Questions about Movies/A song from the move Double Take

Advertisement


Question
There is a scene from double take where Freddie Griffith and Orlando (can't remember the last name) are dancing at a gas station to a song. It sounds Run-DMC like.  I have searched everywhere and cannot find the name of the song or artist.  Could you please help?

Answer
I've done my best to forget that movie, a watered-down remake of "Midnight Run," which was much better.  But here is the soundtrack listing, so see if this is what you are thinking of (and it's Orlando Jones, by the way).  I hope this helps!

Movies, especially classic movies, current movies, family movies, and movies for families.

Experience

I am the movie critic for Beliefnet and radio stations across the country. I have written about movies for USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times, Parents, Family Fun, Child, Slate, and Daughters. I am the weekly movie critic for radio stations across the US and in Canada and write weekly parental advisories for the Chicago Sun-Times and the Kansas City Star. I have appeared on Fox Morning News, the ABC Evening News, CBS This Morning, and NPR, and been profiled in the NY Times, Washingtonian, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune. My book, The Movie Mom's Guide to Family Movies, was published by Avon in April 1999 and is now in its second edition. I can answer questions about movies for special interests, especially family concerns, handling questions from kids like "What do I do when he says everyone else has seen it?" to "My daughter got nightmares from a movie --how can I help her?" or "Why does my child want to see the DVD over and over?" to "What's the deal with Pokemon?" I am pretty good with trivia questions about movies, too, not as good with made-for-TV movies or miniseries. And I don't know much about horror/slasher films, sorry.
