That shake of his head had me ON THE FLOOR when I saw this in the theater. I was disappointed that this movie didn't do better than it did as it was hilarious, entertaining to the max and also - rare for this type of movie - has a surprising amount of heart too. One of my favorite movies from the eighties, and that's saying a lot because there were a LOT of awesome movies in that decade!
@@eltravo2112 100% agree. I watch it several times a year. It was really DeNiro's first foray into comedy and I think he killed it. Script-writing is just brilliant. Grodin is amazing throughout as well.
I always laughed at the head shake from DeNiro to Grodin after he says he's going to shoot him and dump him in the swamp. Just to set his mind at ease.
Great scene. I also love when Eddie loses it later on in the movie on the phone ""He's telling me to go fuck myself! You're telling me to go fuck myself! Everyone is telling me to go fuck myself!" lol
"Listen to me, Jack! You got to be back here in less than two f*cking days! A half million dollars of my money! What the f*ck is goin' on there!!!?" Perhaps the best "curse" dialog line I've ever heard in an american movie. Joey Pants rocks :)
Joey Pants is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood (or well, when he's in Hollywood which is hardly ever anymore ; good for him). I've met him, I wrote him a letter and he gave me a call, told me to call him any time. He started a non-profit to help people with mental illness. He's active on his Instagram talking to his followers like friends, such a great human being. And obviously an incredible actor to play the assholes that he does! lol
Good catch! Or how bout when his assistant Jerry is about to light a cigarette then smacks down his lighter and cig when DeNiro calls, but then when he tells Joey whos on the line he's got a lit cig in his hand that looks like its been burning a while just a split second later.
this has gotta he one of my favorite scenes in Midnight Run- it has so many good lines that I use personally today such as “did it ever occur to you that I am a professional and that I might have my reasons?” So long everybody!
I love when Eddie loses his shit on the phone later in the movie "He's telling me to go fuck myself! You're telling me to go fuck myself! Everyone is telling me to go fuck myself!!!"
This is one of the flicks you need to see in a theater. And it's not because of special effects for flicks like Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's because funny scenes get amplified when the entire theater erupts with laughter. Threatening to dump him in a swamp was one them.
At 1.40 Joey pants is ready to explode...the whole place stops and looks at him.... and at the end of the screaming match with deniro he just says a quiet yes.... brilliant
this is an under-appreciated flic that sports an excellent cast and is LOL funny... one of my all-time favorites and not because I live near Casper WY and that I'm standing in the lobby of a Howard Johnson's wearing a pink carnation...
Whenever I make a phone call I want to say ‘Jerry, it’s Jack, put Eddie on the phone’ but my name’s not Jack and I’m never calling Jerry or Eddie so it doesn’t work.
This may happen to be the best part of the movie that I like. When he says that he's going to shoot him and dump him in the swamp and then he looks at him and shakes his head no. That is incredible acting.
Well, Sherlock Holmes..(no disrespect to SH) he was great. You aren't. With a collect call they first confirm if the receiver wants to take the call. Then they connect the caller to the receiver. It does take some time and that time is more than enough to light a god damn cigarette and start smoking.
The director of this movie (Martin Brest) made a number of absolutely wonderful movies, then quit the biz after "Gigli" got panned. Not even his fault.
@@ayokay123 All the RUclips videos of directors that got banned or blacklisted from bad movies . Brest did Gigli and got all the blame for it instead of Bennifer .

''I will shoot him and I will dump him in a fuckin' swamp'' *shakes his head off reassuringly*
One of the best scenes ever!
So good. Hahaha.
Every mobster shakes their head to reassure you, right before they whack you.
That line, Grodin's shock, De Niro's head shake... absolute 100% gold. Perfect in every way. Doesn't get better than that.

Deniro wasn’t a mobster in this.
I don't think most people get that Midnight Run is one of the funniest movies of the 1980s.
Truth 👍👍
Yeah, too bad that senility is setting in and turning De Niro into a world-class douche bag, then again, he is just another Hollywood hack.
It still stands up as one of the most hilarious films in 2020

I've been watching this movie more than 100 times and I don't get tired of it
This could possibly be top 5 of the greatest movies comedy of all times

Lol after all these years I still think of that scene.
Their friendship is growing
Mainly relax never it's not gonna happen, that's the meaning of his nodding
the way he begrudgingly cares about charles grodin's character and grodin's character cares about him is what sets this film apart
Brilliant writing and sublime acting from all of the blokes in this superb film.
Great scene. I also love when Eddie loses it later on in the movie on the phone ""He's telling me to go fuck myself! You're telling me to go fuck myself! Everyone is telling me to go fuck myself!" lol
Absolutely! I was hoping that would be in this clip. It's got to be one of the funniest moments in cinema history!
"...He doesn't like to fly? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!"
🤣😂🤣
Just hilarious, especially when you hear it over a telephone speaker makes it even funnier.
Listen to me jack you need to be here less than two and half fucking days A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS OF MY MONEY WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE 😂😂😂😂😂
@@inaamishtiaq6322. Hilarious. Half the market is looking at him.😆😆
@@nickstojanovic8868😂😂😂😂😂
"I'm in Casper, Wyoming. I'm in the lobby of a Howard Johnson's and I'm wearing a pink carnation." Probably the most hilarious movie line ever.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the other guys
What other guys 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So long everybody
I've actually been to Casper, Wyoming and its a nice little town. Everyone was friendly.
Yep, it exists, it's $85 a night. Bring your own carnation.
"Is this moron #1? Put moron #2 on the phone."
2:01 Joey Pants acting through a blooper like a pro!
Joey Pants 👖 was yelling so loud even the crowd extras in the mall were looking at him😂

Also love how 20 heads turn in the mall when he was yelling
1:46 the assuring nod DeNiro gives Grodin deserved the oscar.
"You got it, Eddie!" "SHIT!"

Hahaha Pantoliano loses his shit and it's the best
And to think Joey almost didn't get this part!
I imagine a movie when he actually doesn't lose his ship but l can't..
He has a funny voice when he gets mad 😡
Love the way Joey catches (and rips) his shirt on the door handle, but they leave it in the film!
And he still doesn't miss a beat! He's as good as they come!
Good catch! Or how bout when his assistant Jerry is about to light a cigarette then smacks down his lighter and cig when DeNiro calls, but then when he tells Joey whos on the line he's got a lit cig in his hand that looks like its been burning a while just a split second later.
I never noticed the shirt rip when he walks into the office. Just brilliant. Such an underrated movie.
this has gotta he one of my favorite scenes in Midnight Run- it has so many good lines that I use personally today such as “did it ever occur to you that I am a professional and that I might have my reasons?” So long everybody!
Bob Builder 😂😂😂
Seen this fifty times and it still makes me laugh soooo hard!!!! :-DDD
+Amiga500_User same here!! classic movie
I know right!! It always made me laugh when Marvin didn’t give f about anything either! Natural comics the lot of them!
I love when Eddie loses his shit on the phone later in the movie "He's telling me to go fuck myself! You're telling me to go fuck myself! Everyone is telling me to go fuck myself!!!"
@@nimit2535 I loved Grodin's blooper in the helicopter scene. Give him a gun Mervin!! lol
An A+ on my Organic Chemistry Fall 1988 midterm….”Am I lucky, or am I just good?” Been paraphrasing Marvin Dorfler and Midnight Run ever since.
They were all great in this film. If I'm down, I put on this film and I forget all my troubles. Brilliant pairing. Could never remake this.
I'm gonna go get some doughnuts...
Such fine actors they conveyed the comedy so well. RIP Charles Grodin.
It’s the actors. It’s always the actors. That’s why they get paid more, they’re just better.
This was the greatest movie
This movie just continues to age beautifully.
Jackstopfuckingaroundwhereareyou? 🤣
Never gets old! Hilarious stuff! De Niro and Grodin are gold!
Love how Jack can go from steaming insane to "business as usual" in a stride.
Italians are good actors,,,respect!!!!!
Such a classic '80s flick.
The late great Dennis Farina contributed so much to this awesome movie.
I laugh my ass off every time I watch my DVD of this movie, and I probably always will.

He doesn't like to fly? What the fuck does that mean?!?!
Joey pants is the absolute best!
One of the best scenes in this movie..
Never. Remake. This. Film.
That just wouldn’t be right, especially with Charles Grodin gone. See you in the next life, Chuck.
Well, there were reports of a remake/sequel featuring Regina Hall that was supposedly definitely underway. Google it.
One of the Greatest Movies! A must see for Everyone!💯💯💯
JackStopFuckingAroundWhereAreYou?
Joey sounds like Steve Buscemi when he yells.
In Italian versions both have the same dubber 😃
By the way this movie has a nice soundtrack.
By *Danny Elfman* of all people!
Easily one of the funniest movies in the last 40 years.
"HE DOESN'T LIKE TO FLY????"
The closest to this was due date....but This is truly funny and classic...brings back memories.
I absolutely LOVED Joey Pants in "Bound". Easily his best role.

no differences at all..

Probably best movie of all time
1:33 Screaming that at the top of his lungs in front of all those people in that public place
great movie.
I drove through Casper Wyoming many years ago ...wonderful country there 🏞🌏
Whenever I make a phone call I want to say ‘Jerry, it’s Jack, put Eddie on the phone’ but my name’s not Jack and I’m never calling Jerry or Eddie so it doesn’t work.
I wish there was a scene where they tell Mosley that Walsh found out he’s been tapped.
His real name is Mosley.
I’m Mosley!
" You got the Duke " ? 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
This may happen to be the best part of the movie that I like. When he says that he's going to shoot him and dump him in the swamp and then he looks at him and shakes his head no. That is incredible acting.

Constipated from sitting on their asses for so long. LOL
