Backfire! 1995  PG-13, 89 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Dean Bell
Cast: Kathy Ireland, Josh Mosby, Mary McCormack, Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Telly Savalas, Edie Falco, Jeffrey Howard, Michelle Miller, Marissa Copeland
In the tradition of "Airplane!" and "Naked Gun," this film is a spoof on another movie, in this case "Backdraft." The main difference is that this movie is not funny, though it crudely tries to be. Jeremy Jackson (Josh Mosby) is the only male fireman in an all-female fire department. Then fires break out in toilets, and the old fire marshal (Robert Mitchum) investigates. Jeremy uncovers the culprit, "The Most Evil Man" (Telly Savalas).

Immediately following a botched computer heist, Bill (Robert John Burke) is double-crossed by his partner/girlfriend. He then sets off with brother Dennis (Bill Sage) in search of their long-lost father who has escaped from prison. Quirky characters.
