The Big Hit (1998)
Directed by Kirk Wong Chi-Keung
Affable hit man Melvin Smiley is constantly being scammed by his cutthroat colleagues in the life-ending business. So, when he and his fellow assassins kidnap the daughter of an electronics mogul, it's naturally Melvin who takes the fall when their prime score turns sour. That's because the girl is the goddaughter of the gang's ruthless crime boss. But, even while dodging bullets, Melvin has to keep his real job secret from his unsuspecting fiancée, Pam.

What critics compared The Big Hit to
Other moments, especially in Knuckles’ lair where Murray, Stoddard, and Danella lifted elements directly from Che-Kirk Wong’s The Big Hit, though not as intentionally funny, with the characters throwing barbs and ominous stares at each other before breaking out into a fight.
Christina Applegate, so good in Gregg Araki's Nowhere, reverts here to her Married With Children mode, while, in the background, Lela Rochon seems to screech every other line, drawing out her consonants in ways that'd make Urkel proud.
