Description

After losing his job, girlfriend, and apartment, lifelong prankster Mitch moves in with his childhood best friend Sam, and Sam’s cantankerous father, Pops. When Pops has a heart attack, his surgeon, Dr. Farthing, delivers grim news: Pops needs a new heart, which Farthing will gladly secure in exchange for $50,000 to pay off his gambling debts. Desperate for a lot of cash quickly, Sam and Mitch realize that their joint love of causing mischief could be the perfect means of raising funds, thus opening a revenge-for-hire business named “Dirty Work.” With creative solutions to spiteful problems and chaotically doled-out retribution, clients are lining up. But when an evil local politician hires them to pull off an especially malicious prank, Mitch is forced to reckon with the consequences of his actions.

Pushing the boundaries of crass gags and raunchy dialogue, acclaimed comedian Bob Saget’s (TV's Full House) sole theatrical feature directing effort, DIRTY WORK stars and was co-written by the legendary Norm Macdonald (TV’s Saturday Night Live). Featuring supporting performances from some of the biggest names in comedy history, including Artie Lange (TV’s Mad TV), Chevy Chase (National Lampoon’s Vacation), Don Rickles (Beach Blanket Bingo), and Chris Farley (Tommy Boy), plus two-time Academy Award® nominee Jack Warden as Pops, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the 4K UHD debut of DIRTY WORK, newly restored from its original camera negative and presented both in its theatrical version as well as its long lost “Dirtier Cut,” which is being presented to the general public for the first time ever!

    Dirty Work; Clean Win

    Love the work done on this.

    A must-have for any fan of comedy, particularly Norm or Sagat fans.

    The quality of the transfer, the extras, the Director's edit- it's a complete package.

    I don't really know how not to sound generic with my praise because it's really just as simple as what I put in my title. It's a clear, obvious, clean WIN.

    RIP Chris Farley, Don Rickles, Norm Macdonald, Bob Saget, and others who worked on this cult classic.
