Re: Quick Change Clever, funny, and well acted by everyone. Very good caper in my opinion and the three leads go through some great moments. The Mexican bike fight comes to mind. This is Bill Murray at his best, and the rest of the cast is good and solid throughout. It was a bomb in 1990 when it came out, which is a shame, I believe it was only released in 1000 theaters or so.
Big Recommendation.
Solid A

Re: Quick Change I forgot about Quick Change again!
I was reminded after seeing Bill Murray on Charlie Rose today, and he pointed out it was the only movie he's directed so far (co-directed with Howard Franklin).
It is a strangely underseen movie - - it rarely seems to come on TV or be discussed at all. It is certainly underrated and is really a wonderful heist comedy featuring Geena Davis at her peak and a heap of great actors and comedians (Randy Quaid, Jason Robards, Tony Shalhoub, Phil Hartman, Stanley Tucci, Kurtwood Smith).
I've got to make time to sit down and watch this again before it's 25th anniversary next year.

Re: Quick Change Yes, it is absolutely one of the most underrated comedies of the 90s, especially in Murray's case. It also has some real tension at times like the scene as simple as getting change for a bus. Another note is that I believe police officers had to change the way they handled bank robberies after this film (With the detaining of all hostages until the situation is contained)
Mad Dog And Glory is another really great showcase for Murray's early dramatic moments as well.
A cheap buy at any FYE, you can probably get it for $5
