ut somehow, when the eggs are ready, she magically pours them onto their plates! Obviously, she swaps them when Chuck is talking to her, but who looks at the eggs when Shelley Long brings all that charm to the table?
Shannen Doherty’s character
Here’s another mistake in the film that only those who love details could notice: Shannen Doherty’s character is called ‘Blue Bird,’ but Chuck mistakenly calls her ‘Bluebell.’
Apparently, he confused birds and flowers.
‘The part of my anatomy that he likes.’
While her character Belinda didn’t mind, Shelley Long was not thrilled about walking around in her underwear. ‘For me, when the cameras weren’t rolling, it was hard,’ she admitted.
She also jokingly asked what her husband thought about her walking around in her underwear on Night Shift. ‘He didn’t mind me running around in my underwear — he likes that part of my anatomy,’ she said with a laugh.
A mistake in the subway
Many scenes in Night Shift were, of course, filmed in New York, but the morgue was built on a specially constructed set in Hollywood, California.
Many details were filmed in the Times Square area of Manhattan, New York, such as when Bill finds potential clients at movie theatres and when Chuck, Bill and Belinda run away at the end.
However, a small mistake crept in during filming in the Big Apple.
In one scene, Bill says, ‘This is my stop,’ and gets off the subway, while Chuck stays on. But if you look closely, the sign next to Bill says that the train is running on the Times Square–Grand Central route, which doesn’t make any stops between them.
This is a film that could not have existed with any other cast. The chemistry between Henry Winkler, Shelley Long and Michael Keaton is pure magic, bringing humour, heart and unforgettable moments to life. Night Shift is not just a comedy, it’s a story about unlikely friendships, personal growth and finding connections in the most unexpected places.
