Quick Change

Quick Change (1990) is an American crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, co-directed by Bill Murray and Howard Franklin, with Murray also starring alongside Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, Jason Robards, Stanley Tucci, and Phil Hartman. Runtime: 89 minutes.

Grimm walks into a Manhattan bank wearing a clown suit, stages a hostage situation, and walks out with the cash. The plan works flawlessly. What follows does not. Getting out of New York City with the money turns into an increasingly surreal ordeal — wrong buses, missing cabs, confused gangsters, and a city that seems to actively conspire against escape. Every block adds a new problem. The airport might as well be on another planet.

This is Murray's only directorial credit, based on Jay Cronley's novel of the same name. The film had a quiet theatrical run in 1990 but found a devoted audience over time — it's one of the sharpest comedies about New York as a living, chaotic obstacle. Stream Quick Change (1990) online on iFILM.
