Summary:
Loan shark Chili Palmer is bored with the business. So when he arrives in LA to collect a debt from down-and-out filmmaker Harry Zimm, Chili talks tough, and then pitches Harry a script idea. Immediately, Chili is swept into the Hollywood scene: He schmoozes film star Martin Weir, romances B-movie queen Karen Flores and even gets reservations at the hottest restaurants in town.
