I wouldn't extort a nickel from my worst enemy. That's where I draw the line.

Well, I'll tell you, Jake. I knew a whore once. For the right amount of money, she'd piss in a guy's face. But she wouldn't shit on his chest. You see, that's where she drew the line.

Well, Junior, all I can say is: I hope she wasn't too much of a disappointment to you.

The Two Jakes

Nicholson

The sequel to &quot;Chinatown&quot; (1974) finds Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) investigating adultery and murder... and the money that comes from oil.

Made 16 years after its famous predecessor, the film had a very troubled production, and was supposed to be made around 1985. Originally, producer Robert Evans was to play the &quot;second&quot; Jake, but Towne, who was going to direct the film at that time, did not think he was the right choice and fired him. After this, Nicholson ended up directing (and it would be his last film to date).

Obviously, it was never going to be as good as the original. But it did not deserve to flop, either. Jack Nicholson is commanding in his performance (and direction), and I would suspect that the film would have a growing fan base as Harvey Keitel&apos;s star rose post-Tarantino. This is the same great underworld as before, and I wish a third film would have come to pass.
