Serrano Took The Disks - "Midnight Run" Quiz


This may well be one of the best and most unappreciated movies of all time. It's also an indication that DeNiro should have gotten into comedy long ago.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the drug dealer who ran Jack Walsh out of Chicago?

Answer: Jimmy Serrano

DeNiro played a down on his luck bounty hunter named Jack Walsh who must find and bring back mafia accountant Jonathan Mardukas - played by Charles Grodin.
Jimmy Serrano, the main villain, had ten million dollars embezzled from him by the do-gooder accountant, Jonathan Mardukas, also known as The Duke. While in the boxcar, The Duke deduced that Serrano was the drug dealer who cost Jack his job as a Chicago cop. Ironically, Dennis Farina, who played Serrano, was once a Chicago police officer in real life.
2. What food did Dorfla's prisoner ask if he could have some of?

Answer: French Fries

When Eddie, the bail bondsman called on Marvin Dorfler, the rival bounty hunter, to join in the search for The Duke, Dorfler's prisoner asked "Can I at least have some French Fries?"
John Ashton played the character of Marvin Dorfler. You may have also recognized him from another Martin Brest movie, "Beverly Hills Cop". He played Sergeant Taggert.
3. Marvin Dorfler had a prisoner chained to the radiator in his hotel room. What was Marvin's prisoner's name?

Answer: Carmine

Carmine was chained to the radiator in Marvin's Pittsburgh motel room when Eddie called to get Marvin to go after The Duke. Marvin, upon hearing the news, told Carmine "It's your lucky day." We can only assume Marvin let him go. Carmine was played by Frank Pesce, another "Beverly Hills Cop" cast member. Pesce reprised the same role in "Beverly Hills Cop 2".
4. Agent Mosley and Jack had a running joke throughout the film involving stolen sunglasses. What was the name the Jack called him because of it?

Answer: Agent Foster Grant

The FBI agent in charge of finding The Duke was Alonzo Mosley played by Yaphet Kotto. The inside joke began when the FBI agent first confronted Jack with the fact that he might be looking for The Duke. Jack remarked about all the agents wearing the same sunglasses and put on his own to mock the group. Mosley became upset and Jack couldn't pass up the opportunity to keep the heat on the ongoing gag; even going so far as to place a pair of sunglasses in an FBI car he stole to make a getaway.
5. In the scene where Jack and The Duke posed as FBI agents to steal "counterfeit" money from a bar, the owner identified himself as "Red". How did he get this nickname?

Answer: It was short for Redwood

In this scene, Jack and The Duke had no money and ran a scam on the owner of a local bar. After "confiscating" some of the "bad" bills, The Duke went to thank the bar owner, who identified himself as "Red," but had brown hair. "Do you dye your hair?" The Duke asked with a puzzled look. "It's short for Redwood," Red replied.
6. The director, Martin Brest, made an uncredited appearance in the film. Who did he play?

Answer: An airline ticket agent

Brest appeared as an airline agent at the airport in Las Vegas. He had a great exchange with Marvin Dorfler. Dorfler was smoking a cigarette when the ticket agent asked him "Will that be smoking or non?" To which Dorfler replied "Take a wild guess." Brest also appeared in the first "Beverly Hills Cop" movie as a hotel desk clerk.
7. With what instrument did Serrano threaten to stab Joey and Tony, his two henchman, who were chasing Jack and The Duke across the country?

Answer: A pencil

Dennis Farina gave a great performance as Jimmy Serrano, the mobster from whom The Duke ripped off millions.
Serrano quipped this legendary line about the pencil after Joey and Tony had repeatedly lost Jack and The Duke. The fork was from another all time underrated favorite of mine, "Grosse Pointe Blank". John Cusak sublimely remarked "I killed the President of Paraguay with a fork. How have you been?"
8. One of Serrano's high level associates, Sidney, became very nervous with the way Serrano was handling things. Serrano told him to relax and what?

Answer: Have a sandwich and a glass of milk.

"Send someone with a cash offer." Sidney advised Serrano on how to deal with his negotiations, but Serrano wanted to do it his way. "Relax Sidney. Have a sandwich. Have a glass of milk." Serrano told him. Milk was not exactly what you would think a mobster would prefer, but in the end, Sidney was right to be concerned.
Sidney was played by veteran character actor, Philip Baker Hall, who also appeared in "The Rock", "Air Force One" and "Boogie Nights", just to name a few of his movies.
9. When Jack complained to Eddie that finding The Duke was worth more money, Eddie told him that all he would need to do with him was put him in a bag and hit him with what?

Answer: A rubber hose

"This guy's not gonna shoot at you. Just put him in a bag. Hit him with a rubber hose and bring him back." Eddie told Jack to try to assure him "It's an easy gig; a midnight run." - hence, the title of the film. A popular urban myth is that police sometimes beat confessions out of a suspect with a phone book because it won't leave any marks. Unfortunately that's just not true.
10. What was Eddie, the bail bondsman's last name?

Answer: Moscone

Played by the ever talented, Joe Pantoliano, Eddie Moscone was an intriguing character who kept thousands of dollars rolled up in his cute, striped tube socks. We saw this when he paid Jack for his latest capture at the beginning of the film. Pantoliano, a veteran character actor was also known to close friends on the set of the Sopranos as "Joey Pants".
