Storyline
Some guys get all the luck, whether they like it or not. Chili Palmer happens to be in Hollywood collecting a gambling debt when he's struck by lightning (not literally). Called a natural for the movie business, he's snagged up by a producer. The rest is history. Written by Joshua Davis <xtnb64a@prodigy.com>

Trivia
Gene Hackman turned down Get Shorty at first because he doesn't usually do comedies. Barry Sonnenfeld said that's exactly the attitude he wanted from him on set. Play it straight and let the audience decide if it's funny. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where Harry is in the emergency room, Doris reveals that Sergeant Randall's first name is Todd. In the next scene, if paused, the text in the article Catlett is reading, says Randall's name is Edward Randall. See more »Crazy Credits
