"We've Got Tonight"
This film is rated R for mild language, pervasive smoking, and occasional solarized titties. |
|
MovieProducer: We love it, babe, but we're changing the title. We're gonna call it "Shakedown." |
|
LionTaymor: but that compromises my artistic vision |
|
MovieProducer: yeah, but the Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack is a hilarious reference |
