How Does Everyone Fell About "Get Shorty"?

True mob movie or not? Good Movie? Acting/Characters? Any Opinions???

mob elements but not a true mob movie. good movie none the less. killer list of actors in it. be cool was also a great sequel.

there was a sequel?

yes the sequel was "be cool" had travolta in it, dwayne "the rock" johnson was gay in it, vince vaughn played a wigger talking pimp, great flick!

for real!?!

yes this is one of the few times im not making smart ass comments google it if u don't believe me!

lol, I believe ya, I was just very suprised that i idn't know that..... Thanks Phat......

Watched it last night, as a matter of fact. Thought it was hilarious. Loved Dennis Farina as Ray "Bones".
Funny as hell.
It was definitely a satire on Hollywood, not a mob pic. It was funny to see Gene Hackman play a total idiot tho.
BTW, don't you think Travolta would play a great straight-up mobster in a serious mafia movie? I wonder why he's never done it before?

He is gonna play John Gotti in a film which is produced by Gotti's son.

Really? Thats great! Its not gonna be a made-for-tv thing, is it?
Thanks for the info, SB...

there's a whole thread about it if you would like to know more about it in the section of the forum. http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=598921#Post598921

Yeah I found it after the fact
Thanks phat
I'm new to this site and am just reading things as I find them

oh ok i wasn't trying to be rude, i understand totally being a new user! i just wanted to try and point u in the right direction, i actually went and re edited the post to put the direct link in there for you to find it easier!

I don't count it as a mob movie, it has 2 mobsters in the whole thing.

Elmore Leonard is a great writer but it never seems to quite translate onto the screen as well. Get Shorty is one of those movies I want to like, I think I should like, but I just don't. Out of Sight is better.
