About this movie

Chili Palmer, a cocky and smooth Miami loan shark/obsessive movie buff, is asked by a Las Vegas casino to go to Los Angeles to convince schlocky exploitation-film mogul Harry Zimm to make good on his gambling marker. Once Chili discovers that "I don't think the producer has to know too much," he sees no reason why he shouldn't be getting some of that action as well...and, besides, being a success in the movie business is a piece of cake for those schooled in more traditional criminal pursuits. Based on the 1990 novel by Elmore Leonard

Ratings and reviews

All of his typical tricks (quick edits, music cues, plane shots) are all used to their best, and the ensemble cast pulls off a wonderfully enjoyable comedic farce.

Well if you haven't seen, get ready for old school Vince Vaughn, great job from John Travolta and the Rock doing a solid job for a new actor (at the time). A solid movie with lots of laughs

Absolute Gold movie classic. John Travoltas prescence dominates every scene he's in, just love him in this. Fantastic cast especially Dennis Farina playing yet another mob guy for all he's worth. Great fun from start to finish.
