Rick has spent 15 years in Witness Protection after helping put murderous drug dealers Diggs and Sorenson behind bars. When his former fiancee Marianne (Hawn) thinks she recognizes him at a gas station in Detroit, he knows it's time to move on, before Diggs and Sorenson find him too. Unbeknownst to him, however, his new contact in the FBI is working with the drug dealers, and gives them his location. When they come to Detroit to kill him, Marianne unwittingly saves his life. Now they are both on the run!
I love this movie! I also feel a special attachment to it, since it takes place in the Midwest. (It was filmed in British Columbia, Canada, though, sadly.) But it's supposed to be Michigan, Wisconsin, and Missouri, so that should count for something!
Just a little warning: this isn't the cleanest movie. You see Mel's butt (he was shot in the butt), and there's a sex scene, though you don't see too much.
NOTE: Okay, one thing I always notice and I've never noticed on any other movie before (not that no one else has done this, I've just never noticed before): the credits at the end come from the top and go to the bottom! It's a little weird!
