Action: The Complete Series
Uncut & Unbleeped
In Hollywood, you are only as good as your last film, and Dragonfire Films executive Peter Dragon's last film was a $150-million bomb. He hopes to reverse his fortunes with a blockbuster entitled "Beverly Hills Gun Club" - unfortunately, the only person that is willing to help him is former child actor (and current prostitute) Wendy Ward.

If ya like your characters despicable and your jokes raunchy then try this show on for size. Jay mohr plays a good creep. I have a funny little feeling he ain't acting. Just a hunch.
USELESS FACTS:
Was originally intended to air on HBO, with Oliver Platt as Peter. Fox was offered the show in order to convince HBO to give them more money.
13 Episodes were made but only eight got to air on FOX. The five remaining episodes were shown on FX.Action - The Movie? - LunaSkya
Action is not the easiest show to watch - not because of its complex storylines, rapid-fire dialog where you can't miss a single word, often intentionally offensive imagery, and complete disregard for anything PC - but because you have to pause the DVD every few minutes and hope you don't hyperventilate to death from laughing too hard.
The show centers on the messy, dirty, crooked process of making a film in Hollywood. The logical conclusion of the series was going to be the actual movie - but the show was canceled long before then, for the simple reason that it was too smart for its audience.
With The Colbert Report working hard to raise the average IQ of American television audience, is it possible that Action could be a bigger hit now than it was initially? If I were a TV exec, I would certainly want to test that theory by rerunning the show in syndication. And then, who knows - if the numbers are good, maybe the show can finally be allowed to play out to its logical conclusion.Another Funny series cancelled. A Shame. - DarthRic
A friend told me about this series and wanted me to rent it for him as he was out of luck finding it anywhere. A hilarious look at the movie industry and a completely without morals movie producer who hires a washed up child actress turned hooker as his new advisor. This one unfortunately ends before it can even get started and doesnt have any real ending so if you hate that then dont rent this. But if you love no holds barred comedies then you should go for this. A sleeper hit!
