During the filming of a scene where Denise Crosby hits Eddie Murphy in the stomach with a rubber baseball bat prop, Murphy was afraid Crosby would actually hit him instead of stopping about a foot away like all staged movie blows. She demonstrated her control on both Walter Hill and Nick Nolte to assure Murphy, but ended up hitting him anyway during a take.Rewind Archive
Gregory Hines was the first choice to play the Reggie Hammond role but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with Cotton Club, The (1984). He later did another kind of buddy movie in the form of "Running Scared" as well as the military thriller, Off Limits.Rewind Archive
Walter Hill was originally going to name Murphy's character "Willie Biggs." However, Murphy felt the name was too black and wanted something more conservative and Reggie Hammond was born.Rewind Archive
The original script was said to involve two cops minus the help of a convict. One of the reasons the script changed direction was due to Walter Hill first meeting Eddie Murphy during a taping of Saturday Night Live.Next Section: Deleted Scenes
