- Synopsis:
- In Amy Heckerling's hilarious send-up of 1930's gangster films, Michael Keaton stars as Johnny Dangerously, a devoted son who turns to a life of crime in order to pay for his mother's operation. As a dapper kingpin, he manages to provide support for her never-ending medical problems while romancing a steamy torch singer (Marilu Henner), battling arch-rival Danny Vermin (Joe Piscopo), and exposing a corrupt District Attorney (Danny DeVito). It's a zany, wild spoof that's riddled with as many gags as bullet holes!
