    • Trivia
      According to the screenwriters on Selling Your Screenplay podcast #81, the only reason the film was greenlit was due to a pending Actor strike in Sept 2000, so it was written in 10 days in May, filmed in June and wrapped in August- unheard of for a major studio film.

    • Quotes

      Corky: I never thought I'd live to see the day that an FBI agent would be peddling smack.

      Agent Brick Davis: Don't act so surprised. J. Edgar Hoover used to wear a dress.

      Corky: Just tell me why, Brick.

      Agent Brick Davis: I don't know. I suppose it made him feel sexy.

      Corky: Not Hoover, You.

    Stop Thinking and Laugh!
    When the mobster Francis A. 'Pops' Romano (Peter Folk) is sent to the court, the Romano family decides to send an undercover man to destroy the evidences against him without knowing that there is an informer in mafia. The clumsy loser veterinary son Corky Romano (Chris KattaN), who is not a criminal, is infiltrated in the FBI to destroy the evidences against his father.

    Based on the bad reviews in IMDb, I saw "Corky Romano" with the lowest expectation I could have, but I liked it. The story is silly, but there are many funny situations. The lead character is a completely a**hole, but all his mistakes work in the end. It is also worthwhile to see also the sexy Vinessa Shaw. Do not think, watch this film with low expectation and in the end you might be surprised laughing a lot. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "A Arma Secreta da Máfia" ("The Mafia's Secret Weapon")
