Running Scared (1986) is a buddy cop movie directed by Peter Hyams and starring Billy Crystal, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Smits, Darlanne Fluegel, Joe Pantoliano, and Dan Hedaya.Danny Costanzo (Crystal) and Ray Hughes (Hines) are two cowboy cops in Chicago who are after Julio Gonzalez (Smits), a big-time drug dealer. They manage to arrest Gonzalez, but at the cost of scuttling a DEA operation against Gonzalez, and so their boss, Captain Logan (Hedaya) orders them to go on vacation. The two of them end up in Florida, and to their surprise, end up enjoying life there. Danny convinces Ray they should retire there and open up a bar (with the money Danny inherited from his dead aunt Rose). However, when they get back to Chicago to tell the captain they're quitting, they find out Gonzalez is back on the street. They're both determined to arrest Gonzalez again, but Danny's no longer sure he wants to be a Cowboy Cop anymore.Not to be confused with the 2006 action film starring Paul Walker; this is more of an action comedy. | |

| Running Scared (1986) / int_1f250372 | comment |
I Need a Freaking Drink: Ray says this when he and Danny are in a Florida bar after being forced to go on vacation (this is before they start to enjoy the place). Also, in a Meaningful Echo later, when Danny is trying to convince Ray they should retire and open a bar together, Ray says again he needs a drink, to which Danny responds, "We all need drinks!" | |

Flipping the Bird | |
| Running Scared (1986) / int_364b9be6 | comment |
Flipping the Bird: While Danny interrogates a tenant of Julio's, her grandson, behind her, flips Ray off several times, which pisses him off. After Danny finally gets the information he needs, he closes the door, but Ray knocks on the door again, and when the kid answers, Ray flips the kid off with both hands. Danny does this to one of his co-workers later in the movie when he and Ray walk into the station without their pants and hears a wolf whistle. | |

Mood Whiplash: In-universe; Danny and Ray are cracking wise about the murder victim they drove by at the beginning of the film, until Captain Logan informs them the victim was a police officer, after which they become serious: Though afterwards, they crack wise again with Snake (see Police Lineup below). | |

Follow That Car: At one point, Danny and Ray get their car changed to look like a taxi. When they go to the airport when the department seizes a shipment of drugs (that turns out to be fake), they spot Gonzalez greeting a priest and a nun, and realize Gonzalez must have smuggled the drugs through them. When Gonzalez spots Danny and Ray pursuing him, he abandons the priest and the nun and takes off in his limo. Ray pulls up in the cab, the priest and nun get in, and Danny, pretending to be a passenger, yells out in an accent, "Follow that car!" | |

The Alleged Car: Ray's and Danny's unmarked police car is beat-up and rickety (and gets "unmarked police car" spray-painted by goons at one point). When it gets repainted to look like a taxi cab and fitted with bulletproof glass, the windows don't open (this one becomes a bit more of an issue than expected later on). | |
