A 1997 comedy film starring [[The Kids in The Hall|Dave Foley]], Jennifer Tilly, David Anthony Higgins and Colm Feore.
Line 7:
Unfortunately, the film only received a theatrical release in Canada, and it was only released direct-to-video in the U.S. Thus, not many people have seen it. However, it's well worth tracking down, as it [[Needs More Love]], big time.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Nelson is constantly mistaken for a woman, a role David Foley played frequently (and convincingly) on ''[[The Kids in The Hall]]''.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: How the killer escapes the scene of Nelson's boss's murder. His escape is caught on security cameras, and Detective Arlen makes a point to mention how impressive his escape was to other people.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: Nelson discovering his boss's dead body is essentially 3 minutes of Dave Foley screaming and trying wipe his boss's blood off himself. Another Overly-Long Gag: Nelson trying to check into the motel.
