Pluto Nash
aka: The Adventures of Pluto Nash
US 2002. Village Roadshow/Castle Rock/NPV Entertainment. 82m(DVD version).

In 2087 the wisecracking owner of the Moon's most profitable nightclub is pursued by gangsters who want to turn it into a casino.
Hip comedy Blade Runner variation with some good cameos and occasional sight gags, but the script just isn't good enough to justify such huge expense on sets and special effects. Proportionately one of the most unsuccessful films ever made, costing hundreds of millions of dollars and barely bringing in one tenth of that at the box office.
