This was billed as the return of Robert Altman, but it was the first I’d heard of him - I hadn’t even seen his ill-fated Popeye. I do remember enjoying it though, and the sheer number of big-name stars popping up was unusual - not something I’d really experienced since The Cannonball Run.

I mean... look at this cast.
Everyone was willing to appear in an Altman movie back then.
Also Whoopi Goldberg is missing on this list!
She is so good as a LA police detective, who is constantly nagging her subordinates because they allegedly misplaced her tampons.
