As the insecure action-film superstar Kit Ramsey, Murphy is hilarious. A kind of Sylvester Stallone by way of Scientology advocate John Travolta, Kit is sexually fixated on the Los Angeles Lakers cheerleaders and comes complete with a worshipful entourage, Godzilla-sized ego and paranoia.
Kit also detects racist slurs everywhere.
That his name also happens to be an anagram of this phrase, is a nice touch. Kit's other mantra involves keeping something in his pants. She also seduces Bowfinger himself, the supposedly innocent dreamer who falls for the dazzling beauty unaware she's using him to further her career. Bowfinger accosts at the chic Hollywood hangout Le Dome. Martin helped pave the way for people like Adam Sandler.
