Quick was the true hero of the 1989 blockbuster hit Harlem Nights.

He was portrayed by Eddie Murphy.

We see his character first in 1918, when he goes to do an errand for Ray, who would go on find, Club Sugar Rays. Though Ray is kinda a jerk to him, with a low patience for kids, Quick manages to save him from a nasty evil gambler known as the Toothless Gambler. He shoots the man as he's about to slice Ray.

20 years later, in 1939, Quick runs Sugar Ray's with Ray himself. When both a brutal cop, Phillip Cantone, and a ruthless gangster, Bugsy Calhoune threaten his business. Quick, along with Ray, devise an awesome scheme to destroy Bugsy and Cantone. In doing this Quick is a true hero. He manages to trick Cantone into coming to a vault, to take him out (by putting him in the vault, locked, to his death). He daringly has Vera lie to Calhoun that they're back at Ray's place, only to set them up to their deaths (with a bomb that goes off killing all of them).
