In the film, an editor by the name of Alan Smithee (played by Eric Idle ) has been allowed to direct ''Trio'', a big-budget action film starring Sylvester Stallone , Whoopi Goldberg , and Jackie Chan . However, the studio recuts the film, and when Smithee sees the results (which he describes as being "worse than '' Showgirls ''") and realises that he cannot use a pseudonym (because the only one allowed is "Alan Smithee") he steals the film and goes on the run, threatening to burn it. The film was written (and produced, though he wasn't credited for it) by Joe Eszterhas , and directed by Arthur Hiller . However, Hiller objected to the way Eszterhas recut the film. So, as a result, in one of Hollywood's greatest ironies, ''An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn'' is officially directed by Alan Smithee. EXTERNAL LINKS |
