Storyline
Streetwise mobster-turned-movie producer Chili Palmer is back, but this time Chili has abandoned the fickle movie industry and veered into the music business, tangling with Russian mobsters and gangsta rappers and taking a talented, feisty young singer named Linda Moon under his wing. From the recording studio to an Aerosmith concert to the MTV Music Awards, he manipulates events to watch them play out the Chili way, using his signature blend of wiseguy skills and negotiation tactics. It's a dangerous business, and everyone's looking for their next big hit. Written by Sujit R. Varma

Trivia
When speaking about a Honda Insight Chili says, "It's the Cadillac of hybrids", an homage to the line, "It's the Cadillac of mini-vans" from Get Shorty. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When talking to Chili and Evie, Steven Tyler says that he has never appeared in a movie up to this point and doesn't want to start now, obviously a sarcastic line as he is in the film. However, he forgot Wayne's World 2. See more »Crazy Credits
In the closing credits, the various cast members are seen dancing, even theRussian "corpse". See more »
