'Hollywood Man' (released in the UK as 'Death Threat') is a 1976 American film directed by Jack Starrett. The film was featured in the 1997 Quentin Tarantino Film Festival.
Plot
Cash-strapped actor/director Rafe Stoker (Smith) reluctantly agrees to put up almost all of his personal fortune as collateral to shady investors in order to complete production on his action film. In turn, they hire Harvey (Girardin), an unstable biker, to sabotage the production so that they can collect on Stoker's pledge. Harvey and his gang engage in escalating acts of violence against Stoker's film crew and other random people while Stoker desperately attempts to complete his film shoot amidst other production delays. After completing the movie, Stoker and his girlfriend Julie (Woronov) are gunned down by thugs hired by his backers.
