IMDb profile

Made is a 2001 film written and directed by Jon Favreau. It stars Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Peter Falk, and Sean Combs. Although technically not a sequel, Made is often considered to be Favreau and Vaughn's follow-up to their 1996 film Swingers.

[edit] Plot synopsis

Bobby is a struggling boxer and bodyguard for his stripper girlfriend. But he hates his work and wants to move up. So he agrees to go to New York City for his boss to help in the delivery for a money laundering scheme. His partner in crime is his best friend Ricky, an obnoxious loudmouth who has seen one too many mafia movies. Bobby tries to keep it cool and get the job done, but Ricky's antics threaten to blow the entire situation.

[edit] Trivia

Made is noted for having many uses of the word "fuck": the word is used a total of 291 times. In fact, Made has one of the highest "fuck-per-minute" (FPM) ratio of any feature-length film: 3.1.
Tom Morello, most commonly known as the Guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, makes a short cameo in the film as "Best Man." Adult actress Jenteal also has a small cameo in the same scene as a stripper named Wendy.
The license plate of Jimmy's Limo reads "DBLDN11." This is a reference to a blackjack strategy articulated in Swingers that one should "always double down on an 11."
The high school football coach Favreau and Vaughn receive advice from early on in the film is Vaughn's dad, Vernon Vaughn.
The old woman leading a pack of school children through the zoo is Jon Favreau's grandmother, Joan Favreau.
Dustin Diamond has a cameo appearance as himself, where Vince Vaughn's character incredulously questions a doorman at a club as to why "Screech" was allowed into the venue while he was not.
