THE DARK BACKWARD

With Judd Nelson, Bill Paxton, Wayne Newton, James Caan, Lara Flynn Boyle
Directed by Adam Rifkin

This weird tale of a failed comedian who has an arm grow from his back is filled with strange and funny moments as this poor guy tires to carve a place in the sun for himself. Newton and Caan are pretty funny. One of the few interesting films from ex-brat packer Nelson since
The Breakfast Club. Rifkin went on to make the mockumentary Welcome To Hollywood and the Kiss themed movie Detroit Rock City.
