About this product

Product Information

This slick adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1990 novel features John Travolta as Chili Palmer, a Miami loan shark who's been sent to L.A. to collect on a bad debt from trash movie producer Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), the maker of the stunning flops "Grotesque" and "Slime People." But this is Harry's lucky day, because Chili is also a film buff, and when he's done talking tough he starts pitching Harry a script idea. As everyone knows, the best background for the motion picture industry is the criminal underworld, and Chili is smoothly launched into the life of a producer: romancing a B-movie scream queen, schmoozing superstars, getting reservations in the hottest restaurants in town. However, Chili's not the only mobster wanting to turn producer. It seems that a thug named Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo), another of Harry's lenders, also wants a piece of the action. Add in a group of angry drug smugglers and there is an abundance of double- and triple-crosses, as well as plenty of wisecracks and Hollywood insider jokes. GET SHORTY crosses the line of life imitating art--and vice versa--many times, including the real Ernest "Chili" Palmer (on whom the character is based) playing a Mafia henchman. Barry Sonnenfeld's entertaining romp is a wild look at the celebrity life in Hollywood, featuring numerous cameos of stars playing themselves.

  • 15 years later this film is still a blast to watch!!!

    I don't know if it's Elmore Leonard who's excellent writing makes this film great or how right John Travolta is for the role. But I just watched this [feb. 2011] and it still is as fresh and fast paced today as it was in 1995 when it came out. It just clicks all the movie goers boxes of all time great films. Pure gangster movie, smart dialog and that true Miami / L. A. style. We follow Chili Palmer as he owns what ever town he's in and owns his audience. The characters he bangs up against are what makes Hollywood Hollywood. The ending, which is fine, is a little out of pace with the excitement of the rest of the film. But this is a film I could watch again. A truly great film in that old Hollywood style. Watch it. **If you found this information at all helpful, please take a moment ...
