Trivia:
The scene where John Mardukas (Charles Grodin) falls off a cliff was shot in the Salt River in Clarkdale, Arizona. However, the conclusion of the scene, the shots of Mardukas and Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) crashing through the river rapids, was shot in New Zealand because the water was too cold in Arizona.

Goofs:
Continuity: When Tony Darvo gives Jack his phone number, he can clearly be seen writing it on a matchbook cover in pencil. Yet when Jack refers to it later, the writing is in blue ink.

One of the smartest, funniest, and exciting buddy pictures ever made. It has never received the wonderful attention it justly deserves. The performances by the two leads (De Niro and Grodin) are wonderful and they get outstanding support from Joe Pantolino, Dennis Farina, and Yaphet Kotto. But what separates this picture from all the other action / comedies ever made is that the screenplay is so sharp and original. Easily my all time favorite movie - you know how I know that? I must have seen "Midnight Run" at least thirty times and every time I see it, it gets better and better. A true film classic and is getting rereleased on DVD in June of 2003.
