Knoxville's next movie role was in comedy Big Trouble, which must have seemed like an amazing stroke of luck for the prankster stuntman. Director Barry Sonnenfeld was hot off the back of Men in Black and Get Shorty, and Knoxville got to rub shoulders with a talented comedy cast including Tim Allen, Stanley Tucci, Janeane Garofalo and Jason Lee.
Perhaps the vastness of the cast was part of the problem, with Knoxville failing to get much of a look in. Sadly this overstuffed crime comedy doesn't have anywhere near the amount of laughs or thrills required to sustain interest in the convoluted plot. The fact that the film was postponed in aftermath of 9/11 didn't help matters.
Pain Rating? Average: a fire extinguisher in the head probably counts as small fry for Prince of Pain Knoxville.
