The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jonathan Lynn
Starring: Amanda Peet, Bruce Willis, Kevin Pollak, Matthew Perry, Michael Clarke Duncan, Natasha Henstridge, Rosanna Arquette
Nicholas "OZ" Ozeranski (Matthew Perry) a nice if nervous-by-nature dentist is married to a shrew of a wife and just trying to stay sane when a contract killer, Jimmy Tudeski (Bruce Willis) moves in next door. Pushed by his wife to collect the reward on Jimmy's head, Oz end up embroiled in a mess of mobsters. With the help of his perky hygienist Jill (Amanda Peet) and Jimmy's sultry ex wife Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge) he and Jimmy try to fight off the mob hitmen who want revenge on Jimmy for testifying against them.
Continuity mistake: When Mathew Perry goes to Chicago to meet with the head Boss, Bruce Willis' wife comes to talk with him at the hotel. In the scene where he is brushing his teeth he picks up the mouthwash bottle and swigs some, then sets the bottle down on the counter. The camera cuts back to her, then back to Matthew Perry, and the mouthwash is gone. (00:32:50)
Janni Gogolack: You know I have this same car?
Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky: Really?
Janni Gogolack: No.
Trivia: Matthew Perry bet Bruce Willis that if the film would open at the top of the charts in the US (which it did) he would have to guest in an episode of Friends for free (which he did, plus all further episode payments were given to charity).
