Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1997 comedy film directed by Christopher Cain, written by Jill Mazursky-Cody and Jeffrey Abrams (better known now as J. J. Abrams), and starring Joe Pesci and Danny Glover in their only pairing outside of the Lethal Weapon franchise.Joe Waters (Pesci) and Gus Green (Glover) are lifelong friends and fishing enthusiasts. They go on their annual fishing trip together, and whatever can go wrong does go wrong. They soon wind up crossing swords with a dangerous con-man and killer after he steals Joe's prized vintage Barracuda, and they pursue him, leaving comic chaos and destruction in their wake.The film did poorly in theaters, making nearly $20 million on a $53 million budget. The film fared even worse with critics, but has gotten a second life on video.

Disaster Dominoes: While staying at a fancy hotel, a sleepwalking Gus startles Joe, who drops a lit cigar onto his pillow, which starts a fire. He fills a bucket from the bathtub to put it out, which leads to the tub overflowing, which leads to Gus leaving, which leads to Joe following, which leads to the revelation that the fire isn't out completely. That coupled with the gas being left on leads to... well... you know...

Brick Joke: Early in the film, Gus reads an article about alligators describing them as being extremely vengeful and willing to chase the object of their wrath to the ends of the earth. At the end of the film, the alligator the duo beat up can be seen swimming in the New Jersey river they're about to take a dip in.
