Short description
Charlie Lang is a simple, kindhearted New York City cop. When he realizes he has no money to tip waitress Yvonne Biasi, Lang offers her half the winnings of his lottery ticket. Amazingly, the ticket happens to be a winner, in the sum of $4 million. True to his word, Lang proceeds to share the prize money with Biasi, which infuriates his greedy wife, Muriel. Not content with the arrangement, Muriel begins scheming to take all the money.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on a true story that occurred in New York in March 1984 with waitress Phyllis Penzo and police officer Robert Cunningham.
- The diner building was constructed 'from scratch' in a parking lot. Interior scenes and exterior shots of the building were also filmed there. After filming, the set was dismantled.
- The film was initially supposed to be titled “$2 Million Tip.” Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally intended to play the lead role, but he decided to star with John McTiernan in the action-comedy “Last Action Hero” (1993) instead of working with Andrew Bergman.
