Jimmy Hollywood (1994)

Plot: Jimmy Alto is an actor wannabe who stumbles into the role of a lifetime. He becomes a vigilante crime-fighter, aided by his sidekick William, who has suffered a head wound and has problems with short-term memory. Jimmy's vigilante alter ego soon becomes a media wonder--but Jimmy remains a total unknown and his long-suffering girl friend Lorraine is getting fed up with the whole situation.

Alternative Plot: Jimmy Alto (Joe Pesci) is an unemployed actor in Hollywood, Calif., who decides to allay his boredom by fighting crime. With assistance from his dim-witted buddy, William (Christian Slater), Jimmy forms a vigilante group and adopts the alias "Jericho." Rather than take on criminals directly, Jimmy records them engaging in illegal activities and then gives the evidence to the cops. Inevitably, this pursuit winds up getting Jimmy and William into plenty of trouble.
