PRAYING FOR DOLLARS-”Night Patrol,” the new comedy from New World Pictures, has a lot of people rooting for big box office: the more than 70 creditors of its producer, Bill Osco, and its co-producer and director, Jackie Kong.

Osco, whose past credits include the soft-porn “Alice in Wonderland,” and wife Kong filed for voluntary bankruptcy last July in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho in Boise.

According to court documents, creditors include the Internal Revenue Service ($200,000), MGM Labs in Culver City ($75,000 for lab services done in 1979 on “Cheerleaders Wild Weekend”), the Century City law firm of Bushkin, Gaims & Gaines ($42,781.18), and the Union Pacific Railroad ($7,500 for the rental of a train used during the couple’s location shooting in Idaho on their last film, “The Being”).

“We are definitely interested in and aware of the opening of ‘Night Patrol,’ ” said Kelly Beeman, president of Trustees Services Corp., the court-appointed trustee representing creditors.

Beeman said from Boise that the bankruptcy involves “about 12 to 15 separate bank accounts, all interconnected. . . . It’s like throwing 20,000 checks into a bag and trying to sort them all out.”
