Gone Fishin' (1997)

Hey, you love those Lethal Weapon movies, right? So how about a movie in a different genre, starring two people who aren't the star of the Lethal Weapon movies? GUARANTEED HIT!

This film is bad, as after this bombed and Lethal Weapon 4 came out the year after, I bet it pretty much prompted Joe Pesci to retire from acting altogether, aside from two occasional appearances in "The Good Shepherd" and "Love Ranch".

 

Also, this is the third movie that Danny Glover and Rosanna Arquette starred in together, the first two were "Silverado" and "Flight of the Intruder".

Jesus fucking christ, I had no idea that this and 8 heads in a duffel bag came out like 2 years after he did Casino. How did he go from starring in one of the best movies ever made to two of the worst in such a fell fucking swoop?

I remember loving this movie as a kid, but even then I knew it was bad. As an adult, I'm amazed that two names like Joe Pesci and Danny Glover would sign on to star in it.

It blew my mind when I saw that JJ Abrams has a writing credit for this movie.
