Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2000 Black Comedy film by John Waters, starring Stephen Dorff in the title role as deranged "independent director" Cecil B. Demented, the leader of an equally-deranged group of "filmmakers" who call themselves the Sprocket Holes and base themselves in Baltimore, Maryland. Their mission is to bring down mainstream cinema and destroy the studio system of filmmaking to make way for a new generation of film by any means necessary—which includes robbing theaters and stealing things like construction materials and film equipment in order to make their own film.The crazed group just has one minor problem: their film doesn't have a star yet, so they "acquire" one in Hollywood actress Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith), kidnapping her at the premiere of her latest film. Honey continually tries to stop Demented and his comrades-in-celluloid from making their film and secure her release, but when those close to her begin exposing some nasty things about her private life, she starts to turn to their side and get in on the (lights, camera and) action of Demented's insane film making.

Badass Adorable: Raven. She's played by Maggie Gyllenhaal and kicks a fair amount of ass. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Cecil B. Demented / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: A majority of the Sprocket Holes get killed during the film's production, Cecil himself likely dies after setting himself on fire and Honey gets taken into custody; her reputation in Hollywood having gone completely down the drain at this point. But despite that, she seems to have found a new audience with Cecil's fans and the raw footage is sneaked out by surviving Sprocket Holes, ensuring it will eventually be completed and released. | |

Author Tract: In-Universe. The film Cecil forces Honey to make is about his hatred against mainstream cinema. | |

The Big Chick: Raven, oddly enough, being the Boisterous Bruiser/Perky Goth/Cloud Cuckoolander that she is. | |

Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: The Sprocket Holes are a group of guerrilla filmmakers who are willing to resort to kidnapping, torture, destruction of public-property, murder and even martyrdom in order to create a movie meant as an act of protest against American culture and mainstream Hollywood. | |
