Foot Shooting Party
Anyone seen this 1994 movie? This has to based on Greggs story, I assume. Reading the review below from the director is like reading it right out of Greggs book or hearing Gregg tell the story. And Gregg was telling that story Long before 1994.
"As the director of this film my opinion is of course, biased but I must say, "The Foot Shooting Party" is a relevant film for our times. Its message is delivered beautifully by all of the cast most particularly Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Rapaport. Five young men in a rock 'n roll band on the verge of success, get together to shoot lead singer/songwriter Bud (DiCaprio) in the foot so he won't have to go off to war. Gathered around a bottle of Tequilla, a pistol, and a target painted on Bud's foot--with red fingernail polish, so he won't blow his foot off--the evening degenerates into a passionate debate over what is right, what our obligations are to self and country, and whether anything any one person does can make a difference. The suspense--will he shoot himself in the foot or not, and the poignancy of this baby faced boy (DiCaprio turned 19 on the set) confronting such a serious decision is visceral."
I haven't seen the movie, but the only thing they left out of the review is where Duane threatens him, because the pretty ladies came here tonight to see a foot shootin'.
