Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst major Hollywood studio picture directed by Ron Howard.
- Goofs(at around 52 mins) When Chuck is reading a computer screen showing his and Bill's investments for their prostitution "company", there are multiple spelling errors which aren't due to the screen's limitations. Chuck, being the fussy business type, would never let this happen. There's at least one typo on nine of the eleven lines displayed; they are: "CHUCK & BILLS INVESTMET SERVICE", "Inteest compouded monthl", "Paymnts at endof period", "Annual intrest rate", "Present vaue", "Future vale", "Monthly pament", "The interet rate is 1.46% per monh", and "And the tie period i 12 months".

Featured review
"Get outta town, you two guys?!"- Excellent comedy w/dynamic duo of Winkler & Keaton
NIGHT SHIFT (1982) ***1/2 Henry Winkler, Shelley Long, Michael Keaton, Richard Belzer, Clint Howard. Fast paced and funny black comedy about a prostitution ring run from a NYC morgue and odd couple attendants Winkler and Keaton (in an amazing and hysterical film debut) as their pimps. Great dialogue and sharp direction by Ron Howard in this, his first big-budgeted directorial debut*. Look sharply for Kevin Costner as a frat boy in the morgue party scene. Best line: Keaton's Billy Blazejowski: "Is this a great country or what?!" Interesting note: closing song "That's What Friends Are For" sung by Rod Stewart is the same song later sung by Elton John & co. for AIDS benefit proceeds. * I know... Howard directed previously "Grand Theft Auto" for Roger Corman, so lighten up , Francis!
