Gone Fishin' Cover ArtGone Fishin’ (1997)
Directed by: Christopher Cain
Starring: Danny Glover (Gus Green), Joe Pesci (Joe Waters), Rosanna Arquette (Rita), Nick Brimble (Dekker Massey)

In this whopper of a fish tale, a pair of bumbling best friends on a doomed fishing trip in the Everglades manage not to catch any fish, but they do manage to land a dangerous criminal!

Joe (Joe Pesci) and Gus (Danny Glover) are shown early-on as two of life's losers. As children, they accidenally blow up a factory. Years later as adults, they get to go on a fishing vacation, which of course, goes wildly wrong. First, they are conned out of their car keys by a con-man killer (Nick Brimble), who preys on older women. As they give pursuit, they team up with two young women (Rosanna Arquette, Lynn Whitfield) who are also after the killer for taking all of Arquette's mother's jewelry & money. Many disasters later, Joe and Gus chase down Dekker Massey in an exciting airboat chase. Finally, these fishermen really do some fishing, managing to “hook” the crook, and reel him in - right off the float of a Maule during takeoff!
