Kralj komedije

Slovenski opis filma:

Rupert Pupkin je blazni komik, ki bi za soj žarometov naredil karkoli. Skupaj z enako neuravnovešeno žensko ugrabi svojega idola, voditelja pogovorne televizijske oddaje Jarryja Langforda. Odkupnina zanj je Pupkinov nastop v njegovi oddaji.Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) je v življenju patetična zguba, v lastni domišljiji pa zvezdnik namišljene komične oddaje, ki jo uprizarja v kleti materine hiše. Ko spozna slavnega voditelja pogovorne televizijske oddaje Jerryja Langforda (Jerry Lewis), je prepričan, da se mu obeta karierni preboj, vendar Langforda nikakor ne zanima samooklicani komik. Blazni Pupkin tako zalezuje Langforda in ko mu ga ne uspe prepričati, ga ugrabi ter za odkupnino zahteva nastop kot gost v Langfordovi televizijski oddaji.

Originalni opis filma:

Rupert Pupkin is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around. He does not give up, however, but persists in stalking Jerry until he gets what he wants. Eventually he must team up with his psychotic Langford-obsessed friend Masha to kidnap the talk show host in hopes of finally getting to perform his stand-up routine.
