MIDNIGHT RUN 1988
Bob hoped a comedy “might lighten the image I’ve had of heavy dramatic pieces.” He wasn’t box-office gold: King . flopped and the action-hero era was flexing punter-pulling pecs. After Brazil, The Mission, The Untouchables and Angel Heart, he hooked up with Beverly Hills Cop helmer Martin Brest for a comedy-thriller-cum-road movie-cum-buddy movie. He was the straight-man bounty hunter to Charles Grodin’s bail-jumper, brooding like a bull and echoing “Are you talkin’ to me?” in the “Are you proposing?” line.
