[edit] Plot
The film revolves around A-List actress "Honey Whitlock" (Melanie Griffith), whose public persona is that of a sweet and considerate woman, but who in reality is demanding and mean. Whitlock is kidnapped by the manic title character (Stephen Dorff) and his band of misfit artists who have branded themselves "kamikaze filmmakers." They run around filming movie scenes at real (unapproved) locations, often involving innocent bystanders in the process. They force Honey to star in their new project. After filming in a few locations, she eventually accepts the idea of real cinema and joins Cecil, and his motley crew.
The film is loosely based on events in the life of Patty Hearst, who also has a cameo in the film.
[edit] Trivia
- The film, like many Waters' films, is shot in Baltimore, Maryland.
