Running Scared is a 1986 American buddy cop action comedy film shot and directed by Peter Hyams, and written by Gary Devore and Jimmy Huston. It stars Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal as two Chicago police officers who attempt to bring down a drug dealer before they retire.

Production

In 2010, Hyams recalled that he had wanted "to remain earthbound" and desired a comedy that was "not stupid" and where the action was not "mean-spirited or bloody or graphic." MGM's script about retiring New York cops turned into a tale of non-retiring young Chicago cops, offering fresh casting possibilities and a unique city backdrop.

Hines persistently campaigned for his role, proud that the film featured a "black guy [with] sex scenes," deviating from the norm of the black character being devoid of sexuality, as opposed to his white counterpart. He recalled that Hyams was "tough to work with" but that he didn't want to "put the guy down." Crystal, valued for his improvisational skills, contributed "little pearls" to the script, supported by Hines' chemistry.

Filming spanned September 1985 to January 1986 across MGM Studios in Culver City, California, in addition to location work in Key West, and Chicago.
