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. It’s akin to Peter Biskind’s "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls," taking readers through the highs and lows of these iconic funnymen's careers and relationships. Based on candid interviews from stars and key directors, it reveals the hidden history behind the most fertile period for screen comedy.
