8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE opens. Director Hal Ashby's last film. Written by Oliver Stone, R. Lance Hill (and an uncredited Robert Towne), from the novel by Lawrence Block. Extensively script-doctored, studio mangled box-office flop salvaged from complete wipeout by a hard working Jeff Bridges as a boozy, ex-cop saving hookers dodging bullets from Scarface wannabe drug dealers. With Rosanna Arquette, Andy Garcia and Alexandra Paul.
