An Original Vintage Unfolded Single-Sided Video Rental Store One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26" x 40") (Learn More) An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, the 1998 Arthur Hiller (billed as "Alan Smithee"; see below) mockumentary comedy ("The movie Hollywood doesn't want you to see."; about a rookie director actually named "Alan Smithee", who is given a terrible movie to make; the movie is filled with cameos by famous celebrities as themselves) starring Ryan O'Neal, Coolio, Chuck D, Richard Jeni, Eric Idle ("as Alan Smithee"), with "Special apperances by" Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jackie Chan. The movie was originally directed by Arthur Hiller, but the screenplay was by Joe Eszterhas. Eszterhas didn't like Hiller's final cut of the movie, and he created his own version, and when the studio sided with Eszterhas over Hiller, Hiller had his name removed from the credits, and it was replaced with "Alan Smithee", which is a pseudonym that is used whenever a director or screenwriter asks that their name NOT be used, and they replace that name with this (this had been done many times in the past). But this outraged the Director's Guild of America and they "unregistered" the name "Alan Smithee", and this is the last film that will ever have that credit. Finally, note that at one point in the movie, the character Alan Smithee says that the film he is making is "worse than Showgirls" (and of course, that was the legendary bomb that Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter, had himself written!).

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 26" x 40" and that it is for the video release of this movie, not the theatrical release. Condition: good to very good.
