Intergender Wrestling Champion of the world. After beating women
time and time again, Jerry Lawler (who plays himself in the
movie), a professional wrestler, got tired of seeing all of this
and decided to challenge Kaufman to a match. In most of the
matches the two had, Lawler prevailed with the piledriver, which
is a move by spiking a guy head-first into the mat. In one of the
most famous moments in this feud was in the early 80s when Kaufman
threw coffee on Lawler on "The Late Show with David
Letterman," got into fisticuffs with Lawler, and proceeded to
sue NBC.

performance artist, her boyfriend until today and his long-time
pal Lucy, two Long Island high-school girls, two punk rockers, a
bartender, a Scottish painter who's lousy in bed, a pretty face
named Jack who runs when women say they love him, his cute but
clumsy date Cindy, two trendy vamps, a loquacious cabby, the
man-crazed Hillary, and Elvis Costello. Nearly everybody smokes,
and nearly everybody scores. And all get who and what they
deserve.
