CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In a restaurant, Bowfinger (Steve Martin) plants himself next to Jerry Renfro (Robert Downey Jr.) in an effort to try and get his movie financed.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A group of wanna-be filmmakers and actors concocts a scheme to make a movie with a major star without having to pay him in this comedy. Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) has struggled for years to make it in Hollywood with no real success; he's convinced that he has to make his big break soon or it will be too late. Bobby has a script, and he has a cast, including an ingenue straight off the bus from Ohio (Heather Graham), a one-time regional stage star who fondly recalls her brief moment of glory (Christine Baranski), and a hunky aspiring matinee idol (Kohl Sudduth). He also has a young associate named Dave (Jamie Kennedy), who has a low-level job at a movie studio as a gofer -- which means that he has keys to every part of the lot and can "borrow" whatever they need. All they need is a star, but without any money, how do they get one? Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) is a leading action star, and he is obviously beyond Bowfinger's budget. But Bobby has an idea: what if he tricked Kit into appearing in the film without his knowing it? Steve Martin also wrote the film's screenplay, and former Muppets performer Frank Oz directs.

"I just saw the poster" Love that line

[@SuperStrik9]

When you first notice the phone chord just hanging there LMAO! Steve Martin has incredible timing!

[@BrianSmithNow]

Robert Downey, Jr. is so good in this scene as "that Hollywood guy." He would've fit in "American Psycho."

[@jculver1674]

This is actually some clever satire - it's basically pointing out that Hollywood producers will greenlight any garbage script that comes their way without bothering to read it, as long as they can get a star attached to it.

[@taylorgallion2748]

ya it's a great satire. I was a kid when it came out i didnt get it 100% but it I still enjoyed it. great cast.

[@larrote6467]

he was just playing along with him

[@BMPK]

@@larrote6467 everything is about hollywood right XD

[@deplorableaussie6749]

Celebrities know better

[@winwoodlabsinc3113]

I'd actually completely forgotten Downey Jr. was in that movie! It was one of the best comedies of that decade!

[@houseofshuffles449]

Robert Downey Jnr spent more time analyzing the story than Disney did with the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

[@ForceMaximus84]

It’s the Disney Trilogy. Nothing about it suggests an actual sequel.

[@reggie6429]

This film is Butta! Butta! This stuff is butta. It's a - it's a - it's a - it's - it's - it's all good! It's a jiggy baby.

[@HypnoSwag]

This was my introduction to RDJ when I saw this in theaters.

[@SuperStrik9]

I love this movie. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy were hilarious in it.

[@johnnyc2639]

Too bad Iron Man didn't say, "Gotcha Suckaaaas" before the snap. 😂

[@rickyp1494]

We need a deep fake of that right now

[@Silly_Illidan]

He did... In the Disney cut... When we realise we paid more to see less

[@stuvs830]

He's torn the car cell phone loose right before this scene. That tuft of hair was a clip-on ponytail that he ditched. This is an excellent movie for all the side stuff that goes on in it. Another running gag are the Mexican day laborers as film crew who are seen to snap into their roles and become a polished production crew of auteurs.

[@TwwIX]

"Got a bad line there?"

[@MissJazzDaFunk]

I watched it with my husband since he’s never seen it, and I find the illegal Mexicans becoming a skilled film crew to be hilarious yet also wholesome.

[@muhamadfirdaus2069]

90s wireless telephone 😂

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

"Steve Martin's brilliant.... That man's an artist." -- Richard Pryor

[@ThePhilosopher-ww6jt]

When this movie was made Steve Martin was a way bigger star than Robert Downey Jr. My how the tables have turned.

[@ricarleite]

Robert Downey Jr was in a all time low, it was actually a joke having him in that role. Yeah, one tiny Marvel film does wonders...

[@sanitary103]

true but Steve Martin is very well respected in Hollywood and especially in the comedy genre.

[@dejstoney]

ricarleite Marvel isn't TINY, pal.

[@Rodrigoteacher]

Age matters! Steve is more than 70 years old.

[@Simple1Jack]

@Bill Patrick Jones - Come on, let’s not pretend that the late 90’s/early 2000’s were some kind of “golden age” of movies... Godzilla, Battlefield Earth, Wild Wild West, Batman & Robin, Gigli, Pearl Harbor, Catwoman, etc etc...

[@malachirobinson5871]

I forgot Robert Downey Jr. was in this movie. Am I the only one who forgot he was in this movie?

[@Metzger23]

No you're not. Lol

[@chava680215]

Me too! Until I saw the list on RT

[@radi2986]

This was during his post prison phase

[@cjhepburn7406]

Reason no one remembers it was pre Tropical Thunder...

[@waterpenny6907]

He was the young hotshot producer

[@stevehorne6049]

One of the funniest movies a lot of folks haven’t seen.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

This movie is Steve Martin’s masterpiece.

[@SuperChuckRaney]

you bring me this script AND Kit Ramsey, a Large Pepperoni Pizza, 2 kilos of coke and a Iron Suit that flies and you got yourself a GO MOVIE.

[@SaturnBoy87]

don't forget an American cheeseburger

[@jerryirick8953]

Steve Martin just handed Tony Stark some good luck feathers😂.

[@313hub3]

"Hey tony how are you "😂 (TONY STARK)💖

[@wsjustice]

This movie is the perfect mix of smart and stupid comedy.

[@mspinkytee]

How can they not start the scene from when he snatches off his clip on ponytail. That was hilarious!

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

exactly! and rdj final face reaction! lol

[@MichaelGallant-ep9jn]

How can they not start the scene where he tears the phone out of the car he "borrowed."

[@Pingaheimer]

you don't put me on hold, i put u on hold. U put me on hold u're a dead man.

[@velvetbees]

Somebody who knew the beautiful Anne Heche said the character Heather Graham played was based on her. Steve Martin once dated Anne. It's too bad her life ended in such tragedy.

[@moviebuff3000]

I kinda like the irony now that like 10 years after this RDJ basically got to the level of Kit Ramsay.

[@facundobaldivia1914]

Not really. Robert is successful on Marvel, but The Judge and especially Doolittle were box office flop.

[@peterfrank3365]

"Gotcha suckaz..."

[@crownborn]

There should be a sequel to Bowfinger and here's the cast: Steve Martin Eddie Murphy Robert Downey Jr. Heather Graham Octavia Spencer and Tom Cruise as Lew Grossman Btw Tom and Octavia get it on. C'mon Hollywood.

[@westingtyler1]

the Tropic Thunder cinematic universe? sounds awesome. I'd also throw in the characters from America's Sweethearts, because they deal with similar ridiculous sleazy subject matter. Les Grossman is great.

[@Freddyfrm18]

"You don't put me on hold I put you on hold" LMAO

[@rogerkincaid931]

I miss seeing Steve Martin in movies...

[@lawrencealcantara]

can't stop staring at that phone wire o_o

[@jonathanfunnell4167]

I LOVE FRANK OZ WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL

[@LaBiblia802]

We need an international star, how about Kit Ramsey? Jajajajajajajaja..... Robert Downey Jr face gestures over this scene are hilarious. This is so funny...

[@JustineCarissa]

I loved this scene. It was hilarious!

[@Locadel2003]

Underrated movie

[@StephenPhillips]

3 people are not getting into a bidding war with Fathasethabeb.

[@SuperChuckRaney]

I played with that guy once man, he doesn't know ANY tunes.

[@AmanSS890]

[@AmirA-zv6uk]

Can't fake it when they all know each other.

[@traintrack3761]

RDJ looks very different without the Tony Stark beard 😅

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It’s too bad RDJ will never make a movie like this again.

[@BMPK]

he made this movie?

[@PeteAmachree]

Never gets old

[@bijibadness]

LOOK ITS IRON MAN AND THE JERK HOW AMAZINGLY CLEVER I AM TO FIND TWO THINGS I KNOW ABOUT TWO PEOPLE IN A SCENE TOGETHER LOL

[@bijibadness]

OH AND LOOK THE FAKE MAN ON FAKE PHONE CALL WITH STEVE MARTIN EVEN NAMED "TONY" LIKE TONY STARK AMAZING LOL

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

…Are you okay?

[@BassHeadsProduction]

Is Jerry Renfro ( RDJ’s character) based on a real life movie producer? or just producers in general?

[@carinrobinson]

I used to work in the restaurant I was there when they filmed it too

[@ElderScrolls7]

Just occurred to me after all these years how he’s a bit like Kramer in this scene.

[@tramainecampbell591]

It's hard to believe Robert Downey Jr was on drugs at this point

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

Literally in this scene.

[@Mortyoppenheim]

I get very comfortable

[@TimeyWimeyBanana]

That's a cell phone?!.....:P

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

[@sethbangard5194]

Peter Frank it's a comedy movie that's the joke

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

they did!! the very last moment!!

[@denimchicken104]

They did notice. They thought it was funny so they played along.

[@hieloluna]

RDJ clearly saw it and pointed it out and shook his head. Then he sarcastically said later to Steve “Oh you got a bad line there?”

[@clareb1565]

Jeez

[@tijoseph123]

super

[@Reggie2000]

RDJ is a nobody at this time in Hollyweird. A washed up sometimes junkie. This was totally a rent is due role. And he nailed it! What a pro!

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Someone pretending to talk to someone into a dead phone is never not funny.

[@kristopherjones734]

STEVE MARTIN *"BOWFINGER"* with ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

[@BMPK]

you mean With Eddie Murphy

[@jonathanmendoza2319]

It's Tony Stark/Iron Man!!!!!

[@johnchessant3012]

Iron Man??

[@Ilovemovies917]

Movie was made in 1999. The iPhone's were not invented yet.

[@FriendZone75]

Mike D What's your point?

[@AnimeWars2002]

Honestly Bowfinger couldn't really be made the same way today. Or at least the initial setbacks. Sure if he wanted it in a movie theater, he'd need to work with a distributor. But many other things he wouldn't have had too much trouble with. He could get a Red One(or cheaper but really good digital cameras). Use KZbin/Vimeo to host the film. Modern software would give him nearly the same tools for editing. Wouldn't need to buy film. It's funny how this movie came out just before anyone could go shoot their own tv show or movie and upload it.Bypassing all the Hollywood nonsense.

[@SuperChuckRaney]

But you still need Kit Ramsey in it.
