![]() ![]() As the body is transported to the New York City. They catch him and punish him for not giving them a cut of his prostitution profits by dropping him out a high-rise window. If you do decide to watch this movie, be on the lookout for the single most hilarious scene: Keaton's analysation of the word "prostitute. The movie opens with pimp Franklin ( Julius LeFlore) being chased through the New York City night by gangsters Cleon ( Badja Djola) and Pig ( Richard Belzer ). ![]() If it was just Keaton, it wouldn't work, but Winkler is annoyed at Keaton, we laugh because of it. Winkler "the fonz" is the total opposite of what he was in Happy Days, and therefor a perfect anchor for Keaton. He is an idea man, constantly speaking them into his taperecorder and thus to his morgue co-worker Henry Winkler. ![]() Here he creates what is probably one of the funniest characters I have ever seen in a movie. The story isn't the greatest and Shelly Long has never been an actress I've enjoyed watching but if you only want one reason to see Night Shift, Micheal Keaton is it. After following his career, I went back to one of his first, Night Shift which still has the magic I remember it did when I saw it way back when. He has a way of making lines and scenes memorable even when the script itself is only so-so. Even a film such as Ransom that opened to lukewarm reviews from both audience and critics is still better than your average thriller. Ron Howard has always been a consistantly talented director, never making a bad or even mediocre film. ![]()
