Cecil B. Demented (2000) - full transcript

In Baltimore, guerrilla filmmaker Cecil B. Demented leads a band of cinema revolutionaries who kidnap Honey Whitlock, a bitchy and aging movie star of big-budget froth. Cecil wants her in his movie, a screed against Hollywood they film during blitzkrieg attacks on a multiplex, a Maryland Film Commission press conference, and the set of a "Forrest Gump" sequel. He insists on celibacy; the cast and crew channel sexual energy into the production. With a family-values coalition, aggrieved Teamsters, and the police on their trail, Cecil needs help from porno, kung-fu, and drive-in audiences. What about Honey? Will she bolt or refuse to act? Or will she hit her marks and light up the screen?

"Some kind of happiness."

H-a-p-p-i-- good, one "n."

"Honey whitlock."

W-h-i-t-- good, good.

That's good.

Try moving a little more
to the right, sinclair.

Is that better,
Mr. Stillings ?

Yeah. Yeah,
that's all right.

But try moving the "n"
a little more to the right.

Hmm.

- Have you met
miss whitlock yet ?
- Not till tonight.



But don't worry, sinclair.
I'll introduce you.

You promise ?
I'd kill to meet her.

Ohh, what a town.

You know, I tell
everybody in Hollywood...

That if you want to shoot on location in Baltimore,

you really don't need to bring
a crew from Los Angeles.

Because Baltimore really is best.

And remember, miss whitlock...

Is every inch a movie star,

and she expects to be onstage at 7:10 P.M. exactly...

In order to ensure live coverage...

From each of the three local news shows.

Oh, by the way,

I hear she's really a nice person.



Look at this dump of a town.

Get me the fuck back to L.A.

God, if one more asshole
mentions a crab cake to me,
I think I'm gonna puke.

Well, did you try
the steamed crabs ?

I'm not interested in any kind
of meal that you have to beat
with a fucking mallet,

wearing some stupid
kind of little bib.

Just a minute !

While families of mutants
gawk in my face.

No, thank you.

Hi.

Your limousine
is here, miss whitlock.
You look beautiful.

Well, thank you,
Charles, darling.
I'm so excited.

We'll be right with you.

Libby, do you think
that pat Nixon got fucked
in this hotel room ?

What ?

It is called
the presidential suite,
isn't it ?

Yes, but--

I bet she did.
Call the manager and ask him.

I can't ask that.

Pat Nixon
was a stroke victim.

I believe it is your job
to ask, is it not ?

Now, call downstairs
and ask the manager...

If pat Nixon got fucked
in my hotel room.

I want to know.

Yes, miss whitlock.

6:41 P.M.

A star is born.

Ten-four, petie.

Christ, Lyle. Look !
There's what's-her-name
from e! Network.

Would you look
at the tits on her !

6:43 P.M.

♪♪

The hotel manager said no.
Pat Nixon never stayed here.

But Nancy Reagan did
in 1986.You actually asked him ?

Y-You said
to call downstairs.

You asked the hotel manager if
pat Nixon had sex in my room ?

Well, sort of. I-I thought
you needed to know.

I was kidding, Libby !

He must think you're
a complete lunatic.

Good god, you
would do anything.

Good luck, miss whitlock.

Excuse me.
Did you hear what that
little bitch just said to me ?

- She didn't know.
- In show business,

we say "break a leg,"
never fucking "good luck" !

You know,
that little cocksucker just put
a curse on my goddamn premiere.

Is every person
in the world an asshole ?

6:42.oh, that's nice.

♪♪

6:44 P.M.
by whatever means necessary.

Two popcorns, please.Butter or plain ?

Honey whitlock !

There she is.
You better get a shot.

Over there !miss whitlock, what an honor.

Mayor fenwick !

6:46 P.M. in the name
of underground cinema.

I have to tell you
that I just love what you've
done with the city.

And Baltimore
loves you back.

I, Adam fenwick, mayor
of the city of Baltimore,

do hereby proclaim
October 29...

To be honey whitlock day
in Baltimore...

And do command this observation
to all of our citizens.

Whereas--

6:47 P.M.

Hey, hey, m.P.A.A., how many
movies did you censor today ?

What's the matter,
miss whitlock ?

A white fucking limousine !

Nobody'll know.
We're in Baltimore.

Do I look like liberace's
goddamn boyfriend,
for Christ's sake ?

I have "black limousine
only" in my contract.

The charity probably
made the arrangements.
It was an honest mistake.

Do I look like
a coke dealer ?no, miss whitlock.

Do I look like I am going
to the fucking prom ?

Break a leg,
miss whitlock.

Here you go, sir.

Uh, miss whitlock,
security's gonna have my ass
if we're late. We gotta go.

Do not say "ass" to me,
trailer trash.

I will have you fired.

Now, you're with the studio,
is that correct ?

Yes. Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Let me get that for you.

Got it right here.
Yeah. Here you go.

I'm so sorry. Here,
these first two right there.
Okay, enjoy the show.

Yeah, 6:48 P.M. an Usher's
job is never done.

Put down the flashlight,
pick up the gun.

Some kind of happiness
is, you know, a screwball
romantic comedy.

It's life-affirming but realistic, and, well, to be honest,

with all the misery that
goes on in the world today,

couldn't we use a little
optimism in the movies ?

6:50 P.M.
fuck the studio system !

Tickets, please.

The heart fund's
a wonderful cause.
Thanks for your support.

You're welcome.

7:01 P.M.
inch by motherfucking inch.

Yes, sir ?two for henman.

Why don't you just
sit right there ?

7:02 P.M.

When the word is given,
we will seize the cinema.

Hey, come back !
Give me an autograph !

7:06 P.M.
the big snatch.

Good evening, miss whitlock,

and welcome to the historic
senator theater.

Thank you.

Enjoy the show.Thank you.

Good evening.
I'm Sylvia Mallory,

the chairman of the
Baltimore heart fund,

and this is William.

He's so cute.

William had heart surgery
just seven days ago.

And thanks to the blood
transfusions paid for
by your generosity...

At tonight's premiere,
he's going to be all right.

Aren't you, William ?

I don't wanna be here !

William's a little grumpy.

Get off of me, ugly !

But he's alive,
and that's what counts.

Miss whitlock ! Miss whitlock !

Miss whitlock, please !

What ?

Channel 45 here. Can I ask you a couple questions ?

And now for the moment
you've all been waiting for.

You first saw honey whitlock

Hello, miss whitlock.

I am Cecil b. Demented,
and I'm your new director.

I'd like you to meet
your co-stars.

I call them
the sprocket holes.
This is Cherish.

Hi. I played you
in lots of porno movies.

Some kind of happiness--
I've already shot it,

only it's called
some kind of horniness.

That's all behind me. I'm an outlaw cinema girl now.

- Lyle.
- Hi. I'm Lyle.

I'm your leading man.

I've had a boner for you
for years.

Don't worry. We've all taken a vow of celibacy for celluloid.

No one gets laid
until we've finished our movie.

We're horny...

But our film comes first.

And now for the crew.

I'm Pam.

I'm director of photography,
and you better hit your Mark.

And remember,
speak up, bitch !

I'm chardonnay,
and I do the sound.

I'm Lewis, the art director,
and I hope you dig it here.

'Cause you ain't goin'
nowhere else.

I'm fidget, the costumer.

Sorry. I gotta
give you a new look.

Hi.

I'm raven. I'm a satanist,
and I'll be doing your makeup.

Oh, my god,
you look so pale.

Sorry...

But Satan says
you need more color.

Call me Rodney.

Tomorrow, I'm bleaching
your hair out platinum.

And I should warn you.

I hate fucking roots !

Hey, remember me ? I'm petie. I'll be your driver.

♪♪ I'll take you anywhere.

Anywhere but home.

I'm dinah,
Cecil's producer.

And I do everything.

I've been knocking down money
from every big Hollywood hit...

For years just to pay
for this equipment !

So fuck with me, sister,
and you're dead !

We made the news.

So once again, our top story:
Sylvia Mallory,

the 52-year-old chairwoman of the Baltimore heart fund,

died tonight
at union memorial hospital...

Following an onstage heart attack she suffered...

In the middle of honey whitlock's kidnapping at tonight's movie premiere.

The teenage gang
of cinema terrorists...

Who apparently
infiltrated the staff
of the senator theater...

Are now eligible
for the death penalty
in the state of Maryland.

None of them have been
apprehended.

We're gonna make our
first film, miss whitlock,
and nobody's gonna stop us.

Lots of kids dream
of making a movie,

but only the ones willing
to die for it succeed.

Ow ! Ow ! Ow !
Ow ! Ow !

I don't wanna be blonde !

You're going off the deep end
of the clairol color chart.

Ow ! It is burning
my scalp !

Hey, beauty
comes from agony.

Everybody knows that.

I haven't had this much fun
since my last livestock
mutilation.

Ouch !
That really hurts !

In the house of pain,
there are 10,000 shrines.

Allistair crowley said that.

Let's wash her out.

No, no. Please let me go.
I won't tell anybody
about your little movie.

Little ?

Well, I didn't mean little.
I meant, like, low budget,
like cult.

Good morning,
miss whitlock.
Know your lines ?

Please, Mr. Demento--
is that correct ?

Demented !

You have the wrong star
for this movie.

Nonsense, miss whitlock.
I wrote the part
just for you.

And the whole world
is watching.

Not even your agent
can help you now.

Finish her hair !

Ow ! Ow, ow !
It's burning my scalp !

Ow ! Shit !shut up !

I hate these fucking things.
Damn security devices !

Fidget, fidget,
my little genius fidget.

- Ow !
- Please take off your clothes.

What ?

I said take off your clothes.

You heard me. Don't be a prude.

Come on, strip !oh, shit.

Yeah, yeah, take 'em off.

Um...

Do I have a dressing room
or a trailer ?

Miss whitlock,
we're on a schedule.

They're not allowed
any form of sexual release.

Screen actors guild
is gonna hear about this,
and I mean it. God !

Look at that ass ! Goddamn !

Nice vessel.

- I see London.
- I see France.

I see honey's underpants.

Oh, my god !
I look terrible !

All right ! All right !
You're wanted on set.

This is sprocket house,
miss whitlock.

Think of it as your studio.

Morning.

Can't you even say
good morning to Lewis ?

He's worked
very hard on this set
with a budget of zero.

Morning.all these materials...

Were stolen
from city-owned construction
sites, just for you.

See, we gonna have us
a hit, miss whitlock.

Now, our picture
is called raving beauty.

You play the insane owner
of a failed art theater...

Who, along with her film
fanatic boyfriend Lyle--

Lyle, come on over.

And her violence-prone
daughter Cherish--

daughter ?

Together,
the three of you vow...

To start a revolution
to destroy mainstream cinema.

I can't be in this movie.

You dare to tell
Cecil b. Demented
you refuse ?

I am too young
to play her mother.

I know how old you are.

All right, well,
I just don't feel it.

I just am not motivated.How's this
for motivation, huh ?

Ow !

There are no
creative differences on
a Cecil b. Demented set.

You got that ?

One day you'll thank me
for saving you from your
bad career. Places !

All right,
walk-through rehearsal.

Come on, you heard him.
This ain't Hollywood.

Hey, honey,
you want some ecstasy ?

No.

And... action.

Hey, Cherish, it's 8:00.

Is it time to get this show
on the screen or what ?

We didn't sell
one ticket, Lyle.
Nobody came.

What ? Pasolini's playing,
and we have an empty theater ?

"It's that fucking new multiplex
that opened in the mall."

I heard they were sold out
last night, mom.

No, not for the flintstones
sequel !

"Somebody's got to pay
for this insult."

Oh, god !

"From the empty seats
of every good movie theater
in america...

"We will rise up to take back the screen.

Death to those who support
mainstream cinema."

Do you see the pain your
performance is causing me, huh !

Okay, yes, I do.
Fine, I'll do it.

Okay ?
Let's just shoot it. Fine !

All right, places ! Pam !

Picture's up !
Camera rolling !

Speed.mark it !

And... action !

Hey, Cherish, it's 8:00.

It's that fucking new

No, not for the flintstones
sequel.

Somebody's gotta pay
for this insult.

From the empty seats of every good movie theater in america...

We will rise up
to take back the screen.

Death to those who support
mainstream cinema !

Cut ! And print it !

That's more like it,
miss whitlock.

Yeah ! Yeah !

But, you know,
to be frank, Cecil--

I mean, in my real
film life, I would never
make this movie.

I mean, the message
is absolutely ridiculous.

Ask theater owners
in any country,

and they will tell you
that Hollywood makes
the best films in the world,

and I am proud to be
a part of that system.

Let's move on.

Well, wait a minute.
No coverage ?

The first take
is the only real truth.

But you can't cut a film
with just a master.

There are no rules
in outlaw cinema, miss whitlock.
Only edges.

We believe technique to be
nothing more than failed style.

You see,
I've had a vision.

And that vision is called
ultimate reality !

The rest of our film is shot
in real life with real people...

And, yes, with real terror.

I see a fucking root already.

Ow ! Cecil, I'm a much better
actress in a studio.

That's not whattime
magazine has to say.

"Miss whitlock seems
a little ill at ease
and past her prime...

"To carry a picture
by herself.

Especially one
as sappy and overproduced
as some kind of happiness."

- Timemagazine said that ?
- Your movie's gonna lose
$30 million.

Can I ask you a question ?

Did you ever fuck Mel Gibson ?

Cecil, give yourself up.
It's not too late.

Our movie goes into profit
the day we sell
the first ticket.

How big is his dick, anyway ?

You know what ?
Come with me to Hollywood,

and I will get you a job
as a production assistant
on a real Hollywood movie.

Tell me about Mel Gibson's
dick and balls !

No movie is worth dying for.

Ow ! Rodney,
why do you have to hurt me ?

Gay men are supposed

Petie loves me, and I can't

Ow ! Ow, it's burning me !

Ow ! Ow ! Ow ! Ow ! Ow ! You're hurting me !

Good morning, miss whitlock.

Cecil, I want

Your old career is over,

but your comeback
has just begun.

Roll it.

Well, see, I was in the audience
when they attacked.

Oh ! Honey, man, honey whitlock was awesome !

She was so cool.

I think honey whitlock is right. Most films suck,

and it's time somebody did something about it.

Nobody forced her
to be in that movie,
but she was damn good.

Scarier than hell,
if you ask me.

She looked different from her other films too. I don't know-- younger.

Mmm.

Now, there are still
some people who don't
understand our work.

This one's live.

Cecil b. Demented,
the Maryland film commission
refuses to be intimidated...

By your pathetic gang
of cinematic misfits.

That's why we're here today
in the inner harbor...

To celebrate location
shooting in Maryland...

With many of the brave
production and studio heads
from out of state...

Who also say no to cinema terrorism.

I have a vision.

And this time,
somebody might have to die.

Ohhh.

Ohhh.

Ow !

Okay, in this scene,
you guys are the avenging angels
of underground cinema.

We'll let those
fat cat producers know.

Yeah, that Maryland isn't safe
for their kind of movies.

Cherish, this is america.
It's a free country.

People can make bad movies
if they so desire.

- Not anymore, they don't.
- You think 'cause you've made
real movies, you're better ?

- Oh, please.
- Do you know why I became
a porno star ?

Cherish has
recovered memory.

Mm-hmm.
When I was ten years old,

my entire family fucked me
under the Christmas tree.

- I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, I bet you are.

"Jingle balls, jingle balls," my
stupid brother started singing.

You think that's funny ?

- No, I don't.
- That's all behind you
now, Cherish.

We're here, and we're
making movies.

This way.

"Fuck her,"
yelled my grandmother.

How would you like that
if it happened to you ?i wouldn't.

It's okay, Cherish.
This way.

Hey, honey.What ?

Nervous ? Wanna try
some special k ?i am working, Lyle !

"Human pile,"
screamed my grandfather
as they all jumped on.

Do you even know
what a human pile is ?i do.

I think I can
figure it out.

Come on !

Ask anyone who has shot their film in Maryland.

We have the exact location that you need for your next production.

From mountains to beaches.

From small towns
to urban settings.

My father sat on my face
as he opened his
Christmas presents.

Oh, really ?
Are you sure any of this
really happened ?

Yes, it really happened !
"Oh, Santa, why hast thou
forsaken me," I screamed.

But she doesn't
believe me !i believe you.

Shut up, Cherish ! I told you,
that's all over with.

Save your rage
and use it in the cinema !yes, Cecil.

Go ! Go !

The Maryland film commission
pledges to work with state
and federal agencies...

To make your shoot here in Maryland...

As inexpensive and trouble free as possible.

Hey, hey !

That's why we call Baltimore the Hollywood of the east.

- See Pam there ?
- Yeah.

That's your Mark.

When you hear "action,"
I want you to jump off the roof,

landing in front

Surely you realize
I could be seriously injured.

- Suffer for celluloid !
- There should at least be
an airbag...

Or some kind
of safety precaution.

Just call me irresponsible.

Keep eating !

Keep eating, you fuckers !

Didn't you produce
that bad Hollywood remake
of that beautiful foreign film ?

I had to.
You know American audiences
won't watch subtitles.

Didn't you just green light

It wasn't my idea !

No, please don't shoot me !

So tell me the truth now.

Did you ever,

suspect that your ex-wife...

Had, well, you know,

Well, I'll tell you, roseanne.

I was married to honey whitlock
for seven years,

and I'm not a bit surprised
what a nut she really is.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Satan loves you, honey.

And so do I.

Honey whitlock was always attracted to the wrong kind of man.

I wouldn't be surprised
if she was in on her kidnapping
from the very beginning.

She'd do anything for sex.

Please come to the concession stand at the end of the film...

To show your fellow drive-in fans your costumes...

And maybe take home a grand prize...

Of a ten-pound Smithfield ham.

hot dogs, popcorn...

And the candy of your choice.

Oh, right.
That's really funny, asshole.

Kill the bitch !she never could act !

We are shooting the final scene here tonight.

I wish Cecil would kill
some more assholes.

Yeah, like those phony critics
who give all good reviews
in the movie ads.

Or those last-minute
fuck-head ticket buyers...

Who enter the theater after
the feature's begun.

Join the revolution against Hollywood movies.

Bring cinema wars home to theaters in your neighborhood...

And punish those who stand in the way ofyour kind of entertainment.

Cinema hoodlums,

you can destroy commercial cinema as we know it.

Burn down the multiplexes.

Stop the mass-distribution of mediocre movies !

This is a warning to all cinemagoers.

Mainstream movie fans, we will Bury you.

Cecil b. Demented,
you are surrounded.

Give yourself up
and you and your cast and crew

than change my movie !
