An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (the onscreen title is simply Burn Hollywood Burn) is a 1997 comedy film and is regarded as one of the worst films of all time, scooping five awards (including Worst Picture) at the 1998 Golden Raspberry Awards. The film had an estimated budget of $10 million and grossed at least $52,850, being that it was only released in 19 theaters.
The film's creation set off a chain of events which would lead the Directors Guild of America to officially discontinue the Alan Smithee credit in 2000. Its plot (about a director attempting to disown a film) eventually described the film's own production; director Arthur Hiller requested that his name be removed after witnessing the final cut of the film by the studio.

Burn Hollywood Burn
A pretty dire movie apart from the occasional delight of Stallone, Jackie Chan and the "Trio" scenes. The rest stinks, and I could never ever like Eric Idle, so annoying. I wish that "Trio" was a real movie. But they'd have needed to cut out Whoopi Goldberg and replace her with someone less annoying.
