard the police technical was spot on
An extremely underrated movie. A great film.
Loved this Flic back in the day! It is difficult for a film to balance Action & Comedy, & I think they pulled it off! & the chemistry between Hines & Crystal really was amazing! (Didn't hurt that I had something of a crush on Darlanne Fluegel!)
I remember seeing that movie when it first came out. I enjoyed it. The one scene that sticks out in my memory is when Gregory Hines' love interest in the movie gets out of bed and walks...naked...to the bathroom. Just goes to show where my head was at in my younger days.
One of my favorites
I LOVE this movie. Perfect mix of action and comedy!
One of my favs!
I love these videos. Learned a lot about Peter Hyams. How about doing "The best director you've never heard of" videos? Just a suggestion.
That'd make for a great series.
NOT BAD!
These type of movies i search for. Stuff i missed no one really talks about. Like ALL those b.s. "forgotten movies of the _____" lists never have anything actually forgotten or underground. Love this
Billy Crystal as a action hero and it works.
Yeah, what totally doesn't work is him as a comedian, truly stunned, how, long it took, for, people to finally figure that part out.
@@matthewdaley746 right after he made millions.
@@Lance37a That's the name of the game, make all of the money you can, before, your limitations get exposed, for, all to see, and, he did precisely that, before, reality ensued.
Loved this movie! Loved the soundtrack! Crystal and Hines had such good chemistry
This has been one of my favorite movies for a very long time!
Saw this when it came out. Crystal and Hynes were awesome! I lived in Chicago when they were filming this, during one of the coldest winters there. Anyway, loved this film in spite of the lack of comedy. It worked!
used to love this movie.... been a while, have to watch this again
DO IT!
I love this movie.
Time to reboot it while Billy Crystal is still living R.I.P George Hines. Great film deserves a rewrite and reboot.
I saw this like 3 hours ago. No, it wasn't the first time that I had seen it either. First saw it back when it first came out. My Dad took me, and of course I loved it. Would've loved to have seen a Sequel to this. I still would, even though the guys are so much older now.
Sadly - Hines passed away.
@@JoBloOriginals I had forgotten about the fact that he had died a few years ago.
Totally loved this movie, for some reason I used to love Gregory hines movies
I love this movie! The chemistry is unbelievable
Man, we got spoiled in the 80's with not just great movies in general but buddy cop movies and gritty cop/criminal comedies. And the great thing about the 80's was that they were all rated R. PG13 killed these genre's of film.
Plus, this film did what Lethal Weapon didn't, quit, while, it, was, ahead, Lethal Weapon 2's original script would have ended the franchise, but, Joel Silver's ego, just ruined everything.
Saw this in the theater when it came out. Absolutely one of my favorite buddy cop movies.
Definitely an underrated gem.
Had it on VHS and watched it a million times!!!
I remember watching this movie as a kid, it was great.
I used to love this movie when growing up. Seen it so many times 😃
Love this movie, it's definitely a 80's hidden gem. I recommend anyone to watch it who hasn't seen it. It needs a good Blu-ray version as I'm slowly wearing through my dvd copy. 👍
There’s a decent blu ray out
@@JoBloOriginals I'm in the UK, I'm aware of one in the US but region coding has ruled that out for me. Will keep an eye out! Thx
I loved this movie back in the 80s , its a classic to me, i still love it. Great pairing of Crystal and Hines. I agree Hines should have been a more popular actor.
He could have, but, it, was, more, of a choice, than, circumstance, his, first, love, was, dance, and, remained, so, all during his painfully abbreviated life.
I enjoyed it more than Beverly Hills Cop although some will consider that comment blasphemous
@@bluelivesmatter719 im with you on that,lol
@@bluelivesmatter719 I don't, I always believed that, BHC, was, a solid film whose success built it up to, greater, than, what it actually, was, the two sequels proved it to be a fluke.
@@jimsoutdooradventures2748 Yeah, that, was, another, film that really shouldn't have gotten sequels made, the third film is, literally, reviewed on this very website.
Really enjoyed this movie. I think the action to humour mix was just about right. Midnight Run had the same level of action and humour which I also really enjoyed.
Unjustly forgotten 1980's gem
This is a very entertaining movie, but kinda unbelievable in spots. Still, it's very enjoyable. I saw it at the theater when it first came out. We really enjoyed Greg Hines and Billy Crystal, great performance by both.
I love this movie, must have watched it hundreds of times on vhs.... ❤
The best buddy cop movie EVER MADE!!! Better than 48 Hours for sure.
i love this movie, saw it in theaters as a kid, i tell everyone to watch it, the chemistry of the actors is awesome, i hate no sequal
Underrated for sure. When they toast donuts...it's classic.
Love love love this movie!! There should of been a sequel!
You’re right. They had great chemistry together. I’m surprised that Hines and Crystal never did another movie together.
Running Scared is one of my favorite movies it has action comedy and romance. When the kid stuck up his middle finger at Gregory Hines Gregory Hines stuck up his middle finger back, and Gregory Hines won.
The movie I wished I grew up watching. Unfortunately didn't see it till late 2015. One of my top favorite comfort movies. Ended up moving right on Oakton & Lamon where they were chasing Julio G by the train tracks on Oakton & Skokie.
