Distributor
20th Century Fox

Director
Jeffrey Reiner

Character
Coldface

Movie Quote
COLD FACE:  I had a Guinee hooker once.  She had a nose ring in one of her titties. 'Course, I guess that wouldn't be a nose ring, would it?

Plot
Coldface and some other Vegas hoodlums have let recently paroled mob jamoke Harry Talbot (Michael Madsen) win a big sedan in a poker game without bothering to tell him that the corpse of a recent mob hit resides in the trunk.  After Madsen splits with the stiff in tow, the hoods learn that the key to a fortune in coke and cash is still sewn up in the dead man's jacket.  Madsen picks up showgirl named Kit Califano (Patricia Arquette), who is actually a mafia princess out to whack the wiseguy who just iced her father.  A madcap road trip kicks into high gear (well, as high as one can get with an automatic transmission) with Coldface and his posse in hot pursuit.  

What Billy Bob Gets To Do
He gets to play poker, drive, wear a really silly straw hat, and gripe about the circulation in his posterior.   

Backstory
Arquette would star with Billy Bob in THE BADGE.  Other Billy Bob repeat offenders include Seymour Cassel (INDECENT PROPOSAL) star Michael Madsen (who was in the TV series THE OUTSIDERS and THE WINNER). Director Jeffrey Reiner is largely a TV auteur, although he did edit the film BASEketball.
