THE HARD WAY

This buddy-action comedy mocks its genre. Actor Michael J. Fox needs to get under a cop's skin to research an upcoming role, and he picks an irritable New York City hard case (James Woods) as his source material. As if dealing with Fox weren't enough, the cop has a serial killer to catch. Fox soon learns that in the real world, you can't say "Cut."

THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS

Kansas boy Michael J. Fox moves to New York City with a dream of taking big business by storm. He lands a job in the mailroom of a big company (run by his uncle), meets the lovely Helen Slater and masquerades as executive boy wonder Carlton Whitfield. Can Fox keep up the charade, win the girl and run the boardroom?
