One of Chris Farley’s Final Movies Was a Divisive Box Office Bomb
Two comedic geniuses up against two of America’s greatest pioneers. An upstanding aristocrat and a filthy wild man toe to toe with a military captain and his second lieutenant. The always-remembered funnyman combination of Chris Farley and Matthew Perry race against the clock to make it to the Pacific Ocean before Lewis and Clark. In all regards, the premise does sound odd on paper, but such a plot did come to be in director Christopher Guest’s 1998 Western comedy called Almost Heroes. Since this film was set in the early 1800s, audiences could surely expect some variety in characters.
