Storyline
Director Alan Smithee comes to Hollywood to make a movie. Due to a variety of factors, he decides to disown it and direct it under a pseudonym. Unfortunately, the Director's Guild requires that if a director disowns a movie in this fashion, he *must* use the official Director's Guild pseudonym...which happens to be Alan Smithee.

Trivia
Joe Eszterhas announced through the media during post-production that Cinergi Pictures didn't have the money to pay for soundtrack. He said that he would finance the soundtrack from his own money and asked to submit tracks for it to him. He received 9,200 CDs and cassettes from mostly unknown and unsigned artists, listened to all that was sent (at least a couple of tracks from each record) and compiled the soundtrack.
