Wild and Crazy Guys
"Wild and Crazy Guys" is the larger-than-life story of the much-loved Hollywood comedy stars that ruled the 1980s. This paperback edition features never-seen-before bonus material. It delves behind the scenes of classic movies such as "Ghostbusters," "Beverly Hills Cop," "The Blues Brothers," "Trading Places," and many others, chronicling the off-screen antics of John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Candy, and more. The book explores themes of drugs, sex, punch-ups, and features wild tales like Bill Murray being pushed into a swimming pool by Hunter S. Thompson.
