Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jon Favreau filmed this between Swingers and his Iron Man destiny—he's basically playing a failed version of his usual hustler.
This belongs to a weird 1996 mini-genre of 'sexy thieves betray incompetent men' that Desperado started and everyone else misunderstood.
