Get Shorty
Today we are talking about the 1995 Barry Sonnefeld film based on the Elmore Leonard novel by the same name, Get Shorty. The film stars John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo and Danny DeVito who also produced the film. The film describes how intertwined the film industry and the mob could be.
Chili Palmer: “Rough business, this movie business. I’m gonna have to go back to loan-sharking just to take a rest.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Seven minutes in before we get our title sequence
- Cameo of Bette Midler and her comment of the wall color
- Mike doesn’t ever remember the rain in LA
- The upside down tracking shot of the plane on approach at LAX
- Rounded top doors – very LA
