The situation worsens as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the evildoers. Along with this we have the zany slapstick of a jive talkin' black man (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a nosy reporter (Ray Liotta) has secrets regarding his messy past. Just as the good guy are departing on their perlious journey, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Hotel California much to the disappointment of the ATF .
