Factual error: Shelley Long and Bette Midler track down Michael in Tres Cruces, New Mexico. Yet near the end, when they are catching a ride back to town, a town sign reads "Welcome to Tres Crucas". It's unlikely the town would have misspelled its own name.
Outrageous Fortune (1987)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Arthur Hiller
Starring: Bette Midler, Peter Coyote, Shelley Long, Robert Prosky, George Carlin
After Lauren gets ahold of the toxin during the helicopter exchange, she and Sandy must flee to the Four Fingers mesas with Michael in pursuit. Lauren outruns Michael by jumping from finger to finger using the ballet leaps she was so good at in the beginning of the film. Michael keeps up until the last finger, when he jumps short and falls to his death. Lauren waves the vial of toxin over her head as Sandy claps and Frank's buddies cheer. Lauren ends up playing Hamlet (with Sandy as her co-star), and Korzenousky, who is in the audience, says that it was the best Hamlet ever, except for his.
